		<title>Bits and pieces</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Not long ago, I found an interesting blog post about furniture designed to look like parts of women&#8217;s bodies. As the title of the article clearly states, the furniture was &#8220;inspired by the most attractive female forms&#8221;&#8211;but of course, that means conventionally attractive breasts, buttocks, legs, and high-heeled feet. The part that makes me laugh [...]]]></description>

		<title>Out of touch</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, my younger sister gave birth to a totally cute little boy named Braidan. Fittingly, as we sat around in her hospital room, we watched bits and pieces of a marathon of I Didn&#8217;t Know I Was Pregnant. This show is pretty interesting, if dramatic, especially considering the responses you see from people who hear [...]]]></description>

		<title>Nudity and Empowerment</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Carnal Nation reports that &#8220;Scottish Women&#8217;s Aid, an organization dedicated to helping the victims of domestic abuse, has flatly refused a £600 ($1000) gift from 11 women who posed semi-nude for a calendar.&#8221; A spokesperson from Scottish Women&#8217;s Aid states, &#8220;We are opposed to the sex industry, and we have an issue with women removing [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Feminism</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Even though I&#8217;m a women&#8217;s and gender studies senior, I&#8217;d still consider myself to be fairly new to feminism. There is a lot to learn and so many perspectives to explore that the few short years I&#8217;ve spent truly studying feminism seem to have barely touched the surface. However, deep down, I have been a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Protecting children from sex</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Why do we want to protect our children from sex? A couple weeks ago I finally finished reading Judith Levine’s Harmful to Minors: The Perils of Protecting Children from Sex. It was a fascinating read, and it paralleled many of my own personal beliefs on the subject of childhood sexual education. As an aspiring sexuality [...]]]></description>

		<title>Customer service and power</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Having worked in customer service more or less since I began working, I can attest to the interesting dynamics of power and privilege that are revealed during my work. The already low status of this work is exacerbated by the fact that I work in very unskilled, low-wage, fast food jobs. Therefore, I am expected [...]]]></description>

		<title>Kate Gosselin nonsense</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I will admit it: I enjoy watching Jon and Kate Plus Eight, and as such, I&#8217;ve been hearing a lot about all the drama surrounding their and their children&#8217;s lives. Of course, most of what I hear about has to do with Kate Gosselin. She&#8217;s a mean bitch! She&#8217;s a terrible mother! All she cares [...]]]></description>

		<title>Inside the dollhouse: harassment and labor violations in the elite modeling business</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This article in the Guardian writes about a new documentary, made by model Sarah Ziff and Ole Schell, about life as a model in the world of high fashion. In it, they detail the realities many models face. The modeling industry, as they note, is one of the least regulated industries in the world; models [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lose-lose Situations</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I was about twelve years old, I discovered the meaning of abortion. Ever since that moment, I have been adamantly pro-choice. Fortunately, going to college has made me question my old perspectives, and I&#8217;ve learned to respect and appreciate an argument sometimes found on the pro-life side: women shouldn&#8217;t need to get abortions. There [...]]]></description>

		<title>I&#8217;ve been reading&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;Privilege: A Reader, and already the very first essay was on the spot for me in so many ways. &#8216;Oppression&#8217;, a piece written by Marilyn Frye, attempts to define what oppression really is and isn&#8217;t, and how small acts that we usually don&#8217;t acknowledge as oppression contribute to it in the larger picture. Now, one [...]]]></description>
