Ladies and gentledudes, I am really really happy to be able to let you know that the Awesome New Project I’ve been talking about lately is up and running! Come check out Feminist Ire:
We are feminists.
We are Irish, or Irish-ish, or based in Ireland.
We want to create a space for those on the margins and between the lines. We want to question traditional ideas about identity, about sexuality, about who we are and where we should be going.
We would like a nice cup of tea.
We have some fantastic, opinionated, articulate people writing over there. I’m incredibly excited (in case you hadn’t guessed already) about creating a new space for progressive Irish feminism.
If that wasn’t enough for you? How about checking out my first Feminist Ire post, in which I give Dan Savage a stern talking to about the difference between outreach and research, and why it matters to take bi kids at their word.
Dan, as activists and people who reach out to kids, our purpose isn’t to prove ourselves right. Our purpose isn’t rigorous study design and eliminating false positives. Our purpose is to be heard by the people who need to hear us. It’s to let them know that they’re not alone, and that there are others like them out there.
When one of the major difficulties a group faces is doubt over their very existence, then we need to stand up for that existence.
You know you want to check it out.

Oh, gosh, brilliant name, and sounds like a wonderful project. I’ve subscribed to the feed, looking forward to reading them all!
I do believe I do want to check it out and subscribe.
wow, dying to have a read. We need more feminism!!
Always looking for smart, clued-in, articulate guest posters, of course. Just by the way. Thought I’d mention it.
What a great project, does having a special place for Ireland in your heart count? (My first bf was Irish, well, technically half Irish, but he lived there while we dated, and I loooooved Ireland so much).
