Welcome Back to the NEW AVPW
I know it’s been a long time, and I doubt anyone is reading this…yet…but just so you know, AVPW is back online and will be regularly bringing you stories of justice and injustice, feminism and misogyny, political and apolitical. All you have to do is be ready…and check back often.
Don’t Worry….
AVPW hasn’t gone anywhere, just taking a much needed break. We’ll be back this week with more commentary and news.
Gloria Steinem is the reason teenagers don’t blame Chris Brown?
Howdy Sam,
I stumbled across this column after reading a blog that linked to another blog about said column.
The “site” is Townhall.com, which is the festering place for conservative trolls. A “columnist”, Kathryn Jean Lopez, cites feminism as the reason some little dipshits in a pop study done in Boston blame Rihanna for getting assaulted by [...]
The No-Spin Zone Stalks
Amanda Terkel at Think Progress was followed, stalked and ambushed by a Bill O’Reilly henchman on her vacation, no less, after Think Progress criticized O’Reilly’s anomical appearance at a fundraising event for the Alexa Foundation. According to Terkel:
On March 1, ThinkProgress picked up on a story by News Hounds, which noted that Fox News host [...]
You Might Not Be In A Post-Racial Society If…
The whole impetus for this set of posts wasn’t just Black History Month. It was a conversation I heard on “Tell Me More” about a month ago that questioned whether we truly were in a “post-racial society”. I don’t know about you, but when I envisioned a post-racial society, the situation we are presented with [...]
Monkey is a Monkey…Until we have a Black President
This week, in recognition of Black History Month, Marilyn Jean and I have decided to discuss the ever-present topic of a so-called “post-racial society.” Such a society was much touted as being on the horizon after Obama’s success in the primary and general elections. This is our take on the post-racial society fad, whether we [...]
Not A Happy Valentine’s Day
Remember those days in grade school when you’d put a paper sack on your desk and await Valentines from your classmates? It was a validation of your self worth in many ways, especially as the frolicking of youth turned into the posturing of adolescence. Valentine’s Day seems to hold those promises every year.
Now imagine that [...]
Second shifts, role reversal, door mats and douchebags
I’m calling bullshit on John Baruch. He is nobody to you, but he is featured in a NYT article about the possibility - not reality - of women overtaking men in the workplace due to the massive clusterfuck that is our economy.
I can understand where one might get that idea, what with all the factory, [...]
I wish my crappy lunch was the worst of my problems
Thanks, SamGrace for allowing me to join the conversation here at AVPW. Gosh, I’m not exactly sure what to say here. I’m usually waiting for prompts from you, but I’m a big girl now, so here goes.
Like Sam said, I’ll try offer an alternative viewpoint on shit. But let me be frank and say that [...]
AVPW’s Cut The Games Anti-Award: PETA’s Big Sexism Problem
I usually try to ignore PETA’s antics because they are counterproductive and just plain silly. I’d like to think that the many celebrities that follow PETA around like the second coming of Jesus are clueless to their completely misogynistic and demeaning advertising campaigns, but I know better. In fact, it’s many of these celebrities that [...]
