As mentioned earlier, on June 23 I’ll be hosting the fifth Feminist Carnival of Sexual Freedom and Autonomy. Because that’s a mouthful (but a good one, because it describes the carnival accurately!), from here on out I’ll be calling it the feminist sex carnival.
I said in my previous post on the matter that I would try to think of some specific themes I’d like to address in the carnival. Well, I’ve tried, and I can’t think of any. And anyway, I think there are so many important issues to talk about that I don’t want my call for submissions to feel limiting in any way. So, if you have written or plan to write something pertaining to sexuality, feminism, gender, etc., send in your submission to amberlr [at] gmail [dot] com, or mark the post for me in del.cio.us. You can (and should) also submit posts by your favorite bloggers.
The carnival’s mission statement, again:
Sex Positive Feminists (or sex-radical, pro-sex or sexually liberated feminists) believe that women’s sexual freedom is an essential part of women’s autonomy. Any legal or social control or regulation over the sexual self is an attempt to control and regulate women, undermines their freedom and infringes upon their human rights. We are interested in promoting sex workers’ rights, sex education in schools, and we encourage the free expression of sexualities.
I wonder, should I upgrade my blog to Wordpress 2.5.1 before the carnival, or after? Hmm…
(That’s a rhetorical question. I don’t actually want input about what I should or shouldn’t do w/ my Wordpress installation.)
