The latest post that was started a week ago and has sat in the draft pile.....
A new Feminist Frequency video was posted the other day; #6 in her series of media tropes. Anita Sarkeesian discusses the Straw Feminist trope in her usual engaging and clear manner.
I think I have watched all the videos she has out to date and have identified with some part of each one, whether personally or indirectly in my life. I think this is one of my favorites. The trope that feminism = bad/unnecessary/man eater is so damaging to the real of issue of women being oppressed all over the world.
I'm not sure what else to really say about this because she covers as much as I know about the Straw Feminist trope, but I felt the need to share this and hopefully make embedded videos work.
