Girls For A Change

NEW VLOG. This month for Miss Representation, I took viewer questions and answered them in a three-part series. Today’s answered questions:

How have you managed to become a feminist expert in only a couple of years?

What is feminism? When is it possible to consider yourself a feminist?

Do you have suggestions for how to break into the sexuality education field?

And: Do you find it easier to be friends with female ex’s over men?

Great Father’s Day and/or Birthday Gift Idea

Tickets on sale now: http://www.campdiva.org/datewithdadtour

datewithdad:

The Camp Diva Board has decided that for the sake of continuity, and in order that the organization remain true to the original vision of the Date with Dad event, to postpone its “Date with Dad Dinner and Dance…Norfolk Style.” After a long discussion, it was realized that hosting it during Father’s Day weekend not only takes the father away from the rest of the family, but it also infringes upon whatever the father may want to do, and defeats Camp Diva’s purpose of bringing fathers together with daughters outside of holidays and other times of year that may naturally bring them together. We also believe that by postponing, we will better be able to bring the full Date with Dad Weekend experience to the Tidewater area and better involve the entire community, which seems to be quite fractured and busy during Father’s Day Weekend with a number of events. We do not want to foster a spirit of competition, but rather togetherness, and with that in mind, we have rescheduled the event for Sunday, September 15, 2013, in the same location, Norfolk State University’s Scott-Dozier Dining Hall. We hope you will still be able to support this event, which again, we think will be even better given additional time to plan and promote.

Great event! Get your tickets!

Harry Potter wizarding genetics decoded
If the wizarding gene is dominant, as J.K. Rowling says in her famous series of Harry Potter books, then how can a wizard be born to muggle parents (non-magical people)? And how can there be squibs (non-magical people born into wizarding lines)?

It seems these baffling genetic questions have finally been answered, thanks to Andrea Klenotiz, a biology student at the University of Delaware.

In a six-page paper, which she sent to Rowling, Klenotiz outlines how the wizarding gene works and even explains why some witches and wizards are more powerful than others.

Read more.

Want science that is even nerdier than the usual? Look no further than Andrea Klenotiz, who explains the wizarding gene in a recent paper.

Wow, this young woman decoded wizard genes from Harry Potter!

doctor who

"I think it’s absolutely time for a female Doctor Who. I’m so sick of that man with his girl sidekick. I could name at least 10 wonderful British actresses who would absolutely kill in that role."

- Helen Mirren on who should play the next Doctor on the BBC’s Doctor Who. (via The Mary Sue)

Hey Whovians…..which female actor would YOU like to see play the Doctor?
