Iv'e tried to take them seriously in the past, but almost every article came(and comes) with pet elephants. On rare occasions do I find something good or valid but emphasis on the rare as it is not a women's rights site but a feminist tossed salad...

Anti-Feminist Victim Blamer in my own backyard

And this weeks edition... What We Missed



Congresswoman Gabby Giffords officially resigned today. Her friend, DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, paid tribute to her, and read a letter on her behalf.

(enough already with this if it was a male congressman few would have batted an eye)
Today is the first ever Gay Straight Alliance Day!

(yay?)
An Arkansas newspaper has refused to publish the announcement of a gay couple’s commitment ceremony in their weddings section.

(too bad :C )
Watch as Viola Davis explains just how hard it is to find parts as a forty-six year-old black woman in Hollywood – to a few people who get it and one who really doesn’t.

(should have chosen a better profession)
Women directed only 5% of 2011’s highest-grossing movies.

(How many female directors are there total? How many actually make a good movie?)
Watch the Media Education Foundation’s Sut Jhally’s MLK Day address, “Why American can’t think straight about race (even with a black president).”

(What does this have to do with feminism... Also most people are not racist but just don't agree with policies!)
A new Australian program aims to create employment opportunities for people with disabilities.

(missed the mark again)

I was disappointed with their posting of Jessica's Anderson appearance, after I found the articles about the child bride saver and the death of the activist. My point being that for a blog that fawns over women's rights and human rights, they miss out on lots of news stories right up their alley*. And from what I've seen, they very much ignore child marriage. Just google "feministing child marriage", only one article.

*And Jessica's TV appearance can afford to take a temporary backseat for a day.

Speaking of the devil

Feministing!!? "Shakes head in frustration"

I'd rather live in a zoo than let any feministing fool save me.
