an all-round feminist day

Blog Against Sexism Day now has over 230 260 announced participants and more keep announcing their posts! The great thing about this project is how varied the voices are. Priests and aetheist moms. Vegans and hunters. Wimmin, genderQueers, men and others. The voices are incredibly diversified and i, for one, think its great! Its nice to see so much internal critique and dialogue as well as a general call-to-action and speaking-out.

Posts are coming in from the US, the UK, India, Romania, Netherlands, Italy, France, Canada, Spain, Hungary, and so many other places around the globe. The participation and experience has been far beyond my original expectations. And i thank all of you who have made this happen.

In addition to coming on the heels of the Blank Noise Project’s blogathon against street harassment and “eve’s teasing”, which i posted an entry for yesterday, today the tenth edition of the Carnival of Feminists was released over at indianwriting. Wow, so much great stuff to read. Seems like we could stay on this topic for quite some time (admittedly that was my original intent when starting such a project… HA you all fell for it:). I hope you are all enjoying this as much as i am. And i hope these initial conversations will go on to become so much more complex and liberating. Here’s to dreaming!
