one of us as well as our daily freedoms may now do so openly thank you lt daniel choi posted by mächtige maus at 1 38 pm no comments labels social justice monday june 28 2010 welcome to my world this past weekend was pridefest in knoxville tennessee prior plans meant we did not attend the festivities downtown in order to make up for it i went to all news avenues in the area to read about the success of the event we went last year and while it is no san fran or dc pride it was at least our local version of it and we were proud at the very least i expected some sort of coverage this time around i never looked last year since we were watching the parade in person apparently even after five years of living here i am still incredibly naive about the homophobic culture of this region of the united states here is the coverage i found nothing some pridefest eh i assure you if we are still here next year we will be there out and proud because we are not second class citizens as much as my friendly neighbors may want that to be so posted by mächtige maus at 8 53 pm no comments labels hatred queer issues shame saturday june 5 2010 haiti not forgotten today i have seen two new articles that bring haiti back to the forefront of my mind so much of me has been trying to deal from afar with the devastation that is happening in the gulf from the oil spill it has indeed caused me to forget other parts of the world it s funny how life will conspire to make you come back to the realization that much effects many at any given time story one i was trying to find something to watch this morning i landed on espn e60 one segment was about the haitian women s under 17 team no part of me can possibly write about this story better than what espn brought me i ve not been able to locate a re release about this story yet as it just aired today the best i have been able to find is a synopsis of the piece located here and this is what is said haiti women s soccer team with their country devastated by an earthquake that killed thousands including their coach the haitian under 17 women s soccer team had to regroup to train and prepare for a tournament that would qualify the team for the u17 fifa world cup lisa salters followed the team s courageous effort that fell short when they were eliminated from contention it s one of the most difficult stories i ve ever had to work on said salters we spent three weeks with those girls when they didn t win for them it s not just the team is over it s now we go back to our life and we went back to haiti and saw what they went back to and that is sleeping on the streets with no food it was just awful it s like soccer could have saved them and it didn t i urge you to keep on the lookout for this piece all i know is that sport has always gotten me through tough times this is a story about sport almost getting young women through tougher times than most of us can ever imagine and to hear how it all fell short for them well it left me gutted story two right on the heels of one story that left me reeling i ran across another at npr it also jarred me haiti is in ruin and people go about every day simply trying to surive in any location that they can south of port au prince just over 1 000 people are living on an 8 foot wide stretch of median in the middle of route nationale 2 a torn up six lane road that is one of haiti s busiest i have no point to this post i find that sometimes a lack of a point is even more powerful it seems to suggest that there needs to be nothing beyond the realization that life can be devastating it is our job to find a way to ease the suffering for others in any way that we can posted by mächtige maus at 10 16 pm no comments sunday may 30 2010 there is not enough woo in the world the fake feminism of sarah palin today however palin is happily adopting the feminist label she s throwing support behind mama grizzly candidates describing the large number of women in the tea party as evidence of a mom awakening and preaching girl power on her facebook page it s not a realization of the importance of women s rights that s inspired the change it s strategy palin s sisterly speechifying is part of a larger conservative move to woo women by appropriating feminist language just as consumer culture tries to sell girls gone wild style sexism as empowerment conservatives are trying to sell anti women policies shrouded in pro women rhetoric posted by mächtige maus at 7 09 pm no comments labels feminism definitions politics sarah palin thursday may 6 2010 for love when silence is not golden keeping score university of virginia tragedy could have been prevented people can t close their eyes anymore kaplan said they can t pretend it s not happening i hope there will be more support on a state level and more specifically on each campus for mandatory thorough education on gender based violence in the meantime if students have friends who are in questionable relationships they can t stay silent anymore posted by mächtige maus at 10 47 am no comments monday february 15 2010 three cups of tea one man s journey to change the world one child at a time by greg mortenson david oliver relin i just finished reading this book and find myself still in awe of it if you ve not read the book it is a must read check out some information here greg mortenson established the central asia institute whose mission is described as follows central asia institute s mission is to promote and support community based education especially for girls in remote regions of afghanistan and pakistan the philosophy is to empower the local people through their own initiative as of 2008 central asia institute has successfully established 130 schools in pakistan and afghanistan which provide or have provided education to over 51 000 students with a emphasis on girls education over the first decade of cai s evolution our programs and projects expanded to several regions of pakistan and afghanistan with an emphasis on education health issues environment and cultural preservation i came away from reading this book with three things 1 a deep intense need to see this part of the world it isn t a realistic dream really but i want to see this region no part of my imagination can come up with a vision of what these mountains must look like i can t picture the severity it has to be an extreme combination of rugged raw unadulterated beauty and a harshness beyond my ken i even looked at google images for the region and i still can t see it 2 a realization that i do not truly comprehend the power of education it seems so simple education opens the doors of the world i know that is true but this country for the most part takes education for granted i recently had a family member lament on how horrible homework is it doesn t often occur to us how a lack of education is a root cause of so many struggles this book did an amazing job at hammering this home for me it also made me more sure than ever that the long term solution to terrorism is to give the future a better option 3 i do not do enough true it is unrealistic to think i could have imagined and brought to fruition what greg did but still i do not do enough more about the cai and pennies for peace posted by mächtige maus at 10 32 am 2 comments labels amazing people education saturday january 9 2010 ring in 2010 check out the women s enews link about the may 6 2010 gala benefit dinner honoring 21 leaders for 21st century 2010 seriously go check it out with seven individuals in three categories seven who invent a better future seven who rewrite the rules and seven who seize autonomy i cannot think of a more inspiring way to open the 2010 season of the feminist underground true posts have been limited they are probably going to remain that way in order to compensate for that i feel that it is important to make the ones that do pop up for you all count so here you have my first step these are amazing people and deserve to be heard go forth and read about the winds of change may your 2010 be all that it needs to be posted by mächtige maus at 6 51 pm 2

on in the legacy we choose to honor them with and to those brave women we know who continue to show us what bravery strength perseverance and life is all about posted by mächtige maus at 9 24 pm 1 comment labels amazing women my gay soapbox let me see how many people i can annoy with this post if there isn t a one then i guess habladora might have a leg to stand on as far as this blog not reaching the people who need to be challenged however i believe i can annoy someone i ve managed to do it before on topics that i fully anticipated to be innocuous so come on people don t let me down now read the following article by bill maher about how the don t ask don t tell policy can be obliterated by one swipe of the pen from a man with noble prize winning character let me just provide snippets to get you going but there is one thing the president can do with the stroke of a pen he can let gays serve openly in the military it s called an executive order harry truman wrote one in 1948 for blacks in the military and that was that health care and the environment are complicated but it s not hard to keep track of the places that god allows you to put your pee pee i mean you can count those places on one hand and that hand isn t something you should be using either a year ago if you had asked your average wing nut neighbor what he thought about health care reform he would have shrugged his shoulders and gone right back to eating his moon pie but he s pissed off about it now why because it s in their nature to be pissed off they have a pre existing condition called the

trouble for trying to explain the backlog that exists in forensic science especially when it comes to sexual assault cases i ve been in trouble because my job as an unbiased scientist who has to

following post reported rapes hit 20 year low reported rapes have fallen to the lowest level in 20 years as dna evidence helps send more rapists to prison and victims are more willing to work with police and prosecutors victims advocates and crime researchers say it is clearly a combination of factors of which forensic dna analysis is only a small piece of the puzzle dna evidence obviously makes it easier to establish a link between perpetrator and crime the national dna database allows for the linking of heretofore unsolved crimes prosecutors are able to rely on something beyond eyewitness identification which during times of stress on the victim are historically inaccurate the truth to that is made all the more obvious by the...
