S --- worth raging about

We at SisterSpeak, JMU’s feminist literary magazine, wish to respond to the article “ ‘S--- Girls Say’ video high- lights society’s love of women jokes” in the Feb. 2 issue of The Breeze. The article challenges the “S--- Girls Say” videos and their reliance on sexist and racist stereotypes that portray women as vapid and stupid. Although we agree with the argument made by Alina Gasperino, we were disappointed by her disparaging of feminism and her implication that a feminist argument isn’t valid. The argument was feminist, and while we don’t expect anyone to identify as such, it was counterproductive to qualify her statement by denounc- ing feminism. Fa culty | guest columnists Feminism is not a dirty word, but rather a political ideology that all people are equal, no matter their gender, class, race or sexual orientation. Not all feminists hold the same beliefs; there is much variation within our community.
