So long, and thanks for all the feminism

I first came upon Feministing in early 2008, four years after its founding. By then, it was already a go-to, must-read feminist blog, one of the first big ones of its kind – and, as a college junior, I was oblivious to its existence.

Today is Black women’s Equal Pay Day

Because Black women earn 64 percent of what white men earn for doing the same work, it would take the average Black woman an extra seven months of work to earn what a white man in their job earns in a year. Today is the day she hits that number.

An interview with #BlackLivesMatter co-founder Patrisse Cullors

As you probably heard, the #BlackRightsMatter movement staged a protest at last week’s Netroots Nation conference. During an interview of Democratic presidential hopeful Martin O’Malley by activist Jose Antonio Vargas, two women took the stage: Patrisse Cullors, one of the founders of #BlackLivesMatter, and Tia Oso, an immigration rights activist.

Nicely done, Nashville: Sexist anti-drunk driving campaign pulled

Tennessee’s most recent effort to prevent drunk driving was laugh-out-loud sexist. The Booze It And Lose It campaign, paid for with a federal grant and run by the Governor’s Highway Safety Office, was aimed at young men — the people most likely to drive drunk — and chose sexism as a method for driving home the message that drinking impairs your judgement.

It’s about damn time to #BeBoldEndHyde

Three Congresswomen announced today that they’re introducing a bill designed to circumvent the discriminatory Hyde Amendment, the policy which has prevented the use of federal funds — like Medicaid — to pay for abortions, with very few exceptions, for almost 40 years.

Confessions of a Bad Feminist: Roxane Gay’s don’t-miss TED Talk

“We demand perfection from feminists because we are still fighting for so much, we want so much, we need so damn much. We go far beyond reasonable constructive criticism to dissecting any given woman’s feminism, tearing it apart until there’s nothing left.”

Emma Sulkowicz isn’t alone

When Emma Sulkowicz launched her highly visible protest art about Columbia’s handling of her sexual assault allegations, no one imagined she was the only person whose case had been mishandled by the university. In fact, dozens of women have now filed complaints against the school.
