Sooo how do you ladies deal with men who think that feminism is personally attacking them, and not the overarching patriarchal system and society?
-
I have a Master’s in Women’s Studies and I…never really figured this one out. I would just try to explain to them very quickly and generally that it’s not about criticizing individual people, but rather the systems and structures of society. After that, if they still feel personally offended and defensive, then honestly, you’re better off…[Read more]

What really pisses me off is when they openly recognize class privilege but when it comes to racism/sexism, you can get them to admit that it exists but it’s like “well yeah it exists, but youre just being sensitive. lololol :) i looovvveee women tho, im not sexist so I dont wanna worry about it”
It’s just shitty when you expect more out of them.…[Read more]-
Yeah, that is especially frustrating. I guess this is another version of what Annika called The Douchebag Purge. Now you know who the douches are, so you can know not to fully trust them or just avoid them altogether!

I am moving back to Melbourne after 7 years in Germany and 2 before that in Sydney. I am nervous and excited at the same time. It’s a good thing that summer’s coming to the ‘arse end of the world’, cos I’m hoping that’s going to make the move less painful. So where are the dykes of smelbourne hanging out these days?
-
I will be spending time in Melbourne soon and would also like to know the answer to this question.
-
BUELLER?
-
moving back to australia?ahh I thought I finally found somebody from Vienna on here….
I just moved to the city:)-
sorry, mate! Thanks also for reminding me to update my profile. The Vienna stop was a while ago. You’ll be fine; there are lots of nice queeries in Vienna. Places to go: the Villa Magdalena (the best place to drop into to grab flyers and find out about what’s on), Marea Alta, Gumpendorfer Straße 28 – cute bar, nice people, and EdieundMarie, run…[Read more]
-
cheers!:)I’ll check these places out.
-
pretty awesome that your updated profile says now ‘Hamburg,Germany’…lived there ’till I moved to Vienna.
-
are you stalking me? :)
-
oh yes.
next destination: melbourne,Oz
(actually spent jan-march2011 there. so, you might be stalking me,huh?)-
I have no idea any more. I have actually lived in Hamburg for 7yrs. This year I was in Oz also Jan-Feb, then Mar-June in Wien for work. Then I was all over the farken place for a while and am back in HH to pack up my stuff for good.
One more tip for Wien: Fett und Zucker. Hollandstraße 16, 1020. Nice cafe, queer cake-bakers. GREAT if you or…[Read more]

I will continue stalking your profile….someday we might be in the same city at the same time.

Hi :) Anyone from *cough* Radelaide??
-
I am :)
-
Oh cool, nice to meet you, fellow Radelaidean :)
-
-
Two new Rads?! What’s the bet we all know a common lesbian?
-
Adelaide – 4 degrees of separation, Lesbians in Adelaide – 1 degree of separation!?!?!
-
-
Radelaide! (don’t hide behind a cough, Radelaide is nothing to be ashamed of… you could be living in Wagga Wagga ; )
-
Haha! I cough because Rads know how rad Radels is (in that familiar, comforting radelicious way), but others may not be aware of the radness ya know?
-
Lovely alliteration there.
So where you from, North, South, West, East?
-
-
-
Anyone heading to or keen to go to the Jezebels next week? I am having no luck convincing anyone to go. My friends… such bad taste in music, le sigh.
-
I’ll be there. Having friends with bad music taste is always disappointing.
-
I would have gone, alas, I’ll be at the KI surf music fest..! It will be a great show – enjoy!
-
How was the show? Anyone planning on going to the BDO?
-
BDO – no one there excites me enough to fork out the money for it. Laneway ftw
-
Yeh, I agree. The line up is below average for next year.
-
BDO hasn’t been very good for a few years now.
Laneway is usually better but I can’t believe Feist isn’t playing Adelaide next year :(-
Playing a side show but it’s quite expensive.
-
Indeed. Why do all the festivals and bands come in Jan-March when I’m still recovering financially from xmas!
Any Adeladies going to Picnic on Sunday?
-
I’ll be going – have you been to much during feast this yr?
-
I mainly go to comedy things. I went to The Comedy Gayla, Lori Bell and the Gay Debate last night. You?
You might spot me at picnic, I’ll be wearing an ultra gay Autostraddle Tshirt probably ha
-

How much are Feist tickets by themselves? I just got a Laneway-Feist double ticket. Also, “queer-identified” band Austra are going to be there, they’re pretty awesome!
http://www.afterellen.com/people/2011/03/an-interview-with-katie-stelmanis-of-austra?page=0,0
Haven’t been to much Feast unfort and busy on Sunday too :(
-
I’m pretty sure they are about $75 by themselves, how much was the double ticket?
Haven’t heard of Austra, I’ll give them a listen.
Ohnoes how can you be busy on picnic day?!-
The double ticket was $154, not bad considering tickets to Laneway are $115 by themselves. A bit sneaky.. what is it about festivals not having headliners but having side acts (like Kanye) – a money thing I presume? At any rate, I love Feist so much, I would probably prefer to see her in intimate concert anyhow!! Have fun at picnic :)
