Oh look a good idea on YouTube. TALK is a discussion based channel that Bing is curating. I’ll be on next week talking about Public Broadcasting. Check it out yo.
This looks pretty cool but I really hope it’s going to be more than just a bunch of white cishet dudes talking about their opinions, because we already have like 97% of (popular) YouTube for that.
I’ve subscribed anyway. Prove me wrong TALK.
PLEASE PROVE ME WRONG.
Pop music & the hatred of women
Jenn talks about how white artists (and genres seen as ‘white’) escape criticism for their misogynistic lyrics and how ‘art’ is not an excuse for dismembering women in your music videos.

Make-up: expression or cover-up?
Becca talks about make-up whilst putting it on her face (and then taking it off.)
Let’s reclaim make-up as something fun and playful, not a cover-up used to shame women into hiding.

A wild TOPIC ANNOUNCEMENT appears! TOPIC ANNOUNCEMENT uses POSTING BEFORE MIDNIGHT. It’s super effective!
THIS WEEK: We’ll be slapping our best faces on to talk make-up as planned, however…
NEXT WEEK: We’ve switched things around to talk about ‘prude’-shaming, because the date of our Grande Televisual Début has changed.
Our episode of Cherry Healey: How to Get a Life will now be on BBC3 at 9pm on 4th July (BST?), so if you haven’t joined the event yet DO IT NOW!
Which means…
THE WEEK AFTER: We’ll be chatting body positive movements, whilst simultaneously celebrating/panicking about getting our own bodies on TV.
So there you have it, as ever if you’d like to talk about these topics (or any other topic) in a guest video let us know! - Becca x
[First image is of a young white feminine face with lots of different types of make-up samples on it, and is taken from The Guardian.
Second image is of ThosePeskyDames very own Jenn, a young white woman with red hair and sunglasses on, holding a cardboard protest sign reading “This virgin/whore dichotomy is getting pretty fucking old.” Photo was taken at Slutwalk London 2011.
Third image is an illustration showing a line up of thirteen women all of different shapes, sizes and ethnicities. A caption above the line up reads “beauty” and a caption below reads “in every shape and size”. Image was drawn by vonnie-seiyuki-chan on DeviantArt.]
Holly gets class-y
No, really, stop using the term ‘classy’, it’s really horrid and classist. I mean it. Yes, I know I just used it in the title but I was being ironic. Yeah. Smooth.
This was really difficult for me to make, so please forgive it being a bit choppy. Let’s talk more, yeah?
(I wasn’t here when this got uploaded, but it’s been pointed out that no-one blogged it. So here, go watch now because it’s important stuff! - Becca)
