Feminist Fare Friday: The Comeback Edition

It's baaaa--aaack!

You know you've missed it. I know I have missed compiling these round-ups of the best feminist writing of the week. And yes, I know, I could just post the articles on Facebook and leave it at that, but come on, tell the truth. How many links do you save and then never go back and read? If you are anything like me, there are a lot, and then FB reminds me that I haven't read them yet and makes me feel bad about myself for not following through. 

DAMN YOU FACEBOOK!

Not so with #FeministFareFriday. It's all curated and collected right here for you to peruse at your leisure, and I promise I won't badger you about it. 

Anywhoo.... today's Feminist Fare is brought to you by this oldie, but a goodie from Jay Smooth. 

Enjoy!

1. Alicen Grey wrote this piece on Medium in response to another one she wrote about male feminists... And you can probably guess where THAT ONE went in the comments.#notallmen #YESallmen

2. Almost everything that Rebecca Woolf, aka GirlsGoneChild, writes has me sitting up straighter in my chair, and nodding along in righteous agreement. This #backtoschool piece over at Mom.me is no different.

3. Things you don't want to do in this life.... Piss off Alexandra Petri at the Washington Post. Because if you do, she is then going to write the most epic response to your DUMBASS "advice" for how to talk to women wearing headphones.

**I really need this piece to be turned into some kind of spoken word performance ART!!**

4.  SO MANY VAGENDA OF MANOCIDE JOKES! (That a lot of dudes didn't seem to get....hmmmm.) I liked Sara Schaefer's the best. It's going to be a busy day!!

5.  I've saved what I think is the best for last. Because never, in all my years on the internet, have two sentences spoken to me so strongly as these ones that Asher Wolf wrote in her post, "Fuck You, I'd Spit in Your Cupcakes" .

Bonus post: I love when The Oatmeal writes/draws these kinds of posts.... because, yeah, I too am perfectly unhappy. I think we should embrace this philosphy more, I bet we'd all be a bit happier. Ummm wait, I mean...

Oh, whatever, you'll get it!

Love ya kids.
