Celebrating Women - 27 March 2004

Nice article by Laura Flanders in the Guardian about Bush's crappy to non-existent feminist credentials. Ruth Rosen gives a nice plug to Flanders' new book Bushwomen, as does Susan Douglas. Flanders' eponymous website is worth checking out as well.

And an update to yesterday's post - Mark Kleiman has, in the comment section and his blog, confirmed that Kelly is his sister, and suggested I reread her essay, which I now have and, you know, she really does answer all the "but what about...?" questions I had. Worth a second glance, and a second plug. I'm still not totally sure that "Men dressing as women are dressing down," considering the Freestyle dressing movement and a certain "executive transvestite" whom I consider fairly aware of gender issues, but she makes some persuasive points and good connections.
