Beauty Standards: womanism
http://womanism.livejournal.com/2102.html
Nezumis Art Journal (. I hear a lot of complaining about how modern beauty standards are bad for women, and the ill effects they have. Anorexia, unnecessary and sometimes dangerous surgeries and treatments, demeaning and sometimes painful clothing, and on and on. This, I feel, is unfair. It denies the very real, and very insidious, power advertising can have, and more importantly provides an easy excuse to those doing the harm to ditch their responsibility in the matter. Sure, that's a silly little thing...

Accomplishemnts of Third-Wave Feminism: womanism
http://womanism.livejournal.com/3385.html
Nezumis Art Journal (. Accomplishemnts of Third-Wave Feminism. I'm a bit curious about something, and I admit my ignorance right off the top. But I think it's worth asking all the same. But looking at these things, I note that most, if not all, the benefits of feminism that get pointed out are benefits brought by first and second wave feminists. So what I'm wondering is, what are the accomplishments, in real-world terms and not simply "advances in theory". Can anyone enlighten me? Post a new comment.

Pigtails and Gender Roles: Discussion?: womanism
http://womanism.livejournal.com/3996.html
Guys Like Me, Aimee Mann. Pigtails and Gender Roles: Discussion? I can never think of anything explicity feminism-related to post about lately, and no one's posted for awhile, so I thought I'd posit a question: what do you think the general reaction would be towards a guy who wears his hair in pigtails? What do you guys think? Any possibility for discussion on how this relates to stereotypical images of gender? Post a new comment. We will log you in after post. We will log you in after post.

Sunday school teacher dumped for being female. Http:/ www.cnn.com/2006/US/08/21/menonly.s. WATERTOWN, New York (AP) - The minister of a church that dismissed a female Sunday School teacher after adopting what it called a literal interpretation of the Bible says a woman can perform any job - outside of the church. The letter quoted the first epistle to Timothy: "I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent.". If what's said in that letter reflects the councilman's v...

Excerpt from "Woman's Inhumanity to Woman" by Phyllis Chesler: womanism
http://womanism.livejournal.com/2590.html
Ive Tried So Hard to Be Immortal (. Ive Tried So Hard to Be Immortal. Excerpt from "Woman's Inhumanity to Woman" by Phyllis Chesler. But before I type the excerpt, has anyone read Women and Madness. Is it as awesome as I keep hearing it is? In most ways, feminists were. Let me share some hard-won perspectives. People in other movements have not done so. Third, as we have seen, men routinely compete with, steal from, shoot, and kill each other. Most women are aggressive, but not in this way but in ind...

Food for Thought: womanism
http://womanism.livejournal.com/3250.html
ES Posthumus - Antissa. Just a matter of opinion. Why do you think feminism elicits such a strong reaction in people- on either the pro- or anti- "side"? There are plenty of people who would respond to this by saying "oh, I really don't care THAT much." but really, the fight for women's rights and plausibility or the absurdity of is quite a hot-button issue. Why are so many strawmen constructed, so much slander produced just to deface feminists if it's "not a big deal"? Post a new comment.

Hungary's oft-overlooked domestic violence problem / Ugandan woman seeks asylum. Hungary law fails rape victims. Hungary law 'fails rape victims'. The report says victims face widespread prejudice. Thousands of rape victims in Hungary are being denied justice, the human rights organisation Amnesty International has said. An Amnesty report says that in two-thirds of cases the victim knows the attacker, yet few come to court. Rape within marriage has been a crime in Hungary for the last 10 years. But the r...

http://womanism.livejournal.com/3012.html
What makes a strong woman? The gender stereotype is that men are strong, and embody strong characteristics physically and mentally, while women are weak, interferer, and in need of constant assistance. Feminism is the belief in the social, political, and economic equality of the sexes. This is where I get confused. How can a woman be socially strong AS a woman? Well, he’s got a penis he must be right. But recently, I guess I’ve really come to question that choice. Are men really all that better? We will ...
