Feministing on Tour!

“Unlike the ‘Hers’ sections of yore–women’s magazines, or even Ms. Magazine–Feministing is not shaped by the fear of being offensive or ‘unrelatable’ for ‘the average female reader’…it is head and shoulders above almost any writing on women’s issues in mainstream media.”

–Columbia Journalism Review

The editors of Feministing will be hitting the road this fall for a five year anniversary tour of college campuses, women’s organizations, and BBQ joints. The keynote panel, guaranteed to feature at least three out of the six award-winning editors, will cover a range of hot topics, followed by a lengthy Q&A.
Questions we’ll be posing to one another and to the audience include:

• How is the failing economy changing gender roles?
• What’s up with the sexual climate on college campuses? Is hooking up really tantamount to sexual liberation?
• Is there such a thing as “women’s issues” anymore?
• Why can’t an older generation seem to embrace intersectional feminism?
• How can we heal intergenerational and interracial tensions after the contentious 2008 presidential election?
• Is feminism today still a bonafide movement? If so, where’s the “moving?”

We’re excited to interact, so we hope hosts will see our visits as a chance to really explore the present and future of the feminist movement. We’ve got some ideas, and we know you do, so let’s talk about them.
We’d also be happy to do workshops on blogging for community groups during the day. Feministing sees spreading the word about the activist potential of blogging and educating people about the tools to make it happen as central to our mission. Added bonus: We’ll blog along the way, bringing nationwide attention to the work of your center and/or campus.
