NOT self promotion. More like an idea for a post which I have no other way to communicate to Feministe writers:

Who besides myDD blogger David Kowalski noticed how much gender seems to have playe a roll both in Republican lossess and Democratic wins in Novembers congressional elections?

[...] rgies has meant I haven’t posted as regularly as I’d like. Heck, I even missed shameless self-promotion Sunday this week, which is a travest [...]

I don't mind shamelessly plugging my own site: A post about some of the terms that google asks "Did you mean: he" about. -and- A post critical of Wonder Woman's costume, and how it could be better.

Better late than never? I thought I didn’t have a good “feministe” post this week, but I think the one on Katha Pollitt’s birth dearth is worth a read – especially her article at the link:

I don't have one of my own, but I highly recommend a friend's post about abortion and the myth of the irresponsible woman.

Well this would have been better in the thread about Garance's op-ed on raising the age on porn but I thought I had a better idea to give the women who want to do Girls Gone Girl some space to make their choice.

And there’s better legal options besides raising consent laws to 21 to achieve a similar kind of result (or at least a greater level of protection from bottom-feeders like Francis). How about changing the law on getting signed consent forms? You could stipulate that for any filming that involves nudity, a legal consent form can only be signed 48 hours after filming. Meaning that the producer can only get a valid consent release form after giving the subject two days to reconsider her decision to let him film her. (Or to sober up). Not a retroactive, you have two-days-to-retract-given-consent. You have to be reapproached by the filmmaker after 48 hours have passed since filming and only then does a consent form give you legal protection from being sued.

Ditto on what Mighty Ponygirl said – I really get a kick out of reading all of these links every week.

Inspired by the governor of Oregon's experiment in shopping for a week's worth of groceries on $21 worth of foodstamps, I'm keeping track of all my foodstamp expenses through the month of May. The series is called Foodstamp Chronicles, and so far is the bulk of May's blogging. As you'll see, when you're poor AND disabled, getting to the food is sometimes half the battle. So, starting here, and going on, the Foodstamp Chronicles.
