Folks may recall that there was some discussion<\/a> of my appearance on Air America’s “Majority Report” show; so I should point out that Jessica of Feministing appeared on “Majority Report” last week<\/a>. To listen to Jessica’s segment, go here<\/a>, download the second half of the show, and start listening 35 minutes into the recording. (Alternatively, you could just listen to the whole show, of course.)<\/p>\n

Janeane’s guest-sidekick was blogger Bill Scher of the excellent Liberal Oasis<\/a>. I would have preferred to hear less Janeane and Bill and more Jessica, but on the whole it’s a good segment, and Jessica does a wonderful job discussing some of the current battles in the abortion war.<\/p>\n

Later in the segment, there were interesting bits of disagreement between the three speakers. Bill derailed a good Janeane rant about “which feminists hate men?” by suggesting that Catherine MacKinnon is a man-hater (a charge I doubt Bill could support). Janeane and Jessica disagree – very gingerly – about pro-sex feminism, which Janeane calls “thong feminism.” (Janeane thinks that underwear like this <\/a>trivializes the issues involved, whereas my – possibly mistaken – impression was that Jessica thinks it’s cool activist fun.). And some tensions between second-wave feminism and third-wave feminism were apparent, as well.<\/p>\n

Anyhow, it’s fun to hear feminists on the air.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
