1. Sisterhood Is (Still) Powerful: http://bit.ly/cI0U10

After reading this I’ve come to realize that throughout my 19 years of living my strongest friendships have been with males. Only a few friendships with females have lasted to the present. I honestly believe it’s hard to find women that you can truly connect with because yes , some of us are bitches, and some of us are backstabbing mean girls. But in my first year of college at CSU Long Beach, i took a Women’s Studies course called Women and Their Bodies. There i found women my age who i could talk to about the issues surrounding women; some of them shared my personal struggles and concerns. It was then when i realized that i wasn’t standing alone as a woman, i could open up my heart and relieve myself of the burden that had been hunting me for weeks. In a way i felt a spiritual change when i engaged with other women and discussed our different views on Pregnancy/Abortion, Romantic Relationsips,Sexual Harassment (to name a few). It was nice to hear their opinions even if they were different from mine, it made me embrace their opinions even more. I felt that “sisterhood” when we had discussions, i felt empowered at the end of every class and it made me realize how important it is to have friendships with women. Although i find it really disappointing that i don’t have a sisterhood with my own sisters. They are the “mean backstabbing bitches” that i hate. We have completely different values and morals, simply different ways of thinking and living life. They have no interest in furthering their education or even having a career. I admit that i get along better with my brother because we think alike and both are in college and want to have careers. I hope to overcome the disconnection i have with my sisters someday, but for now I’ll continue to search for women and men i can relate to. -M.F.

2. Interview with Veteran Feminist Zoe Nicholson: http://bit.ly/c0FBj9

I agree with the previous comment; feminism issues are very similar to as of homosexuals. If we were all created equally and should be treated equally, so there should not be any exception. I believe that the idea of feminism has a lot in common with humanism and/or sexism. Also, women who are already being privileged of equal rights are less likely to be willing to fight for feminism, which is not good, because they are being focused mostly by the mass med.
