Summer 98

“I see my body everywhere: tortured, strangled, mutilated, raped, on posters, in movies, in magazines. Men get defensive. They’re just images, it’s not real. But they are women’s bodies, my body. Anonymous, faceless, they represent everywoman. Real women, they say, are in those magazines we’re supposed to buy; they are in the magazines full of advice. Telling us what we should look like. The real women are caked with make up, air-brushed, surgically altered, posed. I look at them, I don’t see myself.”

  "Leftgrrls believes that women have as many opinions as faces. I also believe that women are tough, smart, dedicated and determined. I created this webring to bring together feminists who share some common thoughts ~ particularly pro-choice and independent political thinking.”

  “I feel that the word “feminist” has many negative connotations, and that the fear many people have of identifying as “feminist” (and having others automatically make negative assumptions based on the negative connotations) is one of the reasons for a lack of unity among people who believe in women’s rights.”
