I’m back to regular blogging this week!

I kicked things off with a discussion about teens and enthusiastic consent, moved on to intersectionality, and then a PSA that Texas is running to remind me I’m just a baby vessel.

I’m incredibly busy this week and last, but I got a bit of writing in:

Me on women’s worth as being directly proportional to their fuckability factor to your average Joe:

And I review Valenti’s “Why Have Kids?” and Kinzel’s “Two Whole Cakes.”

Last Sunday I had food poisoning, which made me ponder about how society values thinness over health.

I also wrote a little bit about the male opinions I encountered this week.

This week I wrote about…

sexy Halloween costumes and slut shaming;

and why I personally care about National Domestic Violence Awareness month.

This week I wrote about lady friendships and growing up…

A very sad and disturbing story of teen pregnancy in our sex negative world.

And being viewed as a person vessel instead of a person

This week I wrote about…

how “Eat This, Not That” tried to capitalize on Lady Gaga’s weight gain news…

the old “all that matters is that you vote” thing…

and when dudes tell me to just take a “joke.”

I wrote a bit about Yahoo’s sexist tendencies, my endless love of Leslie Knope, and being viewed as continually pre-pregnant.

This week I wrote a little bit about how one person turned Nicki Minaj’s Mitt Romney non-endorsement into a time to shame the singer’s body:

I also reviewed three of NBC’s new shows:

I also covered Lana Del Rey’s GQ photo shoot:

This week, I wrote a bit about Lady Gaga and disingenuous Ann Romney.

I also spent a moment speculating about “Fat Amy” in the Pitch Perfect movie trailer.

This week I wrote about

…the motivations behind narrowly defining rape: http://www.nerdyfeminist.com/2012/08/why-narrowly-define-rape-hint-rape.html

…when “thin is in” http://www.nerdyfeminist.com/2012/08/when-thin-is-in.html

…and the dumb dad stereotype http://www.nerdyfeminist.com/2012/08/dumb-dads.html

In addition to my usual blogging this week, I started a new project on Tumblr called: Sexism! As Seen on Facebook (www.facebooksexism.tumblr.com). If you want to learn more about it, you can here: http://www.nerdyfeminist.com/2012/08/announcing-sexism-as-seen-on-facebook.html Please follow it on Tumblr, submit, and share! I also wrote about: The wrong idea of equality… http://www.nerdyfeminist.com/2012/08/the-wrong-idea-of-equality.html Breaking Bad, power, [...]

I don’t think much of the criticism is focused on thinking it’s degrading to preform oral sex, it’s about how S.E. did NOT consent to this situation. This isn’t a picture of a woman partaking in a sexual activity. This is an image created without her knowledge, specifically designed to demean her. It’s not sex [...]

I totally agree w/ you, Zerlina. This is truly disgusting and highly offensive. But it’s really frustrating because S.E. is denying that we’re standing up for her. She’s ignoring us. For example, she said, “It seems that feminism has devolved into an institution that has picked losers and winners and has decided that some women [...]

I completely agree and came here to make a commnent to that effect, but you’ve said it better than I could. This is directly why I don’t partake in Boy Scout fundraisers (where they try to sell me popcorn.) That organization does NOT reflect my values…I’d much rather give my money to the Girl Scouts, [...]

This week I wrote about:

1) The rally in our last effort to stop Gov. Perry’s decision to cut healthcare from 130,000 poor women.

2) Twitter misogyny.

And…
3) Community’s comeback.

Hi Veronica, I totally agree w/ you and I’ve written a bit about the tendency to call thin women bitches here: http://www.nerdyfeminist.com/2011/06/skinny-bitch.html I stand w/ your assertion that you are a real woman and that fat women should quit shaming thin bodies, just as much as vice versa. However, where you lose me is in [...]

I wrote a follow up to my last piece about my girl hate issues w/ Zooey Deschanel and the whole MPDG thing:
http://www.nerdyfeminist.com/2011/10/im-in-love-and-it-aint-with-manic-pixie.html

I also wrote about the importance of being a bit selfish as women:

I definitely agree with your point about the sandwich, but as for the bodily functions thing, I just saw that as her getting hit with the food poisoning first…everyone else’s bodily functions went out of control after that as well.

Congrats to your daughter! I’ve been with nonprofits specializing in girls services for 6 years now and I think New Moon is a rare, wonderful magazine for girls.
