(no subject)
So I have a lot of free time. And, because I have a lot of free time, I end up spending a lot of time online, where I encounter a lot of fandom stuff and a lot of sexism/racism/general douchebaggery. I occasionally rant in my LJ and I sometimes do it on tumblr, but I decided to make it a little more formal.
So I started a blog about Feminism and Pop Culture.
Not specifically fandom related (though some things are) but more woman-focused than anything. And since I know a lot of my flist likes to meta/has seen some pretty shitty things in fandom, I figured I'd extend the offer:
Want to talk about the consent/nonconsent argument on "The Vampire Diaries?" Want to rage against the TWOP forums? Want to discuss the fuckery that happened in the wake of Kristen Stewart cheating? If you want to write it and send it to me, I'll put it up on the blog. I can't guarantee anyone will read it (outside of me, of course), but the way I see it, there are a lot of blogs about feminism, a lot of blogs about pop culture, and a lot of blogs about fandom, but not a lot which combine everything (and, no, I am not counting Jezebel.)
I have a lot of feelings, guys, and I know a lot of you guys do too. And even if you don't want to do it, if you know someone who might, send 'em the link. You can either sent it to me via PM or my email me at lit.chick86@gmail.com.
