Steak & Potatoes of Woman Positive Media

Media and women go together like steak and potatoes. We consume media; we consume women in the media. But how do we eat our dinners when there's nothing but skinny scraps of potato skins on our plates? What are we supposed to survive on?

I am not a lifeless piece of food. I would like a little more, please. And I would like some decent role models.

Devoted to the promotion of positive female images in media, I dedicate this blog to feminists and non-feminists alike who are tired of the one-dimensional, celebrity driven, beauty obsessed representations of women.

As a feminist and a critic of mainstream media and pop culture, I will discuss current events from a feminist point of view: what helps us, what hinders us, and what progress is being made in woman positive entertainment and news.

I welcome any kick-ass women resisting and creating their own forms of media.

We are fierce. We are radical. Advertisements, news articles, videos: beware.
