Just kidding, though not quite. If you were lucky enough to miss the cleavage story, it was based on an article Robin Givhans wrote in the Washington Post. […]

In an interesting essay over at The Nation, Annabelle Gurwitch fears she’s become a Tipper Gore type because she didn’t want her kids exposed to the sexist and disturbing movie posters for Captivity. Gurwitch describes her strong beliefs about free speech, and then this:

See below for an exciting opportunity to help support expanded airtime for WBAI’s Joy of Resistance feminist radio show.
