Teen Dating Abuse Awareness and Prevention Month

So I kind of haven't been keeping up with my feminist critiques for which I originally made this journal...but if it makes me feel better, I still think about them frequently and have a whole list of awesomeness to someday blog about (OMG HnA is a TREASURE TROVE PEOPLE). I've also been meaning to post an essay I've been working on about domestic

Nice! Would love to read your critiques/analyses of HnA if you find the time to write any!!

...I remember watching Hanadan and being really shocked and appalled during the scene (early on in the series) when Domyouji sends off a couple guys to 'take care of her,' which we later find out could have involved rape! And Domyouji is just like whatever! UGH.

I heard someone say the Gantz manga is pretty bad too, but I've never read it :/

Gah! I remember that part! >.< The whole thing is so out of control - I mean he actually hits one of those annoying mean girls at one point and the girl is like "OMG!! YAY1! HE HIT ME!!" -- I understand that that's suppose to be funny, but really, really, really it's not. I remember sitting there and being unable to comprehend how this could be broadcast. So bad.

I haven't read Gantz either but I wouldn't be surprised at all! It's amazing what you find when you take the time to look into it!

I've been meaning to do some write-ups. That show constantly blows my mind in terms of the things it brings up about gender roles! And Mote Dame Arashi! Who DOESN'T want to throw guys into ice cold water for saying douchey things?! XD
