Favorite Feminist Hangouts?

Do you have a Feminist Bookstore you really love? Or a cafe that’s ideal for sipping coffee and planning a protest? Maybe there’s a great advocacy center in a town near you. I’d love to find out where more pro-women public spaces are – so offer up your suggestions here!

I am particularly interested in places in the D.C. region, as I will be moving there in 2 short weeks and I’d really like to get to know the area. But in the spirit of the community, I thought we could share some feminist haunts from all over!

So, where would you spend your free time?

Yes, we still have to call out sexism against Marissa Mayer

The news that former Google executive Marissa Mayer had been appointed President and CEO of Yahoo – just a few days before announcing her pregnancy – was met with feminist glee back in July. But the honeymoon between Mayer and feminists is long over, following revelations that Mayer doesn’t particularly care for feminism, nor does she fully understand how her actions could have wide ramifications for working moms or promote the kinds of policies that have long been considered the most family-friendly and, by extension, feminist.
