Hiya, if you are doing a piece that refers to feminism which resource do you use to see whats hot and whats not, IYSWIM?

Are there any reputable online feminist sites for instance that publish cutting edge stuff?

Thanks in advance

It's the steroids.

am not a journo

I would imagine that offline sources were more likely to be cited like the US magazines and the (few) UK ones

It would depend on the context though wouldn't it?

Did you see the article in the Fawcett society mag which mentioned Mumsnet?

why the steroids btw

morningpaper · 11/09/2007 20:38

by context I mean it would depend whether you were going for something academic or something popular/grass roots

article.

As if feminism is about whether one 'can' go to lap-dancing clubs. Is not as bad as I remembered but I was apoplectic that the Obs Woman was yet again a huge spread of fashion and make-up.

Because there's nothing else that women want to read, right?

Well if they weren't about the latest trend for slouchy bags......
(Sorry, though.)

Oh, hello MT, sorry, missed this - left that thread and have been doing some RL. Um, I'd start with the Fawcett Society. And then scratch my head a bit and email MI, probably! I don't really write about feminism as a subject, I specialise in one area IYSWIM.
