Feminism isn't dead. It just isn't very cool anymore. Enter Full Frontal Feminism, a book that embodies the forward-looking messages that author Jessica Valenti propagates on her popular website, Feministing.com.

Covering a range of topics, including pop culture, health, reproductive rights, violence, education, relationships, and more, Valenti provides young women a primer on why feminism matters.

Valenti knows better than anyone that young women need a smart-ass book that deals with real-life issues in a style they can relate to. No rehashing the same old issues. No belaboring where today's young women have gone wrong. Feminism should be something young women feel comfortable with, something they can own. Full Frontal Feminism is sending out the message to readers ? yeah, you're feminists, and that's actually pretty frigging cool.

Full Frontal Feminsim

Jessica Valenti has educated me on what young women are experiencing today in terms of mixed messages from our society. The book is positive. I would recommend it to older women as much as younger women and teens. I purchased a copy for a 19 yo girl friend to read. Times have changed, and not necessarily for the better, since my teenhood in the 70's.


American feminism comes to a screeching halt at the Rio Grande River

Full Frontal Foreign Women: A Young Man's Guide to Why American White Middle Class Feminism is Irrelevant

I am a young American man who made his mint in NYC and then moved to Central America 3 years ago. In the world outside of her failing feminist experiment, here are some facts for Valenti to brood over:

American women have a bad publicity problem, and rightly so.

Feminism does not matter, modern or otherwise. No need to define, redefine, remake, figure out, wonder about, or consider at all.

Whatever momentum your "movement" has, it comes to a screeching halt at the Rio Grande.

Folks around here never did see feminism as a threat or as powerful but merely as an annoyance while living in the U.S. and now, well, its just a source of humor. Plus you never have to concern yourselves with mens' rights activists in this brave new world; they simply don't exist...imagine that.

Yep, your speeches, books, articles only apply to a few middle class elitists; a mere plop in the bucket relative to the women on the entire planet. Here in the good ol' third world I and my fellow Americans (there are many here now, some with PFSD) are immersed in bevies of femininity and we do not respect or acknowledge or abide by the following:

Work life balance
Repro rights
Diversity
IMBRA
Marriage Broker Regulation Act
Inclusion
Stay at home moms
Body image
Political correctness
Title IX
Take your daughters to work
Affirmative action
Tahirih Justice Center
Maternity leave
Cultural Marxism
Ms Foundation
Third party childcare
Paternity leave
Linda Hirshman
Male bashing
Opt out myth
Having it all
Bonnie Erbe
Pay equity
Gloria Steinem
Fish riding bicycles
National Organization for Women
Takes a village
Mommy track
Biological clock
Gender
Wage gap
Gender role
Career vs family
Cultural Marxism (repeated)
Political correctness (repeated)
...and blah blah, ecchh

Because WE DON'T HAVE TO!!

Third World Women
The Manipulated Man
