am incercat sa ma gandesc la 8 martie inainte de 8 martie ca sa pot contribui cu ceva… dar sincer eram asa de obsedata cu 1 martie cand eram mica si si acum ma gandesc f. mult la o colectie de martisoare imaginara incat pt mine 8 martie era destul de minor…

cu toate astea.. mi-a adus aminte mama mea de cateva detalii cand i-am urat la multi ani ieri…anume: faptul ca avea o zi libera de care se bucura f. mult si de ghioceii, zambilele si restul florilor de primavara pe care le primeam… de astea sigur imi aduc si eu aminte dar mai putin decat ea…

GRITtv: Kathleen Hanna: Three-Dimensional Role Model

Kathleen Hanna came into a music scene in the 90s that was angry, violent, and full of men. She and her bandmates in Bikini Kill, along with the rest of the riot grrrl movement, pushed back against that culture and helped usher in a new “wave” of feminism. After Bikini Kill, Hanna went on to make feminist dance music with Le Tigre and has kept pushing boundaries ever since. Recently, she donated her zine archive to NYU’s Fales Library as part of its new Riot Grrrl collection. She joins Laura (GRITtv) in studio to talk feminism, rock’n’roll, and why she’s hopeful for the future.

And for those who want to find out more about what Kathleen Hanna is up to, her blog is here!!!

by Andrew Louks (taken from Anarchist journal Linchpin #6)

As with anarchism, there are many ways to think of anarchafeminism. It can be thought of as a way to promote anarchist ideas within the feminist movement or vice versa – to promote feminist ideas within the anarchist movement. But anarchafeminism is not simply spun together by people involved in both. Anarchism and feminism share deep connections. —- Both combine values of
individual autonomy with collective good and collective action. An anarchafeminist women’s health clinic, for instance, would necessarily include abortion in its services or referrals because women should control their own bodies. It would value equitable service for all, which means it could never be a privatized, never charge fees or institute practices that would exclude lower-income, immigrant or marginalized women from its service. And it would be organized by women, for women in a non-hierarchical fashion.
