I want to start a conversation about re-thinking ethics, culture, black/white thinking, and ethical dilemmas. These will be broad discussion with a few examples.

Can one make an ethical decision based on how they feel something is just wrong? Instead of reflecting on the position of where the culture is? Is it okay to say that "xyz" is just plain wrong? I take the position of yes, it is.

So ... discuss!

Checking our own language and how we approach other people's experiences is important. For myself, once I figured out that I was oppressed in certain respects and privileged, I was able to easily put myself in other's shoes and take a step back. From there, I could then stop blaming individual's for certain situations they are and look at the big picture.

I expanded and provided explanation to why and how alcohol is a feminist issue. It is in many aspects an needs to be critiqued if we want to change the world, build strong communities and support one another.

How can we, on the left, look at alcohol in a constructive way and be aware its reality and addiction?

This is good to keep in mind when liberals, radicals, anarchists, anyone on the left is doing things within their communities, being an activist, their daily lives, etc, etc ...

As a witness to some of the events this past week in St Paul, I wanted to write about it. As well as having friends who were arrested, in jail and looking at prison sentences, I took it more personal.

(I wrote this before I went)

Society is:

It's all about power and greed, profit before people all over the place. It's sad and it makes me so angry. We're in this huge cycle of capitalists who want to globalize the rest of the world to live like America does. That's invading other cultures, people's ways of life because WE THINK it's for the better. It's not, it's destructive towards human existence, the environment and our resources. We need to fucking cut back. We need to realize that everything can't stay the same, we're dying ... and it's all because we think capitalism is for the best. It makes me angry, so angry. Anger for the exploitation of people, the earth, cultures, resources, blah blah ... anger that my daughter is growing up in a place of such huge commodity consumption, a place that we think we need all this shit to survive. We don't. I think one thing that would help is to live more like how we used to years ago. I love the concept (which is already happening) of Eco-Communities. Perhaps one day I will be a part of one, living with others collectively, using resources collectively, gardening, pot-lucking together ... a close-knit community.

This will be an amazing experience for me, I know it will be.

The paper I want to present at the 2007 Red River Women’s Conference will have a radical feminist approach and/or view on Single Parenting, as well as touch on ageism. Ageism will touch on taking charge of reproductive rights (and radically defending them!) at any age, being a former teen parent and dealing with "what age is right for becoming/being a mom?" (Is there REALLY one?) There are many taboos in our own modern society about being a feminist, a mother – especially a single mother, as well as dealing with others in society who look down at teen parenting, especially mothers. This is a topic rarely brought up in a positive way and I think a conference like this would really be something that could benefit from it.

I am a feminist. A single mother, pro-choice radical feminist. For SO many different reasons and I am NOT scared that being a feminist will coin me under some "title".

I have found it funny, the people I've run across who claim to be liberal and progressive think that reverse racism is a true thing, that claiming someone to be "chinese american/black/gay/trans and proud" is the same as what the KKK did and are doing.

Why I love my girl-moms.

Girl-mom took part with the US Social Forum in Atlanta on June 27, 2007 to July 1, 2007. Hopefully there will one yearly, hopefully in the midwest this next year!

The organizations who wrote the brfefing book on reproductive rights and freedom want girl-mom to contribute. I had post this, though: (my wonderful single mama, med student friend wrote up the questions.)
