  • The CA State House: Stop AB-2540 from adding state sales tax to live theatre tickets
    Elisa commented on the petition | about 1 month ago

    It lacks fairness to tax live theatre, but not opera, concerts and sporting events. Especially since the latter two are likely run by for-profit ventures, as opposed to may live theatre producers.

  • Finding the Feminism In Motherhood
    Elisa commented on the article | about 3 years ago

    Nice article Julie. I was just talking with a fellow child-free blogger last night about how so many "all of us" issues" are being painted as mom issues...alienating those of us who are not moms.
    On a similar note, something I brought up at the Fem 2.0 conference in February was that some feminist "all of us" issues are painted as liberal-only issues, alienating women who might not self-identify as liberal, but certainly believe in many feminist principles.
    Are we, as feminists, willing to encourage their support on those issues, even if we violently disagree with them on other issues (oh, let's say choice, as an example). I think we must.
    Often say: Women are not some monolithic bloc who think...or vote...alike, but we can leverage common ground where it exists.
    I do have a question about the stats in your first paragraph. You say:
     53.5% of women are mothers
    and
    80% of women have children
    I don't understand how those two stats co-exist?
    Thanks for clarifying!

    Thanks for the shout-out, Stephanie. I kicked myself for days and days after missing his SF talk. Thanks for the links! Still waiting for my copy in the mail, and still thinking who is the best person for me to give the second copy too.
