Call the gender police! A shopping center security guard thought I was a dude.
I’m also hoping to do some writing tonight about being a good trans ally, and a review of Full Frontal Feminism.
Two of my favorite posts from the week:
Here’s my opinion on the supposed ethical quandary surrounding abortion based on fetal genetic deformity: The Ethics of Genetic Deformity-Based Abortion
And here’s a look at Palestine that asks the question Why Are More Women Becoming Suicide Bombers?
I have a long post about being a single mom in poverty and the struggle to raise my children, for my oldest daughter’s 21st birthday.
Here’s a bunch of stuff!
It’s all pretty short, this week, except for a bit of a rant on how I do not feel I need to choose between being a feminist and wearing pretty shoes….
My review of Courtney Martin’s Perfect Girls, Starving Daughters is up here. The conclusion:
This is a rich and important book that touches on an extraordinary number of issues, from the absence of women in hip-hop to internet pornography to Title IX to the “post-college blues” that so often prove so crushing to young women in the first two to three years after graduation. Inevitably, Courtney can’t cover all of these influences exhaustively, and a reader familiar with these issues may be hungry for more than this book can offer. But as an overall introduction to the scope of the contemporary problem, and as a catalyst for discussion about long-term solutions, Perfect Girls, Starving Daughters is a tremendous success.
Some Mother’s Day facts Bush wouldn’t want you to know…

Help track down one of needlework’s first, most famous, and yet most mysterious examples of feminism in America. We have to prove it’s no urban legend!
I still really need help reaching someone who will think this issue important enough that the changes which need to happen to protect women’s health really DO happen.
A three part interview with my mom about her experiences as a mother of four in her mid-30s going back to school to try to become an astronomer.
A post about the life of my recently deceased hundred-year-old grandmother.
Um, I’m really pissed off about the term “eco-terrorist.”
Well, it is Mothers’ Day. I Love My Mom Because, a paper I wrote based on an interview she gave me for fall quarter.
Happy Mothers’ Day to a few mothers I know, in pictures.
I was pleasantly surprised by a couple of things in Spider-Man 3.
As promised: help me be a long-distance supporter! I need education, folks.
Sing this petition telling Fidelity to divest from companies that help fund the genocide in Darfur.
“Fidelity Investments is a major holder of PetroChina, a Chinese oil company that is one of the highest offenders in helping fund the genocide in Darfur.”

Story about police officer in Omaha who was CONVICTED of first degree sexual assault but served NO JAIL TIME because his victim was a prostitute.
I wrote a post in reaction to some of the comments in the thread about Ciolli’s firing (or rather non-hiring)
Why men don’t get to decided if talk about rape is threatening
I should warn that it’s not what you would call pleasant reading.
I’ve got a fairly unpopular feminist commentary to Women who are afraid to blog/aka hatespeech against women bloggers/aka the kathy Sierra mess, that I think merits some consideration, and a clip of a censored painting of a breast cancer survivor along with my own art censorship story, that I’d love for some of ya’ll to have a look at!
A long essay about Buffy, Spike, love, sex, war, violence, depression, PTSD, and why she deserved better.
Feminist Gamers has been a little quiet this week, but we had some fun with a post by Zach over at Molten Boron regarding the dumbass sexist commenters at Kotaku.
A totally O/T question for the feministe mods: Are everyone’s comments moderated these days, or do I have some sort of bad behavior marks against me?
Not as exciting as last week’s entry, but I did get my drains pulled last Wednesday. Subsequently I also updated the Wikipedia entry for Jackson-Pratt drains. The picture on the entry is of my 2nd set of Jackson-Pratts.
OK, I’m very late on this, but I’ll recommend two of my recent posts:
Bush Pretends To Fight Global Warming
Republicans Love Taxes (as long as it’s the middle class who pays them)
I’m also late on this but wanted to include a recent post on sexist hotel sex kits and a post about Belladonna and women’s agency in the porn industry from Babeland’s blog.
