I’m currently reading a book called Backlash. It talks about the backlash against feminism in the 1980’s after the movement in the 1970’s. It’s interesting.

I read that as a teenager and actually threw it at my wall a few times. Not because it’s badly written or anything (it’s really not), but because I just got so freaking ANGRY about all the injustice! That’s definitely a classic.
-
Oh my god, me too. I had to take “anger breaks” and take walks around the neighborhood.

Is that the one by Susan Faludi? I haven’t read that, but I’d love to! What specifics does it deal with?
-
There’s actually just so much that it covers. Two pop culture examples it gives is Fatal Attraction. When Michael Douglas kills Glenn Close’s character theater audiences full of men would cheer “Kill the bitch!!” Also, when The Accused came out, that audiences would cheer and clap when Jodie Foster’s character is getting gang raped.

Anybody else stalk Feministing as much as I do?
-
I do! it’s my homepage currently. One of my profs was on the Feministing Five so I started following then and have been hooked! Agreed that it can be a total downer…
-
Thats so cool that one of your professors was featured! I definitely agree that Feministing can only be taken in small doses. When I first discovered it I totally had a Feministing overload and couldn’t deal with reading it for months afterward. Still love them though. :)

Oh I love Feministing, it’s really good for short bites of info, rather than massive weighty posts. Do you know Feministe as well? That’s another great site.
-
and if you’re looking more for a gossip magazine version, jezebel is usually entertaining.
AND if you’re into sociology, thesocietypages.org usually has awesome gender/sexuality related posts PLUS loads of other topics.-
Not so into gossip so I never gained an appreciation for Jezebel. But thesocietypages.org is my absolute FAV. I will occasionally browse Feministe.

I haven’t read feministing much, but Shakesville is good and on a more snarky note Pandagon is brilliant.
