Is ______ A Feminist Character?

This dude was happily taking pictures of girls legs, feet and whatever else he pleased without their consent. So I snapped my own pic and said “enjoy the internet motherfucker’. He laughed at me. Plz share. #publicshame #newYork #subway

kristen loves women and she doesn’t take shit

It’s wonderful how much of this game she is not playing.

Plot twist: The next companion is a normal girl/boy who only dies once in their lifetime and has no remarkable back story but he thinks they’re wonderful because they are human and the Doctor needs reminding that you don’t need to be a mystery to be remarkable. 

#and the doctor never has to kiss them or sexualize them at all #in fact they are not even attracted to the doctor

so basically we want Donna back

Libertine (UK)

There’s a new mag in town:
Libertine magazine: “for interested women”

founder and editor Debbi Evans explains:
“to redefine the ‘women’s interest’ category. In addition to luxury lifestyle content we cover tech, science and business, and celebrate high achieving maverick women for the contents of their brains, not their beds. There is no fashion or beauty content in issue 1, unless you count a piece on the semiotics of handbags. There’s nothing like it, and we’re really excited (and relieved!) to have finally got it out there.”

To say I looked up to Ramona Quimby would be, in fact, incorrect. I did not look up to Ramona. I looked directly at Ramona, square in the eyeholes, and saw myself. She was fiesty and independent, curious, tomboyish, always getting into trouble, always not understanding the elements of the adult world that were closed off to her, or the tiring etiquette of everyday life. She cried too, and felt left out, and had crushes and got grossed out and smashed an egg on her head. I didn’t want to be Ramona Quimby. I already was Ramona Quimby. And still am, I think.

Riese and Laneia have a lovely post over at Autostraddle talking about some of the girls from classic YA and children’s lit that we all looked up to, wished we could be, or felt we were.

I think this description of Ramona Quimby perfectly captures my own feelings about that character. Ramona was eager (often over-eager), curious, frustrated, anxious, caring, and overall real.

When I read Beverly Cleary’s childhood memoir, A Girl From Yamhill, a few years ago I was not surprised to learn that much of what Ramona experiences was drawn directly from Cleary’s own girlhood.
