First World Feminism

What's the point of this website?

A fair question. Two quick answers:

1. Those of us lucky enough to live in the most progressive parts of the world tend to focus on how good we have it, and yet we still haven’t achieved true gender equality.

2. I’m over trying to pitch women’s magazines. I find that if the story isn’t about slimmer thighs for summer, they’re just not interested.

This stuff is important, I’ll try not to make it too dry.

This isn’t so much a feminist issue as an everyone issue (although everyone should be a feminist). Our clean drinking water is in danger, and the organizations fighting to protect it need our help:

Change.org’s Petition against toxic sewage in America’s drinking water

The 2005 Halliburton Loophole that undermines the Safe Drinking Water Act and what you can do about it

The powerful oil and gas industry lobby and the activists that take them on
