I do think that more people are feminists than they realize.

Something I say a lot when it comes to anti-feminist stereotypes is that they exist for a reason.

Small blogs are starting up big campaigns.

claims about what's 'natural' have long been used to reinforce traditional gender roles and values. ... Even the notion that women should have children at all is based on the idea that a woman's inherent and most important role is that of mother. Shockingly, men's 'innate' roles are a lot more fun than the ones bestowed on women.

Life is messy, and it's okay if you are too! We all screw up, that doesn't have to define us.

I think that blogging and the Internet has completely changed feminism for ever, I think.

In 1986, Gloria Steinem wrote that if men got periods, they 'would brag about how long and how much': that boys would talk about their menstruation as the beginning of their manhood, that there would be 'gifts, religious ceremonies' and sanitary supplies would be 'federally funded and free'. I could live without the menstrual bragging - though mine is particularly impressive - and ceremonial parties, but seriously: Why aren't tampons free?
