Looney feminist weblogs

Weblogs largely or wholly concerned with women's issues: I need more feminist in my eyes please. Prefer wimminz, will happily read men though. Recently I have been enjoying dipping into the fine fine Pandagon. Further examples welcomed.

i read the f-word blog and feministing, and like to keep up with girls read comics too.
GRCT isn't strictly feminism, i guess.
still, good reading, and stuff you'll probably enjoy, and all with a feminist background.

there are more, but those are ones i have bookmarked or linked.

Majikthise. How could I resist, with the baaaaaayby sloth pictures! Aww.

Of course, wimminz bloggers are good for more than just cute baby animal photos, as BrownFemiPower also consistently demonstrates.

would it be massively inconvenient to ask for a thread name change?

i know it's a joke, but i don't think folk will be able to find your thread all that easily without searching for 'feminazi'.
seems a bit ...unhelpful?

while i do appreciate you have a right to self identify, i wonder if some of the authors of the blogs linked would be as into the joke once they see their sites linked under such a banner.

i know a couple of them are aware of the site from my conversations with them(and perhaps even post...), and i'd hate them to think we thought they were unreasonable or risible, even if only kinda.

at least think about it, yeah?

Okay, that's fine. It was intended as a joke and if I, personally, was one of those bloggers I'd think it was funny, but I can see how it might be a bit eye-pokey so I'll ask for a change.

maybe get a consensus.
i'm conscious of a certain degree of 'atonement piety'(or whatever you want to call it) in my attitude.

i mean, i've said some dumb shit, and 'feminazi' was one of the dumberer.
you might want a less guilt-ridden opinion.

Nah, I just remembered that a lot of ppl who don't know me read me as having a very male textual voice, which puts a different gloss on things. I've asked to tone it down a wee bit.

man-voice! man-voice!

ahem...
i've just been reading majikthise, and that shit just earned a bookmark.

Less wimminz issues than advanced patriachy-blaming snark, but Twisty is one of my personal faves:

I hadn't started reading Twisty when transphobiagate broke out, and now I think I probably can't. Hi there, though.

I've kind of rethought my relationship with some of the above blogs after the whole business with Amanda fucking bloody "I'm not a racist boohoo you are teh meen" Marcotte.

I can't stand Twisty, mostly because I looked into the transsesxual thing and threw up in my mouth a little. Okay, a lot.
