BumbleBee Sweet Potato presents <\/em>The 32nd Carnival of Feminism!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

NEW TO THE BLOGROLL SECTION<\/strong>: I don’t use my blogroll for blogreading anymore; I’ve been using bloglines<\/a> for over a year. As a result, some of my favorite blogs never make it to my blogroll. So some of these blogs really are new to me; others I’ve admired for ages. (If I link to you regularly but you’re not on my blogroll, please drop me a line.) Anyhow…<\/p>\n

Vue Point Blog: Upcoming Documentary To Spread The Word About Po’pay<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Several years ago, the Ohkay Owingeh Pueblo in New Mexico teamed up with filmmakers Derek Stokes and Catherine Angeles of Skalalitude Productions to change all that. Their upcoming feature-length documentary, Po\u2019pay, A True American Hero, will pay tribute to the man, and perhaps even more importantly, the legacy of his victorious revolt against the Spanish in the lives of modern-day Natives seeking to maintain their languages and traditions.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat is so inspiring about the story it is really the only time during the colonial onslaught that an Indigenous people were able to stand up and defeat that force and save their culture in the process,\u201d explains Stokes. \u201cIt is such a wonderfully, positive story people aren\u2019t familiar with, although they really should be. It\u2019s because of this revolt that the culture in the Southwest is still so strong comparatively to other Native American tribes.\u201d <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

*** ONGOING INTER-BLOG DEBATE ABOUT RACE, BEING A WHITE “RACE TRAITOR,” AND FEMINISM ***<\/strong>
\nOr, as Nine Pearls aptly calls it, “The White Lady Pity Party<\/strong><\/a>.” There are good link round-ups at Fetch Me My Axe<\/strong><\/a> and Renegade Evolution<\/strong><\/a>, so I won’t attempt to replicate their work. But I will point out three posts that were (for me) stand-outs: Brownfemipower’s<\/strong><\/a> typically super-sharp and well-written analysis; the “Clue Phone” post at Cassandra Says<\/strong><\/a>; and this milk-shot-out-my-nose visual post at My Private Casbah<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Balkinization: The Feminist Justification of Roe <\/em>vs The Libertarian Justification of Roe<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The very expression “reproductive rights” hides an important ambiguity. Reproductive rights could refer either to women’s ability to control their reproductive lives or to the ability to choose when and how to have offspring. In the former case, reproductive rights would help secure equality with men and avoid the subordination that comes from forced motherhood. In the latter case, reproductive rights might include the right to have a child engineered to lack a particular disease or disability, or more fancifully, the right to have a child with blonde hair and blue eyes, or even a clone of one’s self. The latter account of reproductive rights may increase the personal liberties of parents without promoting the relative equality of women.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ilyka Damen: On Being A House Bitch<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

…It keeps me up at night that I have no financial power in my marriage. My husband always claims that it\u2019s OUR money. But, seriously, it isn\u2019t. If he gets hit by a bus tomorrow, or leaves me for someone else, I have nothing to fall back on. I would lose everything if it got ugly. I wouldn\u2019t even be able to pay my first husband the lousy $43 in child support I\u2019m obligated to pay each month.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I recall being maybe 8 years old and standing in line at the grocery store with my mother. A woman in front of us was paying for her groceries with a combination of personal check and food stamps. My mother hissed to me, \u201cLOOK at that. She\u2019s wearing a leather jacket and has PICTURES on her CHECKS!
