There is a horrendously trollsome article up on internet man cave Thrillist right now detailing all the reasons why girls hate HBO’s award winning fantasy program Game Of Thrones. According to the ostensibly female writer, women hate Game Of Thrones because it’s got incest on it, it’s too complicated for our lady brains to follow, it is nerdy, it is full of naked women, and you have to watch men get their extremities cut off. Oh dear. More

Huh, is feminism making you fat? Some people continue to think so. Over at Jezebel, Katie Baker notes: More

Grimes is pretty much the best. Through a combination of technical wizardry, obsessive perfectionism, vocal prowess, and pop sensibility, she makes music that feels like having your dancing muscles lovingly prodded by Korean computer ghosts from the nineties. She’s also an accomplished artist and jewelry designer with a great sense of style. But in case you needed another reason to love her, she’s also an outspoken feminist who is not afraid to call out the indie music world for sexism, despite the fact that it has granted her a livelihood.

According to Amnesty International, a critically ill woman in El Salvador could go to jail if she gets an abortion to save her life. The woman, known as Beatriz, is experiencing health problems stemming from the pregnancy related to her kidney disease and lupus. Despite the fact that the hospital treating her requested legal permission from the government for Beatriz to abort months ago (she is now four and a half months pregnant) none has been granted. More
I’ve always considered myself a feminist. It surprises me that lately I seem to be in a minority.
We heard a while ago about how Beyonce considers herself a “modern day feminist” (she said we needed a new word for it) and Taylor Swift really doesn’t even want you to suggest she’s a feminist. When I was making a list of celebrities who do identify as feminists it… kind of took a while. More
Look, moist is a great word. You have got to stop recoiling and talking about how gross it is. Dead serious. Really. Not just because you sound silly. You do sound silly, but it’s because people need to stop finding any kind of female arousal revolting. More
I can think of a lot of “worst things you can say to a woman.” Mostly, telling them to smile. Every woman hates that. However, I haven’t considered this as a seriously as The Daily Mail who has a list of the worst things you can possibly say to a woman. They report:
Asking a woman ‘when’s the baby due?’ when she is not actually pregnant has been voted the worst thing a man can say to a lady – according to a new poll. More

Normally a professor saying that classes shouldn’t be held so early is a reason to celebrate, but not when it’s because he says his female students need to have more time to get all pretty and feminine. More
There’s been a lot of discussion as of late about Sheryl Sandberg‘s bourgeois and somewhat apolitical version of feminism, Lean In. It seems like everywhere I look, the feminist discourse has been taken over by discussions of the ways in which women hold themselves back at work, how we need more women at the top, why Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer won’t call herself a feminist, etc. As a feminist with some serious socialist leanings, I am mildly annoyed by this, but I’m also kind of happy, because it gives me a chance to discuss how and why feminism must go beyond talking about how the most privileged women should be allowed to self-actualize at the highest levels possible, to the issues that concern that vast majority of the female workforce.

When Beyonce told British Vogue she was a “modern day feminist” I initially thought, “There’s really only one kind of feminism.” Now I realize there can be a ton! What’s your favorite kind of feminism? You should pick it as you would a favorite kind of shoes. More
