haha, not ridiculous. i have a tendency to not explain things when i mention them.
femsex is short for Female Sexuality. it's a student-facilitated course about empowerment. subjects covered include: contraception, STIs, body image, anatomy, gender, violence against womyn, womyn's health and menstruation, power and privilege, communication, relationships, self-pleasure, sexual practices and orientation, reproductive choice, motherhood, and a lot more. it's mostly discussion-based, so i don't teach it so much as i facilitate conversation in which students learn from each other. we try our best to create a safe space where womyn feel like they can share and not be judged. it's really, really amazing and such a life-changing experience. this is my fourth semester facilitating and it's always a different experience. it sort of rocks.
it was started at my school (UC Berkeley) 15 years ago, and has since spread to several other schools. it's kind of exciting. =D

what exactly is femsex?
as far as i can tell [ahem, have googled] it's about female sexuality, but that's pretty much all i can find. and that's so non-specific.
