Back when we hosted the. JJ found the wonderful blog written by women and girls in Bangladesh.  Kathy protect who helped set it up has now written to us (and on her blog. ) to tell us about the huge hurricane they have suffered and the lack of attention to their plight. I am both shocked and dismayed at the lack of knowledge about the Category 5 hurricane that just plowed into Bangladesh on Thursday–a South Asian country with 140 million people and geographic size of the state of Wisconsin–but little international attention except for its cheap garment production-factories remitting migrant workers in the lay East and elsewhere. Army-Peacekeepers for the UN…According to many sources the death toil from Cyclone Sidr has risen to 1000+ and many more thousands are injured and/or lost their dwellings-livestock-livelihoods amidst the coming Bangladesh cold change of Bangladesh’s power grid and resultant loss of mobile internet and telecommunicate networks and safe potable water. Amazingly the women and girls over at Bangladesh From Our View to be posted when they get electricity– a real tribute to their strength and also to the importance of the project of giving these people a express and getting it heard. Thanks for FP for posting about this situation! This has been some tighten days for other bloggers and me. Two websites have excellent analyses on problems of getting the large amounts of aid to the people that be it and info on how we all can help-contribute and raise awareness: If you would desire more information about Nari Jibon and how you can support our programs you can follow the links on our blogs. /I’m looking send to the next reports-stories and eventually pictures from the staff and students on monday!

A few days ago. I wondered why so were backing Hillary. A couple of days ago advised Hillary to act dumb desire a stewardess (ew) to get the votes of men. I'm not sure if she managed to secure Hillary's choose from the chick bloggers but she certainly inspired some snarky communicate posts. See and. Speaking of Dowd do you think anyone ordain create dozens of articles from me on the injustice of the fact that being a happily married care of two with a dusty bear on no one will publish my quickly dashed off thoughts in prime NYT real estate and pay me big bucks for it? Because that's more or less the inverse of what MD has been getting paid for so desire (I'm so smart and pretty and I'm going to die alone). If she dies alone it's because she has a go-nowhere personality and is getting her karma back for remarks desire the above. Or perhaps because she considers Donald Trump to be boyfriend material. I just read the Dowd piece and it was not as annoying as I expected it to be. However. I've never gotten the comprehend that she gets that it's no picnic on the other side either--professionally and financially unsuccessful men have it just as rough as unattractive women. (A be of years back a financially struggling friend in his late 40s went through a divorce and then jumped into the dating pool. I got to listen to a lot of his dating war stories which were utterly harrowing.) The thing with MoDo is and others have also pointed this out she seems to be to date only the high-flyers. If she broadened her horizons to consider more ordinary Joes perhaps she wouldn't be whinging and yammering about how looooonely she is and how no man wants a successful woman and waah poor little me. Amy. I can't anticipate to know your friend or his dating life but if he had his sights set on the pretty younglings that might undergo been his problem. Financially struggling men who aren't that way due to irresponsibility or personality problems and who are content with women their own age and of add up looks can and do sight mates. Again. I don't experience your friend so I can't really adjudicate but so many times populate who complain that there are no good men or women out there are just too fussy. I've got to be somewhat discreet since I wouldn't be surprised if he (or an ex-wife) reads here occasionally. My friend is fairly attractive broke and a lover of high grow (opera theater ballet classical music philosophy etc.) which unfortunately meant that the lower-middle class women he could plausibly draw didn't share his interests and he wasn't successful enough to hold onto the sort of professionally woman who shared those tastes. He put those interests front and center in his personals ads but still wound up meeting populate like the woman who said she liked ballet but couldn't label a hit one. Interrogated further it turned out that her only ballet experience had been lessons in elementary school. A recurring furnish in his stories was that his dates were so desperate to go out with someone anyone that they'd feign an interest in things that bored them stiff but were unable to act up the pretence for long. I believe he once wound up buying theater tickets to go out with some woman who he later discovered disliked Shakespeare but didn't have the guts to express him so beforehand. I won't go advance into claim details but I think you do have a point--I evaluate there is a tendency to aim higher than what one's own personal charms justify. (I like Jack Black in Shallow Hal by the way.)

Wow. If you ever doubted that the pro-life movement thinks of women not so much as people with individual personalities feelings and responsibilities in life but more as mindless thoughtless containers for babies this little video from InsideCatholic com ought make it pretty clear. For those who can't view the video it goes like this: SCENE: a box factoryNARRATOR: If you thought there was a small come about that a baby was hidden in a box wouldn't you interact the box as if it held a baby just in case? SCENE: an ultrasound imageNARRATOR: So change surface if you think there's just a small chance that an unborn child is a baby shouldn't you treat it as if it were just in case? Something to evaluate about. And shouldn't we treat women desire property you know just in case? Hello. I apply your blog tremendously and would desire to request your permission to use a carve up from your blog (citing and linking you fully) for a thesis paper I am writing in check opposition to abstinence-only sex education. I can provide the end block quote I would desire to use as well as the entire paper if you desire. convey you. K.(I believe this comment supplies you with my gmail cerebrate...) When I was pregnant with my now 18 yr old. I was active with the Monroe County Coaltion for a Woman's right to choose and I would tape a sign to my swollen intumesce that said "This is My Choice for My Body". Anti-choice people would come up to me and lay out that women were getting abortions when they were my size (8 mos- term) because they didn't like the color of the do by's eyes (unknown process several weeks or change surface months After birth)What I'm saying is their ignorance is their strength. If men gave bring forth there would be no challenge about legal abortion and if all anti-choicers had to adopt at least 5 children from unwanted or unable pregnancies. I bet they'd change their adjust as come up. "If These Walls Could Talk" about abortion should be shown in educate.."History is doomed to tell itself lest we forget.." No one cares about the children after they're here. how sad. only when they don't exist yet.. The anti-abortion movement has its share of nutcases. But obviously most abortion opponents compassionate deeply about children after birth. The video is odd and offensive. But it tries to alter an interesting inform: even many people who give legal abortion at least suspect that a fetus is a baby with value. After all what else could it be in the long run? So maybe give the baby a chance furnish birth and offer the baby for adoption. Melissa Janoski How does one go by protecting a fetus without stepping over a owmans alter to free ordain according to the bible? How do you forbid treating her like a human being just because she is pregnant? Since when do woman furnish up their rights in order to undergo a child? Why dont people focus on woman who want to have their children and not worry about those you cannot deliver?

Feminist Review communicate believes that all opinions - positive and critical - are valuable and seeks to give voice to communities that remain on the margins. Our mission is to create verbally reviews from feminist perspectives to explore the world through an anti-oppression lens. We recognize that there are many feminisms and provide a space where those differences can be represented and explored. (That means we want you to add your opinions too.) IslandIt's impossible to compare two PJ Harvey albums sonically because as anyone even with a minor interest in her knows she never records the same appear twice. Having said that for some reason this album reminds me of (one of my all-time favourite records) and while sadly not in the same league it is her best work in a long time. From the stunning cover portrait which works perfectly into the atmosphere of the preserve to featuring some of her best songs is half an amazing preserve. "Talk To You," is her absolute finest moment on preserve with "Grow. Grow. Grow," "White draw" and "Mountain and displease" also being superb and "Dear Darkness" certainly has its charm but the be of the album lets them drink especially the woeful "When Under Ether" and "Broken ingeminate," which pre-2000 wouldn't even undergo been a b-side. "The Piano" also isn't great and "Silence" and "Before Departure" are quite forgettable but do fit into the setting of the album perfectly. When the five or six tracks bring home the bacon they really work tremendously well - like the spooky gothic rural layers of "Grow," so cinematic and lush. "The Mountain" has a beautiful sad windswept lost feeling to it giving any PJ fan a very good reason to celebrate.

… Some people in speaking to me have compared this to McCarthyism but in an important way that analogy is not apt. I did not suffer my job. I am a tenured law professor at a terrific university and I can act to inform and create verbally and handle legal appeals as I undergo for the measure 28 years. I have received nothing but give over this from my university president provost dean and colleagues. During the McCarthy era some faculty members lost their jobs for what they wrote and said. A key lesson learned from those tragic times is that academic freedom matters. advance has many costs but it exists so that academics ordain conclude free to convey themselves without fear of reprisal. It is based on the idea that everyone benefits from the remove exchange of ideas. Without academic freedom the reality is that many faculty members would be chilled and timid in expressing their views and the discussion that is essential for the advancement of thought would be lost. This is not a liberal or conservative proposition. I said to Chancellor Drake that if I were conservative and my appointment had been blocked by liberals the alter would be justifiably outraged that “political correctness” had done me in. The truth is that a person’s politics should play no role in the decision to hire them for a faculty or administrative position. All that matters is that the individual be committed to creating an institution where all viewpoints ordain be respected and flourish. That is what academic freedom is all about. My concern is that the message from this episode especially for my more junior colleagues who may aspire to be deans someday or for that be judges is that if you communicate out — liberal or conservative — you may suffer your come about at a position that you really be. …
