Stuff and Things.
Jun. 1st, 2007 07:44 pmNote: Naked woman on the cover a magazine at the first link.
Beth Ditto on the cover of NME (I think it's the current issue of NME, but I haven't gotten NME regularly in a while.) It's getting a mixed response, with some people horrified that there's a naked fat woman with hairy armpits on the cover a magazine, and others talking about how empowering it is to see her there. And there's a variety of responses to what she said about gay men and celebrities being to blame for the body image/self hatred issues as well.
Also, interesting blog post on feminist messages and abstinence only education. Or rather, the anti-feminist/anti-empowered woman messages that exist in such programs.
And, in contrast, and for your amusement...abstinence only sites courtesy of Whitehouse.org 1
Sex is for Fags-an abstinence only site for boys.
Iron Hymen an abstienence only site for girls.
