Lazy vicious marginalisation from Vagenda at New Statesman

Lazy vicious marginalisation from Vagenda at New Statesman

By tigtog on October 24, 2012

My feminism will be intersectional or it will be bullshit.
~ Flavia Dzodan, on Tiger Beatdown 2011/10/10

Are you noting a distinct lack of attribution there from Vagenda, for an ‘oft-quoted phrase’ which is easily googled as to its source?

As if that wasn’t bad enough, here’s what happened next:

Quickhit: Gay Girl in Damascus Amina Arraf is a pseudonym for American Tom MacMaster

Quickhit: Gay Girl in Damascus Amina Arraf is a pseudonym for American Tom MacMaster

By tigtog on June 13, 2011

Now the regime is going to be able to cast everything MacMaster wrote about what was happening in Syria as pure fiction, and real people who trusted Arraf have been endangered.

Intersectionality and Privilege: Addressing the Squishy Bits

Intersectionality and Privilege: Addressing the Squishy Bits

By Beppie on October 6, 2010

Not all questions have clear answers. Sometimes, there is no “right” answer. Sometimes, every “right” answer carries a little bit of wrong in it too. This is especially true when we take a feminist approach informed by intersectionality; a feminism informed by the knowledge that privilege operates in a multitude of ways, that different types [...]

Not your punchline, Amanda Palmer.

By Lauredhel on March 2, 2010

If you missed this week’s Good News Week, or couldn’t see it because you’re not in Australia, here are the “disabled feminists” sledges aimed at FWD/Forward from Amanda Palmer, Des Bishop, and Paul McDermott. The ones we’ve been talking about in Otterday. * (Edited to add: For those who don’t already know, the conjoined twins [...]

Quick Hit: Maybe it’s her fault for having a shower?

By Mindy on March 2, 2010

The photo of a young Lara Bingle which has apparently been doing the rounds of the cricket and AFL players for some time now has been published in the Woman’s Day magazine. Woman’s Day say they did not pay for the image.  If you haven’t seen it, it is a head and shoulders shot of [...]

Quickhit: Icedancers with a new twist on blackface.

By Lauredhel on January 23, 2010

Via baby_elvis, this ice-dancing routine. From the news: Russian world ice-skating champions Oksana Domnina and Maxim Shabalin have danced around the controversy surrounding their Aboriginal-themed routine, insisting they will still use it at the Winter Olympics. Aboriginal elders say the pair’s two-and-a-half minute routine causes serious cultural offence. But Domnina and Shabalin, favourites to win [...]

Racist artwork from Marcotte’s Seal Press book “It’s a Jungle Out There”

By Lauredhel on April 25, 2008

Some artwork from Amanda Marcotte’s book “It’s A Jungle Out There”, published by Seal Press, is now online at Dear White Feminists. I wrote about Seal Press a short while ago, here, and y’all know about the current AM/appropriation conversation going on everywhere in the femiblogosophere and RWOCosphere. This is blatantly, indefensibly racist. This is [...]

“Just because you can see it, doesn’t mean it’s yours.”: the political misappropriation of personal pain

By Lauredhel on February 21, 2008

Regular readers may have noticed that I have a tendency to start serieses that I don’t finish. Well, I’ve finally got a second installment in 52 Acts of Political Correctness. The original 52something meme is here – do feel free to join in! ~~~ The Ethics of Personal Stories Today’s thesis: just because you can [...]
