Weekend reads: part 1
NS May 29th, 2009
Some items of interest I’ve come across this week:
Gay male elected prom queen at Los Angeles high school
Hot pink is in but if you’re a dude you’d better call it ‘Mangenta” or risk your macho cred
G. Gordon Liddy makes petty period joke about Sonia Sotomayor, the new Supreme Court nominee. You know the GOP is scared when it resorts to “Oh my god, girls BLEED!”
A man at The New York Times enlightens women as to why they’re unhappy. Hint: it starts with “lib” and ends in “eration.”
Thoughts on motherhood and feminism from a GrandMOM.
Thoughts on breastfeeding, sexism and feminism from Molly at Feminist Childbirth Studies.
New York passes a bill making it illegal to chain a female prisoner while she is in labour and giving birth. Someone finally grew a conscience. Congratulations, nameless politicians! You’re now one step further away from rotting in hell.
Moving video about the heinous decision to allow the ban on gay marriage to stand in California. My three hankie moment of the week.
