According to France, biggest threats to public safety are Muslim women

The articles below describe the Islamophobic atmosphere in France, which makes Muslim women feel alienated and want to leave.

The New York Times Women’s eNews The French Government supposedly banned hijabs, burqas and other religious head coverings out of safety concerns. Because, you know, there are such high rates of Muslim women running around committing crimes. In fact, Muslim women are the most dangerous group of people in the world, responsible for physically and or sexually assaulting one in three women worldwide. Oh, wait! That’s actually men. Men are the most dangerous group of people, responsible for over 90% of the assaults that happen every day, including every nine seconds in America alone. If the French government actually cared about the safety of its people, it would look into the toxic patriarchal culture, which tells men they must be violent to be masculine.*  Instead, they are focusing on a made-up problem to excuse their racism and sexism. *Most men are not violent, but violent men, especially rapists, will have multiple victims.

What’s Your Feminist Tree? Giving thanks to your feminist roots and spreading your feminist branches: #myfem2tree Tweetchat Thu, Oct 16, 1pm EST

Who inspired your feminism? Was it your grandmother who awakened you to the inequalities women and girls face? Was it your mom who led by example? Perhaps a teacher who grew into a mentor? Maybe it was the work of an author you never met, like Bell Hooks’s Feminism is for everyone. Maybe it was more recent, like the speech from Emma Watson, who urged both women and men to reclaim the other f-word and take on the battle for gender equality.

Give her – or him, or them, or it – some proper thanks during our #myfem2tree tweetchat on Thursday, October 16, 2014, 1pm EST – 2pm EST. We want to know where your feminist roots began: whether from a person, book, or organization. And we also want to know how you plan to spread ...

National Organization for Women (NOW) key organizer in Unite Women marches nationwide

Many of us in the Third Wave shy away from joining any organization – even a feminist one.  However, there is definitely strength in numbers and advantages to being part of a group with nationwide reach, extensive history and brand power.

Action Alert: Enfranchise Hunter College’s Women and Gender Studies Program

Many feminists owe major thanks to Women’s Studies classes and teachers for our feminist awakenings and activist paths.  Although I began my activist life at the age of nine, it was the Hunter College Women and Gender Studies (WGS) Program’s annual V-Day events that helped me enter activism in America.  After the sexual assault of someone close, I needed an outlet to channel the anger and trauma I experienced; V-Day was the perfect fit.  I was involved with V-Day Hunter in some capacity from 2007 until 2010 – even after my graduation.

Quite a few Hunter students – after being moved by the V-Day performances – disclosed their assault to the world by standing up at the end of ...
