Feminist Blog of Note: Feministing
I’ve recently been checking out some other feminist and woman-centered blogs, and among my favorites is Feministing. Its mission is that “Young women are rarely given the opportunity to speak on their own behalf on issues that affect their lives and futures. Feministing provides a platform for us to comment, analyze and influence.” Contributors draw our attention to items in the media that directly affect women. It’s great to read writing by women, for women, about things that other media outlets tend to leave out.
Recent posts have highlighted what some folks have done to get rid of horror movie ads that depict violence against women; a woman who runs an organization in New York City that teaches oral journalism to young people; and the Harry Potter star Emma Watson, who calls herself a feminist. It’s updated daily with lots of juicy goodness, and the comments that follow posts add rather than detract to the main story (unlike on many other blogs). Well, just go there for yourself and see! http://www.feministing.com/
