Super fun poll time: Where do you get your feminist news?

Just wondering... And please, share your fave feminist new sources in comments. (Or shamelessly self-promote your feminist blog, mag, etc!)

Bitch magazine! Occasionally BUST.

Not kissing up but I get most of mine here and at Feministe and Bitch PhD.

I love Bitch magazine! I read the WIP, and Women & Hollywood blog for movie news.

And Feministing.

I don't mean to be an annoying kiss-ass, but... ehmm... Feministing is probably my main source of feminist news :) I read some other feminist blogs as well, but only you guys religiously. Because, you know, you guys are awesome!

Feministing. I often follow links to other blogs from this site, but Feministing is always the start point.

Mostly blogs, for me. I read this site religiously (and the community site!), Shakesville, and Feministe.

I also check Google News for feminist and other liberal news items, and blog about them over at the GWIRE (shameless plug), and the Feministing community site.

Um… you?

I shouldn't have been surprised to see the high number for "blogs". The thing this group has in common, after all, is reading a prominent feminist blog.

[0+] Author Profile Page LittlePunk replied to Bethany :

Though also, I think it's hard to find feminist perspectives in the other forms of media (they exist- they're just rare).

Feministing, of course - but also alternet.org has a good Sex/Relationships section with interesting articles. AND I occasionally post feminist-related blurbs (i.e. "Bridewars" rant) on my blog: egreteffects.blogspot.com

for American feminist news, I use feministing, and sometimes email alerts by FMF and NOW, also emails from my mom, sister, or friends.

for Iranian feminist news, I check a few websites (and some weblogs, but mostly websites), and also email alerts and newsletters.

Feministing & the f word, really.

I also read salon's Broadsheet & get e-mails from Equality Now.

You. And then I treat myself to Bitch magazine when I've been bad.

[0+] Author Profile Page marj said:

Feministing is my main source. After that, Feministe and womanist-musings. Bitch magazine ocasionally.

Bitch Magazine, Feministing, Feministe, Womanist Musings...

And I basically use Twitter as a news feed to get updates from NPR, the ACLU, the NYT, Huff Po, Treehugger, etc.

And on the topic of blogs, I love I Blame the Patriarchy, even though I often disagree with her. Twisty kicks some serious ass.

Here for daily stuff. I also like Bitch and Bust, though Bust seems to have gotten to be more about knitting and indie rock artists? Which are both great things, but not exactly news...

The feminist blogs in my rss reader are:

Feministing, Feministing Community, Feministe, TN Guerilla Women, Abyss2hope, Pinktank, and BitchPHD

granted, the survey population is most likely skewed toward blogreaders as people who see the survey are... blogreaders!

My mum.

Big in the feminism movement in the late seventies and early eighties. I ingested it along with her milk, I think.

Shamelessness first: Evil Slutopia.

In addition to reading feministing and lots of other blogs, we've found that Twitter can be a really good way to get an idea of what's going on and what others are reading/writing about. There are plenty of great feminists and feminist orgs on there.

Well, since my blog is new and can use all the readers I can bring my way, I'm going to shamelessly self-promote: http://feministchristian.blogspot.com/

Other than that, this site, feministe, shameless, birth pangs, breadandroses. Also, I find Chatelaine magazine to be an interesting source of feminist news. They had an article on maternity leave in Canada a few months back that was fantastic.

I will shamelessly kiss ass and say... You :)

make/shift, BBC, Times of India, NY Times, Google News, Bitch, AlterNet, Herizons, Briarpatch, In These Times, VenusZine, flip flopping joy, Queeristan, The Apostate, Problem Chylde, Cycads, Womanist Musings, Girl with Pen, Jezebel, Professor What If..., Racialicious, TransGriot... to name a few. What can I say? I'm a voracious reader.

Womanist Musings, Feministe, Feministing (duhz), TransGriot, Racialicious, Professor What If?, Jezebel, Flip Flopping Joy (previously Brown Femi Power), AlterNet, Shakesville...

[0+] Author Profile Page Alisa said:

I'm surprised that more people didn't say Ms. Magazine. Is that news source out of touch with this audience?

I have Ms. as part of my Twitter "news feed," and I usually really enjoy their articles.

Feministing of course! Along with the usual suspects Womanist Musings, Feministe, Shakesville, NOW, FMF, Planned Parenthood, Bust, Bitch, MS.

Also I have to give a special shout out to my blogger gals Hannah, and Erin at the excellent Choice USA Blog.

And what would this comment post be without a shameless self promotion of my own feminist, political, and pop culture analysis blog, Arsenic and Glamour : http://arsenicandglamour.blogspot.com
*Due to health concerns and excessive travel as of late I haven't updated in about two months, but there are some things I'm working on now to be posted soon...

Methinks your sample is a bit skewed toward blog readers, for obvious reasons. Are you polling anyone else? I'm not trying to be a pain, I'd really like to see results either way- they'd fit in very well with my dissertation proposal...

I get most of my feminist news right here, on Feministing!
And I won't resist the invitation to shamelessly promote my own feminist blog: http://envisionjustice.livejournal.com

I just made a new blog! I will plug it here!

http://sammylif.wordpress.com/

i really love all the feminist blogs, especially feministing ;-)

[0+] Author Profile Page They are still children said:

I get most of mine here, occasionally popping on menarebetterthanwomen.com to laugh at how pathetic the posters are as they froth at the mouth with their name calling and scramble to gather their rights to enslave us in a world leaning towards females. They are still children who need mommy to make their dinner and clean up, not men. Their poster is not actually Dick Masterson, but Dax Herrera and his glasses and fake mustache are part of the costume.

The internet, mostly blogs, or meta-blogs, like the broadsheet or xx
