Allison P
Las Vegas, NV
I am mostly a background person- I don't like the spotlight. Still, I have strong beliefs about clarity of speech, honesty, community, critical thinking, and justice that lead me to speak out. My biggest pet peeves are elitism, bigotry, the whitewashing of history, and greenwash marketing tactics within the environmental movement.
I am doctoral student in sociology who had to drop out after losing her job last Fall due to economic layoffs (I plan to return!). I would love the opportunity to live and work on an organic farm so that I can use the firsthand knowledge to develop urban policies that promote and support local farming. I support the distribution of low-cost healthy, whole, organic produce within poor communities.

Allison commented on the article |This sounds like part of the trend of taking personal problems and packaging them for entertainment. Our "Biggest Loser" is in the same vein. However, even though that show exploits personal problems for entertainment, the produces package the program in such a way that the American public doesn't feel dirty for watching them. The Belgium show just seems exploitative with no redeeming factor. A year of housing - and what else? How does the woman get back on her feet again? And why does she have to use her looks to get a home to begin with?

Allison commented on the article |Regan, please explain what you mean by "equalist" and why you think feminism is not about equality. Many people are thrown off by the word "feminism" and think it is about putting women first. Feminism is most definitely about issues of equality. Let's compare notes! :-)
