The politics of pop culture

Team Queer blog post by La Macha, January 6, 2009 - 1:49pm; tagged arab, dixie chicks, feminism, Gaza, Palestine, pop culture, yoko ono.

As I mentioned before, I've been really struggling to stay on course when it comes to blogging these days. My heart is in Gaza right, now, but my fingers tell me I must be here, in front of the computer, writing essays about everything except Gaza.

I'm thankful for the opportunity that Bitch has provided me here. A chance to at least meld what is going on in my life with what I'm "supposed" to be doing--talking about pop culture. Debbie's support at this difficult time has meant the world to me.

A Little More Consideration for Women in Film in 2008

The Female Gaze blog post by Tammy Oler, January 5, 2009 - 7:57pm; tagged Asia Argento, cadillac records, darnell martin, frozen river, Happy-Go-Lucky, Kelly Reichardt, melissa leo, michelle williams, Sally Hawkins, The Last Mistress, Wendy and Lucy.

The Last MistressThe run up to the Oscars is dominated by best-of lists, and - with few exceptions (including the Women Film Critics Circle Awards) - most of those lists end up looking just about the same: dominated by men, featuring only a small handful of female performers. Which is why it was so exciting this past weekend to see The New York Times list of the year's best. While not quite chock full of women, the list does draw attention to some fine filmmaking and performances by women that are not likely to draw attention at the major awards ceremonies this year. If you missed any of these in the theaters last year, you'll want to make sure to add them to your DVD queues this year.  Highlights after the jump...

Femident Toothpaste: For women with teeth

Love / Shove blog post by Kelsey Wallace, January 5, 2009 - 4:47pm; tagged Flight of the Conchords, gender in advertising.

Flight of the Conchords

On the newest episode of Flight of the Conchords, Brett and Jemaine write a jingle for Femident, a new brand of toothpaste that is just for women. True to Conchords form, the song is cute, funny, and sensitive to a woman's [dental] needs. Check it out and give your thoughts after the jump!

Beyonce Isn't Afraid to Get Ugly on New Track

Love / Shove blog post by Ehren Gresehover, January 2, 2009 - 3:21pm; tagged Beyonce, Diva, music videos.

A lot has been said (including on this blog) about the sort of affable empowerment that is ubiquitous in Beyonce's chart-busting hits, especially on her latest record, I Am... Sasha Fierce, but the third single, "Diva" is more "fierce" than what you might expect.   More after the jump.

Why Every Guy Should Buy Their Girlfriend Wii Fit and Feminist Subversion?

Team Queer blog post by La Macha, January 2, 2009 - 11:57am; tagged feminist responses, sexism, Vlogging, wii fit, youtube.

I've been really surprised to find the extent that the vloggers of the world have embraced Wii Fit as a subject of discussion. The topics range anywhere from how much Wii Fit sucks, to simple instructions, to why men should buy their girlfriends Wii Fit. Guess which topic gets the most attention?

From a very limited google search that I conducted (I mean *very* limited) it appears that the following video began a craze of random videos of boyfriends/partners recording girlfriends rotating their hips while wearing underwear.
