\nIt’s International Women’s Day<\/a>. I thought the best way to celebrate it at this blog was to whack up a photo of a naked man. See, feminism IS fun.<\/p>\n

Actually, I found this bit of information on the IWD site quite interesting:<\/p>\n

Many women’s groups around the world who understand, respect and chose to honour the history and progress made by the suffragettes use purple as their predominant representative colour.<\/p>\n

The use of pink for girls and blue for boys represents the unfortunate gender socialisation and female oppresion that occurs at a very early age. Thus many feminists historically decried the use of pink to represent females.<\/p>\n

Of course there is nothing wrong with the colour pink – it’s just that when it is used to positively represent women it in fact does quite the opposite.<\/p>\n

Purple is the correct colour to be used if representing women’s advancement. Purple with green represents traditional feminism, purple with gold represents progressive contemporary feminism.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now, you’ll notice that this blog is pretty damned purple. And the whole of Ms Naughty Porn for Women is purple. You’ll also notice that For The Girls goes in for a hell of a lot of purple as well.<\/p>\n

That’s because I love this colour. AND surveys have shown it’s a favourite of many women.<\/p>\n

And now I find that it’s the most feminist colour you can get.<\/p>\n

Right on, sisters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
