– Is True Grit’s Mattie Ross NOT a Feminist Character? » Sociological Images
I am one of these people who believes a GREAT DEAL of the problem is the valuing masculinity over femininity (it’s THE crux of Feminism 4.0). It’s funny to see how qualified this statement is, as if femininity is...

sexual culture at the birth of feminism →
watching them produced flashbacks of what it was like to grow up in that era: wanting men, wanting them to like you, wanting them to want you, but at the same time having to fend them off on a daily basis, the frustration of having your strengths ignored while being valued for your sexual potential
… Once we discovered we had rights, that we didn’t have to put up with this shit, yes, we...

Feel.Good.: Family or Career? →
In the eighties and nineties there existed a sad idea- that women have to choose. Choose what? Choose anything. The idea still exists today. Somehow it’s become lame for women to want marriage and babies, and cool to follow their dream career. Family, career, family, career. How does one choose?

I am a woman
Work doesn’t fulfill me.
Domesticity doesn’t fulfill me.
A man doesn’t fulfill me.
Children don’t fulfill me.
Art doesn’t fulfill me.
I need to be happy all the time, in the way that my heart wants at the moment. It’s not a set thing, it’s everything. It’s not possible to have everything- but it is possible to have anything. :)

Birth of an Independent Woman →
The DVD discussion focuses on the environment for women in the late 1950s and early 1960s, and how those factors led to the founding of the women’s movement. The conversation also shows how little the messaging around the ideas of a woman’s hopes and desires has not changed.

New Moon in Cancer →
irinakatz:
This is a great New Moon to investigate the Sacred Feminine and incorporate this wisdom into your daily life and by extension, into our world. The Way of the Sacred Feminine is one of love, caring, understanding, compassion, peace and joy. Our world suffers from a lack of Her presence and Her values in our governmental, educational, business and religious institutions. It is of course...

a letter from a fan
Dear Jenn and Irina, I am writing to commend you on ushering in a bold new world for feminism and also to ask for some advice. In episode 1.0, you referred to Feminism 4.0 as being a broader feminism – one that both sexes could espouse. My girlfriend hopes to bring more sensuality into my life and I imagine the type of feminism you described in this first episode would support such an effort....
