The Baby Matrix | delusions of equality
https://delusionsofequality.wordpress.com/2013/10/15/the-baby-matrix
Human rights, gender and other important stuff. Yesterday I was reminded again why the world needs feminism. Why everyone, men, women, children do. And how it is sometimes hard when you start seeing gender in everything. And how it permeates so many facets of lives and absolutely every facet of reproduction and child rearing. And how difficult it is to make someone – who does not see the world this way – understand without him or her accusing you of exaggeration. Not that I know of. For the sake of compl...

Mums, Food, Body Image | delusions of equality
https://delusionsofequality.wordpress.com/2013/08/04/mums-food-body-image
Human rights, gender and other important stuff. Mums, Food, Body Image. So, I just read this Jezebel piece. On whether or not parents should force their kids to finish the food on their plates or whether that might push them into an eating disorder. Don’t ask me why I read it, I don’t even have kids I could force feed, it is called P.R.O.C.R.A.S.T.I.N.A.T.I.O.N. That was passed around the internet last month, in which a woman describes how her mum’s own distorted body image influenced her when growing up.

Progression, regression – at least it’s developing? | delusions of equality

Human rights, gender and other important stuff. Progression, regression – at least it’s developing? We wanted to draw attention to a couple of recent events in the struggle for equality. Good news and bad news, but either way it’s good to highlight the wins when they come to give context to any steps back that may happen in other areas. Just keeping on walking. For those with scarce time.). Final thing to draw to your attention – the Swedish riksdag (parliament) today signed into law legislation. You are...

One size fits all – or else | delusions of equality
https://delusionsofequality.wordpress.com/2014/01/06/one-size-fits-all-or-else
Human rights, gender and other important stuff. One size fits all – or else. Note of a conversation earlier today:. Me – ooh, the [UK Parliament’s] Joint Committee on Human Rights issued a report on the new Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Bill. Friend – Anti-Social Policing? That’s surely not a good idea? Me – No, there’s a comma after the crime. The Bill deals with anti-social behaviour, other crime, and police powers, all lumped into one. Friend – What’s anti-social behaviour? Frontiers and O...

Should I Stay or Should I Go? – A Somewhat Personal Humanitarian Dilemma | delusions of equality
https://delusionsofequality.wordpress.com/2013/10/18/should-i-stay-or-should-i-go-a-somewhat-personal-humanitarian-dilemma
Human rights, gender and other important stuff. Should I Stay or Should I Go? 8211; A Somewhat Personal Humanitarian Dilemma. It was a decisive moment. I was deciding for my career, for my ambitions. I now realize such decisions are not linked with the person you’re with but with all your future persons and possibilities. They are linked to your own choice of personal versus professional. In which I’m a paralyzed woman (or small man? And there’s a group of rainbow colored birds waiting for me to catch th...
