For Your Viewing Pleasure

Posted by Pilgrim Soul in Thoughts, Beauty Culture, Feminism, Rants, Stereotypes, The Media, Violence against women and girls, Womanism on May 5, 2010, 1:00pm | 6 comments

I am just out of things to say lately, about the world or anything else.  And my parents are visiting, and we’re all tired and run down around here.  So!  A roundup of cool YouTube videos I’ve had linked for awhile!

Nuala Cabral – Walking Home – a great piece on street harassment, highly recommended.



Staceyann Chin – Am I a Feminist, or a Womanist?

Amalia Ortiz – Some Days

Wanda Sykes – Detachable Vaginas

    I’ve lost track of how many times I have seen that Wanda Sykes clip. I still bust out laughing every time.

    I have the biggest crush, ever, on Staceyann Chin. She is such a badass.
