    Perfect timing! Two more things this week and, in the same vein as last week, one is an exploration of gender on TV, this time in Scott and Bailey.

    The second one was inspired by an unpleasant incident in a park, and concerns my feelings about the genderedness of hand-kissing.

    Blog posts this week at Femmedia, my blog dedicated to feminism, games, media and smut :

    Non-Violent Video Games Skyrim has a relationship aspect to it, and I adore this addition to the gameplay. The relationship / romance mods for Morrowind and Oblivion were both incredibly popular – which makes me really wonder. If men are primarily the players of Morrowind and Oblivion, then men must really be looking forward to these aspects to – after all, there’s a good possibility that many of these relationship mods were even created by men!

    (Role)playing the Victim Rape victims, then, are to have been raped by a stranger, have suffered physical signs of abuse like bruises, while dressed modestly and not under the influence of drugs or alcohol, preferably in a good part of town, and afterwards they are to be a husk of what they once were, consumed with sadness and anguish and pain.

    Societal Vacuum This is something that can add so much enrichment, especially in fantasy worlds. It takes a lot of energy, a lot of effort, to think about how the fantasy cultures might differ from our own, to figure out the external pressures on the characters and on societies as a whole, to figure out what it is that really drives them.

    Sex, war and boardrooms: Sheryl Sandberg as a modern day Lysistrata (or: Is Lysistrata on Facebook?)

    My earlier writing on Sheryl S and the Facebook board has led some to ask what would happen if all women would just leave when the conditions aren’t good. When I get that question, my thoughts go to Lysistrata. I explain that on my blog.

    Trayvon Martin’s shooting has galvanized the movement for civil rights and racial equality for African Americans in the United States. George Zimmerman has been accused of being a racist and targeting Trayvon Martin. But is George Martin really a murderer? I don’t think so. Here’s why: http://wp.me/p1FE65-47

    Why women in science don’t want to work at universities

    I wonder if those of you at universities think this sounds plausible.

    After the latest round of fuckery, I felt the need to commit to digital text a series of apparently radical propositions about trans people. Otherwise known as the bleedin’ obvious.

    It’s more frothy rage than anything else – I’ve been inspired by this guy. :D But there’s also some good links and a call for more.

    I’ve written an account of taking my pre-teen daughters to see The Hunger Games which other parents may find useful. I’ve tried to describe how what I thought was the worst of the violence was portrayed on screen, so that you can try it work out whether it’s suitable for any children you might want to take to the movie.

    Pinterest, Intention, and Making a Difference: Complications in Social Media Activism- The Belvedere Vodka ad makes me think about how some social media platforms may be better for activism than others.

    Hunger Games Debate: Is Reading Less Graphic than Viewing?- Some parents are letting their children read The Hunger Games, but not watch them for fear of too much violence.

    International Anti-Street Harassment Week- I look at my own experiences with street harassment and ponder on what it would take to make a change.

    Trayvon Martin and the Polarized View of Racism- Want to make someone (particularly a white person) angry? Call him/her a racist. Our very specific connotation of “racism” blinds us to the problems we all need to face.

    Livestock and Women: Some Reflections on Reproductive Politics- Whenever I think the reproductive politics can’t get any more frustrating, they do.

    At Planned Parenthood Advocates of Arizona’s blog, we posted about the 40th anniversary of Eisenstadt v. Baird, a Supreme Court decision that is no older than Mia Hamm, Dane Cook, and Shaquille O’Neal. Forty years ago last Thursday, it granted unmarried Americans access to contraceptives, such as birth control pills. In today’s political climate, with so many legislators seeking to limit access to contraception, this right is not something we can take for granted!

    Also, if you can be in Phoenix on Wednesday morning, please join us as we gather at the House of Representatives to put legislators on notice. Arizona is poised to pass some truly awful legislation, but with the help of activists across the state we can put the pressure on lawmakers. We’ve done it before!

    At Muslimah Media Watch last week:

    Tasnim wrote about the striking and beautiful work of Iraqi artist Hayv Kahraman, whose art looks at a number of issues related to politics and gender.

    Samya looked at recent protests by women at King Khalid University in Saudi Arabia, and the ways that media coverage of such protests has shifted.

    Azra talked about Sarabah, a powerful documentary about Senegalese hip hop artist Sister Fa, and her efforts to end Female Genital Cutting.

    We had a guest post by Chelby Marie Daigle, who reviewed Miroirs et Mirages, a novel by Canadian activist Monia Mazigh.

    It’s been a while since I’ve written anything relevant to SPSS…and now these are more than a week old, but hey, I’ve been out of internet range since I posted them.

    Anyways. I made a brief appeal to my Canadian readers to support Bill C-279, the bill that would grant legal protection from discrimination to trans people in Canada.

    Then I rambled about how H. P. Lovecraft, one of my favourite authors, turns out to have been a racist PoS and how I don’t really know how to deal with this.

    Letting Things Happen [note for victim blaming] — “I love to be doing…. I’m not so great at letting things happen to me.”

    Barefoot with My Shoes On: Nearly Naked — “And intellectually, I understood that they’d provide even less cushion than my already un-cushy running standards. Practically, though, I had no freaking clue about what it would mean.”

    Fatness & Fitness [diet/weight loss talk] — “It’s heartbreakingly validating to see a research doctor, let alone in a news article, acknowledge that losing body fat is difficult — maybe to the point of not being very achievable — for many people.”

    Overreacting [note for street harassment and victim blaming] — “Instantly, I was too aware of my lower cut tank top, my sweaty cleavage, my fitted yoga pants. In class, I hadn’t given them a second thought because they let me move as I wanted. Now, however, I pictured them as a liability.”

    I’m back to blogging after a brief hiatus to direct my school’s contest play. I talk about the play, and activism, in A Tiny Space.

    Inspired by F. Scott Fitzgerald’s list of things to worry about for his daughter, Scottie, I wrote my own list, for my students.

    And I also wrote a silly post about partnership and toothpaste.

    This week I wrote an angry post about a sexist joke a friend made and how he would not get that it was offensive: Sexist Jokes are not OK. Shortly after posting this I got a bunch of comments (which I haven’t bothered publishing because they were so obviously missing the point) on how I was very wrong and it was all my fault that I was offended. My favourite one included “but most people think sexism is fine because the genders are different!” and “you think everyone else believes the patriarchy exists – and that’s your problem, because they don’t.” *facepalm*

    I’m taking a computer science class this semester and I have a very high A grade so far. I just took the second exam of the term and wrapped up another big programming project this week, and I’m feeling great about both.

    This is huge for me, because when I just started my career, I was petrified of and intimidated by web development and software design – or anything related to it – so much so, that I dropped out of my post-bac adult learning program mid-semester. My experiences in this class are testimony to how far I’ve come in developing my skills and feeling comfortable in a challenging (and male-dominated) profession.

I usually post about my art or galleries I’ve seen so this is a bit of a departure for me but I thought it might be interesting to the Canadians out there.

    Strip for This is my personal blog about stripping, anarchism, feminism, sex, etc.

    In
    Fifteen-Year-Old Sex-Goddesses     I reminisce on the sex book my teenaged girlfriends and I studied in hopes of becoming great lays, all the while sleeping with really wack older boyfriends who couldn’t give us the great sex and emotional connection we were entitled to.

    In another post I report back on my first go-go dancing gig.

    A story of mine was published in the new, awesome, women-supporting lit journal Two Serious Ladies.

    Why women should be seen but not heard is an excellent blog posting on the misogyny aimed at female speakers and bloggers in my city including by those who represent them in government and their “staff” including our chief of police who verbally attacked several women at a recent meeting as “anti-police” and said he “hated” them. I’ve had derogatory and sexist cartoons and had entire blog postings labeling me a “tramp”.

    And now a male blogger who gets money from city officials running for office as shown by documentation on that posting and by doing so these candidates support misogyny. I was called a “tramp” and subjected to posts calling me a “bitch” who needed to be “got rid of” when I brought up this financial relationship.

    In the recent blow-up about KONY, Teju Cole wrote about the White Savior Industrial Complex. I talk about the flip-side of this, which I call “Suffering Porn” in my piece: http://fuzzytheory.wordpress.com/2012/03/25/suffering-porn-the-flip-side-of-the-white-savior-industrial-complex/
