pentru cine isi mai aduce aminte de “minunata” postare a tipului cu subiectiv.ro despre “noi” (sau, mai degraba, despre niste probleme de-ale lui) – am observat recent ca omul, care e clar de o misoginie psihopata, scrie pe hotnews.ro… SUPER!
deci asta e ce ne putem astepta de la mass media… a se observa ca pe langa alex mihaileanu, varzaru de la catavencu e chiar feminist iar jurnalistul de la romania libera e seful feminismului! asa ca sa zicem mersi ca ei au scris de lf07 – putea fi mai rau.
no lo soporto, “no se”
the go! team, “grip like a vice”
telepathe, “threads and knives”
jolly goods, “girl move away from here”
The average woman worldwide is giving birth to fewer children than ever. Nonetheless, an estimated 136 million babies were born in 2007, bringing the global population to about 6.7 billion. Governments must improve access to good health care and family planning to see further declines in childbearing and increases in life expectancy…
More: Population, Nature, and What Women Want
For the Worldwatch Institute, human population has always been a sustainability issue. Our earliest writings confirmed a stable balance between population and the environment as an essential ingredient of the equitable and enduring society our mission advances. And over the years we have highlighted the polices needed in all nations to encourage this balance through healthy reproduction, voluntary family planning, gender equality, and the free decisions of women and couples about childbearing.
Since our founding, however, the issues surrounding population have become ever more sensitive and delicate, discouraging many environmentalists and policymakers from taking on the topic. Now, Worldwatch Vice President for Programs Robert Engelman, a 16-year veteran of the population and reproductive health field, has broken new ground in his own fresh take on this perennially difficult issue. In More: Population, Nature, and What Women Want, Engelman leads readers on a journey from humanity’s first steps on two feet to the 21st century and beyond to explore whether women want more children or more for their children, and how their childbearing intentions have fared in a male-dominated world. The answers he finds not only surprise but offer new hope for real and lasting global sustainability.
Rich in historical detail, contemporary stories, and provocative ideas, More is the keystone of a new initiative at the Worldwatch Institute to return population and women’s reproductive decision-making to their critical role in the environment, the economy, and human rights.

Barbara Kruger, “Plenty”
“Women in the City” is a viral public art exhibition spread throughout the streets of Los Angeles that will start in February 2008.
The work of four seminal women artists, who began to emerge on the international art scene at the beginning of the ’80s within the feminist movement, will penetrate the urban and social geography of the city.
Jenny Holzer, Barbara Kruger, Louise Lawler and Cindy Sherman disseminate their work in various locations in on-the-road billboards, video screens, storefronts, a movie theater and even propagation through widely distributed stickers.
Why “Women in the City”? One of the fundamental achievements of the historical feminist movement was the appropriation of the streets: thousands of women were invading the cities of the western world fighting for their rights. Now that those rights have been asserted and women have begun to fully permeate and influence politics, culture and the art system, “Women in the City” can showcase the art of women in empowered position.
Rebel Girl, Rebel Worlds: An Anthology of International Grrrl Zines
By Elke Zobl (Austria) with Red Chidgey (UK), Sonja Eismann (Germany/Austria) and Hayde Jimenez (Mexico/USA)
DO YOU PUBLISH A ZINE WITH A FEMINIST TAKE AND WOULD LIKE TO CONTRIBUTE TO AN INTERNATIONAL ANTHOLOGY OF GRRRL ZINES?
We are zine activists who believe that the cut’n’paste revolution is an important part of contemporary movements for social change; whether it’s talking about messed up beauty standards, how to change rape culture, or how to fix the wheels on your bike, zines are crucial documents for everyday change, empowerment, and education.
To create a living archive of feminist zines from across the globe, we are working on an overview of the international Grrrl Zine Network; bringing together primary documents on a wide range of topics with analyses of the strengths and challenges of the Third Wave feminist movement. Based on Elke’s web site GRRRL ZINE NETWORK – A resource site for international grrrl, lady, queer and trans folk zines, distros and DIY projects (http://grrrlzines.net
