Feminist Carnival #53

Just got this link to the Feminist Carnival #53 off the blog Feminist Philosophers (a fabulous blog, by the way, with a great blogroll of additional feminist blogs) and couldn't resist linking to it here...lots of interesting, horrifying, hysterical, ridiculous stuff....some may be good teaching tools too.

I seem to be getting carried away here...I'm not trying to take over the blog, believe me! --SH
