Feminism 101

"I think it should be called an ovester instead of a semster" - Legally Blonde. Classic "Straw Feminist" line, but that's not what this blog is about. I just like to promote different feminist ideas and discussions with an emphasis and intersectionality.

I’m not anti-technology, I just think there’s something deeply sick about a society where robots make art and children work in factories.

Well shit, Henry Jenkins, out here in 1997 dropping truth bombs

[addressmysol]

Oh hey I need this for a research paper I'm writing, thank you!

[angstbotfic]

i mean he had been out here since 1988 dropping such bombs:

"'fandom' is a vehicle of marginalized subcultural groups (women, the young, gays, etc.) to pry open space for their cultural concerns within dominant representations; it is a way of appropriating media texts and rereading them in a way that serves different interests, a way of transforming mass culture into a popular culture"

Jenkins, Henry. “Star Trek Rerun, Reread, Rewritten: Fan Writing as Textual Poaching.” Critical Studies in Mass Communication 5, no. 2 (1988): 85–107. https://doi.org/10.1080/15295038809366691.  

there are even some earlier works in fan studies but that’s what i have ready to hand.

Neko Case sings in Bad Luck, “so I died, and went to work”. I think about that song a lot.
