Yay! It’s the Fourth Edition of Feminism at its Finest
The fourth edition of Feminism at its Finest is here! I’ve been posting quite a bit lately, which I am quite proud of, so check back often for new content and posts!
We didn’t receive that many submissions this week, so promote promote promote–If you can.
Pretty Lady presents Feminist fashion advice posted at Pretty Lady.
Madeleine Begun Kane presents An Arresting Affair, a fabulous piece about a recent court settlement of $29,000 against the city of New York by a woman who walked down the street topless and was arrested, although a woman going topless is perfectly legal and has been since 1992. This piece is posted at Mad Kane’s Humor Blog.
Carole G. McKay presents China, the Olympics and the S.P.C.A. posted at Gold Post-it.
Akemi presents The Mystery of Male Bonding, which talks about how men communicate with each other and also goes on to say a little about how women communicate, as well. The list includes parenting, family health issues, weight issues…I can’t go on, come on. What about politics? Human rights? What about philosophy? And I know I sure do have a damn lot to say about society… This post is at Gratitude Magic.
And for some shameless self-promotion, we have Colorado and Missouri Wage War on Women’s Rights posted over at Woman Tribune.
And that’s it! Be sure to submit your posts for next week!
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 must-read; I know I was seething from beginning to end!
Madeleine Begun Kane presents a great little piece on bras, Keeping Abreast Of Bras. Bras…a subject I am all too familiar with, yet not so familiar with at the same time. I know I hate them, I even know how much I hate them! This and much more is at Mad Kane’s Humor Blog.
D Robinson wrote a post warning people about an incredibly offensive T-shirt website that completely degrades women and uses their merchandise as their little sexism playground. Men behaving badly: sexist t-shirt slogans.
She also presents a post, ‘Right to Life’ bias in pregnancy counseling, which talks about anti-abortion pregnancy centers and pro-life extremists, citing a specific website, Pro-Life Victoria. This website has pictures of alive children and of course, being the extremists they are and carrying the entire pro-life “movement’s” belief that women have no idea what they are doing or are too unintelligent to care when seeking an abortion, aborted fetuses. For this, I issue a trigger warning because these types of pictures, while unnecessary and uncalled for, are rather disturbing. Both of these posts can be seen at Australian Women Online.
Vishal Gupta wrote a post, along with every other person in the blogosphere, about the one woman getting the most publicity in the media, Hillary Clinton. Iron my shirt?- Sexism and Leadership is posted at A Business Professor’s Weblog.
Megan Bayliss presents a great post on the traveling bra project that All For Women have going on right now, All for women, two sheilas and under cover BRAvery. She says:
Some women wear their bras on the inside, some on the outside. I wore mine up the street, in full view, as a consciousness raising walk about women’s issues and the circle of friendship between women the world over. Who stopped to talk to me about the bra - WOMEN.
Read this post at Imaginif child protection became serious business.
blue skelton presents Slippery Slope Movie Trailer, a trailer for a movie about Sarah Shenck and her dream to direct meaningful movies with a feminist message, but desperate for finances, finds herself directing a porno film. Could be interesting, especially if done right. This can be seen at Blue Skelton Publications.
For all of the business women or business women hopefuls out there, Bonnie Krueger has a post about business grants and loans–Where Do Women Go To Find Business Grants Or Loans? This is posted at Women Personal And Business Loans.
This week’s turn out was great! Thanks to everyone who submitted their posts, you can start submitting any feminist posts you may have for next week’s carnival!
The Second Edition of Feminism at its Finest
The second edition of [the new] Feminism at its Finest is here!
With politics on the minds of many, Sholom Anarchy presents Stumping for Ron Paul again, posted at Anarcho-Judaism.
Madeleine Begun Kane presents I Won’t Graciously Submit To Mike Huckabee posted at Mad Kane’s Political Madness.
These posts, of course, bring up the question on the minds of many–Who is your candidate of choice?
Christine presents Taking Time for Romantic Comedies, as well as Finding Your Special Talent, posted at Me, My Kid and Life: An American Single Mom Living in France.
And there we have it! The main Blog Carnival site has been a little weird with time stamping issues as far as my hiatus and carnivals go, but I hopefully fixed that so that will make people want to submit their posts again–Hopefully! But while you’re here, submit your feminist posts for next week!
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”. Definitely a must read!
Carol presents a fantastic post on the marketing tactics used by companies called Is Makeup Harmless?
Erich Engelbrecht presents a post called Why Women Make All The Difference, where he states:
Marketing technical sciences to young women may be one measure to increase female output in this area. I think a lot less money is needed for the same results if girls are brought up more naturally in an ever more technical society.
therapydoc presents a post on internet addiction and pornography called Internet Pornography- Part One. Don’t worry, it’s actually quite a good post.
Pearl has a very informative post on social media called Would You Want to Exchange Social Media Information? Definitely a must read for anyone looking for simple ways to get more viewers to your website.
And that is all for the blog carnival this week. It will be back next week so submit your posts now!

The Feminist Behind The Site
My name is Holly, I'm a freelance writer and web designer as well as an obsessive blogger. This site focuses on (mainly) US politics, women's rights and health and society.
