The Great Library of Autostraddle 12 years, 4 months agoi’ve just finished ‘delusions of gender’ by cordelia fine. i read ‘why so slow’ by virginia valian before
i can really recommend them both, very interesting reads, well backed by substantial scientific evidence. but also rather frustrating in ways when you realize how (subtly) misogynistic society/academia still is..any suggestions for further…[Read more]

How did it go ladies? I’m upset couldn’t be there :(
-
It was fun. I thought you were going to show so we waited for you for a bit. Next time ;)
-
Things we established:
1) Check out Effing Dykes’ hilarious blog: http://effingdykes.blogspot.com/
2) Watch Planet Earth the TV series
3) Watch Chocolate (2008)I find it weird to go from seeing real people to internet avatars. It’s as if Zoso is an animagus-kitty-hipster.

hahaha maaayybe I aaaaaam….
and yay thanks for posting the link!
-
I’ve got 1 & 2 covered! And Chocolate looks AMAZING. What did you end up doing? Did you leave Sneaky Dee’s?
-
Sneaky Dee’s was loud. We waited a bit in case more people came then the three of us walked around and settled on Cloak and Dagger for a drink. After, we went to a dumpling place on Spadina. Then we walked around the Entertainment District. We stumbled upon this event where people were throwing balls toward a screen/wall. We got free stress balls…[Read more]

Chocolate IS amazing. girls kickin ass = hot :)
-
I finished watching it. WHOA! It’s pretty funny to see a man run away from a girl. Wuss!
-
:D Glad you liked it. Another movie by Tony Jaa with an asskicking girl in it is Raging Phoenix (2009) but I didn’t like the storyline as much as Chocolate.

Is that called an animakipster?
-
Animakipster sounds like an iPhone photo app that turns humans into animal hipsters, like Hipstamatic. :D
Watching the end credits for Chocolate made me feel bad for enjoying fight scenes at the expense of actors getting hurt. Dunno if I can watch Raging Phoenix… Jackie Chan has said he has a hard time getting insurance for his movies because…[Read more]

Ok, it seems to me as though this club is picking up steam! 31 members and counting so I think we have plenty of members to make this viable. I have another mini poll for yโall.
.
1) When we exchange, would you prefer to be matched with the same person you send your cd to (A sends to B; B sends to A), or you you prefer to be matched with a third p…[Read more]-
Guess I’ll get the ball rolling…
1) I think it’d be better if we were matched with a third party, it feels more open and group-y, rather than individual.
2) I’m in the UK, and I wouldn’t mind shipping internationally, but equally happy to be matched with others this side of the pond :) -
1) I too think it would be better if we were matched with a third party. Yay community!
2) Hmm…As much as I hate to discriminate, I wouldn’t really want to pay the international fees. :/ -
I’m up for anything, and everything.
-
1) Third Party.
2) I don’t mind paying international fees – but, I can appreciate that others may not want to pay.

Looks like everyone wants to do an actual hard-copy mixtape. I think it’s a badass idea. So let’s fuckin’ do it! We need someone to organize it a list. I can since I do this stuff all day long. SO! Peeps, if you want to participate in a hard-copy mixtape swap:
SEND YOUR: NAME, ADDRESS, E-MAIL ADDRESS and 1-3 GENRE PREFERENCES to: hydro.jukebox @…[Read more]

What if we all zip our mixtapes and use mediafire to send the files? OR, we can all make a Soundcloud account and stream the mixtapes. Soundcloud is awesome. If you haven’t heard of it, check it out:http://soundcloud.com/
-
I think it’d be sweet if we made the mixes, and actually sent them through the mail.
Everyone loves getting mail. Plus, I think it’d be worth the effort. I’m even going to attempt at making a cd sleeve for the mix I just posted.

If you’re interesting in feminism and sex, Jessica Valenti’s The Purity Myth (taking on the abstinence movement) and Ariel Levy’s Female Chauvinist Pigs: Women and the Rise of Raunch Culture are a good duo.
OMG Delusions of Gender was so good! I want to buy it for everybody now. If you haven’t read it I’d recommend Natalie Angier’s Woman: An Intimate Geography, a great science/sex/feminism read. Also Evolution’s Rainbow: Diversity, Gender, and Sexuality in Nature and People, by Joan Roughgarden.
