meta-tastic, but not in a cancer way

[merrily]

It seems I only post these days in order to recommend various things other people have written. I'm busy. I just wrote two midterms. I'm preparing for Christmas rush at my store. And I'm writing other blogs in my spare (ha!) time.

Which is to say, this post is also a rec!post.

Feminism101 (whose author also, it seems, is busy these days and mostly not posting, to my regret) linked to this great set of posts, in which the author explains why she is a feminist, still, and why feminism is important. She tried to boil it down to six key issues, and talk about them without jargon. Highly, highly recommended.

If you think you're not a feminist, you should read these. If you've embraced the term, you should read them too, both to reaffirm, and to give yourself ammunition for the inevitable argument with a friend who claims they're not feminist.

(Right now, as I contemplate Sam & Teyla & Elizabeth in SGA -- who, apparently, couldn't all be in the show at once, because that was too many women -- #4 in this series of posts is most important to me. Dear Joss, I miss Buffy. If there's anything I could do to help get Dollhouse on the air, I would do it. Just tell me. Love, Rachel)
