I organized this hate crimes event because I’m a mom
Cross-posted from The Sin City Siren: Are you ready for the NOH8 in Las Vegas hate crimes event? I can’t believe it’s almost here! You can still RSVP here. And all this planning has me thinking about the first time I organized an event for Erin Davies and her “fag bug.” I spent most of […]
TMF: Holiday Rant
December 17, 2012
Welcome to the final stretch of the holiday season. If you’ve procrastinated your holiday shopping, check out the Feminist Parent’s Gift Guide here. But for those of us who’ve already braved the big-box stores (or who only have big-box stores as an option because everything else closed down in the recession), you’ve no doubt realized […]
TMF: Mamas got the magic at the Olympics
August 7, 2012
The 2012 Olympics in London have been heralded as a win for feminism in many ways — some calling it the Title IX games even. And there’s a lot to celebrate for women in these games. But as the old poem says, we have miles to go before we sleep. If you’ve watched any part […]
This International Women’s Day, let’s connect and inspire girls!
March 8, 2012
Happy International Women’s Day! What, you didn’t know it was International Women’s Day? Wait, you did know that March is Women’s History Month, right? Okay, okay. Maybe International Women’s Day is not at the top of your annual holiday calendar. But there’s good reason to be thinking about this 101-year-old tradition. So what is IWD? […]
TMF: Different rules for girls
March 2, 2012
Let’s take a look at a couple of toddler shirts I found on a recent shopping trip to Old Navy for this installment of TMF: Tired Marketing FAIL! First we have a shirt in the boys section: Then we have a shirt from the girl’s section: Notice anything? I mean, besides the pink and blue […]
TMF: Girl Power!
February 9, 2012
Just a quick TMF: Tired Marketing FAIL! today… I snapped this pic as I was walking past the girl’s department at a major big-box store. I think it’s rather awesome (all unintentional Charlie Sheen references aside):
Slut-shaming is wrong: This 13-year-old has it figured out
January 12, 2012
How awesome is this 13-year-old girl with her vlog about why slut-shaming is wrong. (Answer: “It’s part of a rape culture… [that says] it’s okay to rape sluts because they were ‘asking for it.’”) How about this sex-positive, shame-free directive: It is nobody’s business but your own how many people you’re having sex with or […]
Out with the old, in with the new
January 10, 2012
Hey there, Tired Feminist fans. I’m glad you’ve hung in there and patiently waited for some new posts. I apologize for being a bit negligent. It seems my baby decided that the spoils of daycare should be at least one illness a week that pretty much brings the entire house to a grinding halt. Perhaps […]
Domestic Goddess
December 5, 2011
So, I’ve been ruminating on the domestic sphere ever since I read my Fem2.0 colleague Maggie Arden’s piece about the intersection of the domesticity craze — think Etsy, Stitch-n-Bitch circles, and subversive cupcakes — and feminism. In truth, I didn’t really want to write about this stuff, because it feels like deja vu all over […]
TMF: A working witch
April 25, 2011
I am jumping in a little late on this, but have you seen the book My Working Mom by Peter Glassman? This 10-year-old children’s book is basically a story about how some moms work outside the home. But what is the career path of this working mom? She’s a witch! Something tells me Glassman isn’t […]
