I was thinking of scrapping it all together but decided against it, which I bet makes a few of the dedicated submitters quite happy. I will be accepting submissions for the next Feminism at its Finest roundup which will be posted September 30 so go submit your feminist posts! READ MORE »
Feminism at its Finest: 4th of July Edition
The last edition of Feminism at its Finest was put on hold for this month on purpose and what’s even more important, is that it was held for today, specifically. I don’t celebrate the 4th of July; in fact, I don’t celebrate any holiday that is meant to celebrate a country who won’t fight for its people, but expect its people to fight for it so instead of celebrating the independence of a country consistently screwing over its citizens, I am going to celebrate READ MORE »

Feminism at its Finest: March 2008
Welcome to Feminism at its Finest, March 2008 edition. This is by far the largest edition we have had to date and I am very excited for this carnival to keep building awareness and momentum. So let’s get to the submissions. Blue presents Hotties On TV Sell Get Rich Scams, a post talking about an infomercial that I have seen on some lazy late nights that used women who are depicted as brainless and naive while objectifying women and using the “sex sells” mentality and READ MORE »
Feminism at its Finest: February 2008
The February 2008 edition of Feminism at its Finest is here! Since changing this carnival from a once a week roundup to once a month, the carnival has obviously taken some form and submissions have been trickling in to form an actual list. It has also given many people the opportunity to promote the carnival, as there is now more time to make people aware of the carnival in advance. And on to the posts… Beth Terry presents Plastic-free sex, part 2: “Pedro offers you his READ MORE »

Third Edition of Feminism at its Finest
The third edition of Feminism at its Finest is here! This week was a great turnout, a lot more than I expected. Thanks to everyone who contributed. Firstly, my favorite feminist post I’ve seen this past week is from Cara of the The Curvature. In Whose Abortion? she talk about a new men’s rights, anti-abortion movement that seeks to change political and personal language from “I had an abortion” or “she had an abortion” to “We had an abortion.” This is definitely a READ MORE »

The New Feminism at its Finest
Due to the holidays, work, and everything revolving around holidays and work (but mostly work,) Menstrual Poetry has been stagnant for a few weeks. Because of this, Feminism at its Finest has suffered quite a bit. I have decided to change the day that the carnival will be up, from this point forward, it will be up every Sunday and I am also going to make dedicated Menstrual Poetry time a few days a week. Madeleine Begun Kane wrote a hilarious piece entitled Chafing At “Chick”. READ MORE »
