coramegan linked this video from The Daily Show, a collection of clips from the "Even StepVhen" feature with Steve Carrell and Stephen Colbert. Hilarious stuff. XD
Also check out this clip from the 9/12/06 episode - or, as Jon Stewart calls it, "the fifth anniversary of the misappropriation of the events of September 11th."
Next, Luke notified us about a documentary called "I Was a Teenage Feminist" that looks worthwhile. There's a trailer, as well as clips showing surveys asking women whether or not they call themselves feminists and men what they think feminists are. (Warning - that last clip made me want to curl up into the safe haven of my feministy friends-list. Or fulfill some stereotypes and go on a castratin' spree.)
It's discouraging, but definitely enlightening, to see what the general public thinks/thinks they know. It's also encouraging, too, to see normal people proclaiming their feminism. I loved how in the second clip, the first woman who says proudly that yes, she is a feminist, is Asian. :D Also, I loved this quote: "Saying I'm a feminist almost seems the same question as asking me whether or not I'm black. I don't really understand why I wouldn't be." XD XD XD
