The Pill: Unnatural WomanQuote: Sometimes I imagine a world where writers are forbidden for a year from starting from the premise that women are dumber, more irrational, or more emotional than men. The pages labeled "Fashion," "Style," or "Life" in newspapers would change dramatically. The trend-piece industry would quite possibly not be able to handle the shift in focus, and collapse completely. Sexism is the gasoline that fuels it. Exhibit #1: This condescending article about the pill from Vanessa Grigoriadis of New York magazine. Forums: |

WHY was the Sudbury Women's Centre des Femmes (SWC) CLOSED?Why is the Sudbury Women's Centre (SWC) Closed? ... It's a sad day in the voluntary sector -- when a handful of women --- can continue to operate without openness and transparency, in violation of policy and procedures (not to mention labour laws) and an apparent disregard for feminist practices, the SWC Collective, and the women they serve in the community, ... and when they can close down a Women's Centre, change the locks, cancel the AGM, and lockout workers (of 19 yrs & 13 yrs) as they have in Sudbury.
