Slightly late, but today was International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia so here’s Subi talking about the importance of intersectional feminism for LGBTQIA people (filmed last International Coming Out Day)

My Hairy Dilemma | GUEST VLOG

New guest video! Gen re-evaluates her thoughts on body hair in response to Emer O’Toole’s hairy pitted talk show appearance, and the comments that surrounded it.

“Apparently it’s now considered extremely bad form, let alone completely unfeminine to have body hair. What a travesty! Apart from the fact that I think we need to re-prioritise our media “news”, it made me question my choices and why I do what I do.

I hope my video motivates others to do the same, whether they continue on as usual or change what they do - please question your decisions every so often. Too many of us find ourselves trapped by our own choices, far too late in life.”

Awesome video on how to be a teenage feminist from Sophie of Over17Mirrors.

In a climate where we are constantly warned about a ‘clash of civilisations’ and the West’s state of perpetual war with Muslim countries, there is a fundamental need to dehumanise the ‘enemy’. The overemphasis on the Muslim man’s perceived misogyny overshadows the complete lack of scrutiny of the West’s oppression against Muslim women. Femen’s reliance on the overused media tropes of the modern western values versus traditional Muslim values is creating a dichotomous representation of the ‘self’ (West) and ‘other’ (Muslims).

 I’ve created these flyers for a school activist project where I bring more attention to the women in history that have been forgotten or ignored. This blog will be an extension of those flyers where I post longer biographies of these women and other bad-ass women like them. Too often women’s achievements have been pushed aside, either by others in their lives, or else by the historians who choose to ignore them. This tumblr is dedicated to celebrating them and bringing their achievements to light!

Following Jenn’s video about FEMEN, Islam, and racism here’s some more great links to further the conversation:

Anger, allies and being nice

Subi returns with a husky voice and a lot of rage (yelling some more probably isn’t helping the voice, but definitely therapeutic for the rage).

Femen, Islam, and Racism

I asked for topic suggestions and you guys suggested Femen and racism, so here we go - this video is about how Femen perpetuate racist and Islamophobic narratives. Thanks specifically to Georgia and Becca for the suggestions. As always if I’ve overstepped myself in this video/said anything offensive or incorrect or privileged then please let me know.
