Sex/uality Film Festival
Here’s an interesting event:
This week’s Feminist Files
News you can use: I am so deeply sickened by this story, which you may have heard by now, about the middle school girl who was forced to write a letter of apology to her (fellow student) rapist. And we can call him a rapist, because he was convicted of the act in a juvenile…
What you might have missed on The Tired Feminist lately
Just in case you’ve been too busy to keep tabs on The Tired Feminist, here’s a round-up of recent posts: Sexism in the sun-hat aisle? Sounds like another installment of TMF: Tired Marketing FAIL! What do you do when a pastor says The Bible justifies marital rape? When you’re a pastor yourself, you call him…
The Siren goes big time!
Exciting news, Siren readers! Your humble Sin City Siren has been syndicated by Newstex! The organization provides online content to a variety of outlets and organizations including Amazon Kindle, The New York Times, Reuters and LexisNexis. But don’t worry, this won’t change your access to this site. Nothing is going to change for those of…
Bundle of blogs
I’ve been spending so much time working on projects for other people/organizations lately that I have neglected to encourage my own work to grow. So in an effort to tend my own garden a little, I wanted to ask if you are following my blogs on Facebook and Twitter? No? Let me help you out…
Quiet Rrriot
As I write this, everyone is anxiously awaiting the end of the legislature. Bills are bounding through. And the twitter hashtag #nvleg is on fire. I’ve got my eye on it, too. But it ain’t over until it’s over. So, I’m holding out until the real end before I unleash my snark on this beast…
Happy Anniversary!

From The Tired Feminist: Exploring Feminist Motherhood Series
If you haven’t been reading my other blog, The Tired Feminist, you might have missed the 6-part Exploring Feminist Motherhood series. Trust me, it has a lot less to do with Diaper Genies and a lot more to do with feminist discussions that came up during The Sin City Siren Book Club, where we discussed…
This week: #DearJohn, Big Ben, clean girls and High School Feminists
Here are some stories that I couldn’t let go by without comment: The “forcible rape” component of HR3 was removed, but the bill is still alive and looks to codify dangerous anti-choice legislation. The #DearJohn fight is not over. Conflicted about The Superbowl featuring star quarterback who has two allegations of sexual assault within the…
Motherhood: The Fine Print
The Sin City Siren Book Club met on Saturday to discuss Opting In: Having a Child Without Losing Yourself by Amy Richards. Although we had a light but enthusiastic turnout (it was hard to compete with the state budget hearing), it was really great to discuss the book and the tangents it led to —…
