All Hail the Queen? What do our perceptions of Beyonce's feminism say about us? Illustration by Irana Douer. Who run the world? If entertainment domination is the litmus test, then all hail Queen Bey. Beyoncé. Beyoncé's success would seem to offer many reasons for feminists to cheer. But some pundits are hesitant to award the singer feminist laurels. Petersen says the singer's lyrical feminism swings between fantasy ("Run the World [Girls]") and "bemoaning and satirizing men's inability to commit to monogamous relationships" ("Single Ladies"). Turns out, booty shaking and stamping your husband's last name on a product of your own creativity makes a lot of folks question your feminist values. Of course, in that very same issue of GQ, Beyoncé makes several statements about gender inequity—the sort not often showcased in men's magazines. A popular star willing to talk about gender inequity, as Beyoncé has, is depressingly rare. Dr. More problematic to some is the name of Beyoncé's world tour—the Mrs.
Chère fille qui veut percer - Genre & Féminisme(s) Chère fille qui veut percer J’ai fait le décompte. Depuis le mois d’août, depuis que je suis arrivée au Voir à temps plein, six pages frontispices ont mis en vedette des musiciens hommes. Pour les femmes, la récolte est mince. J’en compte deux avec celle qui est dans les bacs ce jeudi. Il en découle un constat, même si tout ceci n’est que le fruit du hasard.

(Reprinted in "Intervention and Reflection: Basic Issues in Medical Ethics," 5th ed., ed. Ronald Munson (Belmont; Wadsworth 1996). pp 69-80.) Most opposition to abortion relies on the premise that the fetus is a human being, a person, from the moment of conception. I am inclined to agree, however, that the prospects for "drawing a line" in the development of the fetus look dim. I propose, then, that we grant that the fetus is a person from the moment of conception. It sounds plausible. In this case, of course, you were kidnapped, you didn't volunteer for the operation that plugged the violinist into your kidneys. Nor do they make an exception for a case in which the mother has to spend the nine months of her pregnancy in bed. Let us call the view that abortion is impermissible even to save the mother's life "the extreme view." The most familiar argument here is the following.
La Ménade, cette funambuliste de la contraception | La Ménade Mon poussin fleuri, Ça faisait un moment que j’avais envie de te parler d’un truc, et puis je trouvais que c’était rudement intime de t’y exposer ça à l’interweberie, mais j’avoue que c’est aussi un de mes sujets de prédilections. Du coup, je me vautrais dans la dilemmerie, jusqu’à ce que… Jusqu’à ce que la Valérie/Georgette publie ça : (que j’aimerai beaucoup que tu le lises, parce que je vais m’épargner beaucoup de lignes à ne pas répéter ce qu’elle dit déjà) Et là je me suis dit que Karma il avait vraiment très envie que je te parle de ma chatte. Bon alors, je vais pas faire de schéma 3 par 7, on va sous-entendre tacitement que tu connaitras tous les termes techniques qui vont être employés. J’ai d’abord rattrapé aux branches les vieux réflexes et j’ai couru me faire prescrire des hormones à gober. Force fut de constater que c’était un échec. J’ai donc arrêté la pilule.
Gendering Your Household by Smell « Inequality by (Interior) Design There’s a small body of work on the sociology of smell that deals with gender. Scents, their cultural meaning, and our experiences of them are culturally mediated processes (here, here, and here). What women and men ought to smell like is, in some ways, just another of the various ways in which we are all held accountable to recognizable performances of gender. Controlling one’s own scent is a small part of this process. And controlling the scent of your home–perhaps in different ways for different spaces within the home–is a piece of gendering our social environments as well. Yankee Candle stores are always fun. Like a number of products catering primarily to women, Yankee has developed a “men’s line.” Yankee thinks they do, and if their online catalog of “Man Candles” is representative of people’s candle desires, apparently people agree. Read the Man Candle scent descriptions: In part, this is clearly undertaken out of a desire to broaden Yankee’s market base. Like this: Like Loading...
