NY Times Highlights Aging Feminists’ Anxiety Over Abortion, Newsbusters

Feminists are in meltdown about the future of abortion. Ironic that they’re losing support because younger generations are more pro-life. When you kill your offspring, you can’t instill your values into the next generation. Conservatives may win simply because we like kids and the numbers are on our side.

From a Young Woman to (Some) of the Menopausal Militia, RHRealityCheck.com

It seems the protest for the Stupak amendment didn’t go so well yesterday, and feminists are bickering at each other in response to the article mentioned above.  Hehe! Keep it up ladies.

Ehrenrich: The Pink-Ribbon Breast Cancer Cult, Alternet

Ehrenrich complains that feminism has been replaced by breast cancer awareness and the focus has shifted away from abortion. I would say that the pink-washing of feminism is the only thing that’s kept it in the news for the past decade. If people knew the truth behind it, no one would follow it.

Taylor Swift: Pop princess, feminist villan? Salon

Seriously? First it was Palin, then it was Twilight. Now Taylor Swift is the catching the ire of feminists. Can’t a young woman just write about what she wants? How many 19-year-olds have the talent to write songs? At 19, did you sit around pondering deep issues of society?  Do all female artists have to be Melissa Ethridge or the Indigo Girls? Sheesh.

Patience Is a (Feminist) Virtue, The Sexist, Washington City Paper

It’s strange that by pursuing traditional roles and values, I’m now counter-cultural. I need a “Proud Supporter of the Patriarchy” t-shirt.

Ms. Pac-Man: Post Feminist Icon, Moving Pixels

A satirical view of the popular 80s arcade game within the realm of feminism. Entertaining, but it makes me wish that I had one. I loved Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man. Classic gaming is very in right now.

Where’s My Post-Feminist Manifesto, The Cornell Daily Sun

Another funny editorial about the dismal state of feminism. I like these. Keep them coming.

Duke University Digital Collection, Vintage Ads

Absolutely nothing to do with feminism, but I’m looking for vintage ads to use as artwork in my apartment. The ads are organized by year and subject. Very cool. Also helps fulfill Mad Men withdrawal.
