Being chained and love? Women Hair

When we hear "jail", one thinks first "men" and "violence" often "sexuality" and "escape its soap". You get the idea. Obviously there women prisoners (3% in France) and they may also have a better sex in prison.


According Gwénola Ricordeau , "(t) he reasons for the invisibility of women prisoners (...) And their sexuality are certainly to be found in common representations of women's sexuality, but also of sexual identity and gender relations that reduce women - even more in than out - to mothers or wives. "




In his article Sexualities Women in prison: practices, discourses and representations , Ricordeau talking about little research has been conducted primarily on women and more on their sexual taboo. It makes certain assumptions about this situation. It therefore performs a series of interviews with men and women imprisoned es on the issue of female sexuality in prison.

It explores several aspects of female sexuality and its repression in prison, but also gendered conceptions which are at work in the medium. It includes data on female homosexuality, the perceptions of female desire against the male desire with testimony in support. "The frustration, it must be harder for women. Us, we handle the widow was the porn. [...] I was said that if, as a man, you women, you get raped! (Renald, Clairvaux).


An interesting example regarding the roles and stereotypes male / female: a French experiment called Family Life Unit (UVF) guarantees a place to meet his relatives in privacy for inmate-es. Whereas for men, this place is considered a "sexual or intimate parlor" for women it is a place to maintain the bond of mothers with their children. So with the prison "we punish people by the deprivation of women (and thus sexuality), (and) we would punish the women by depriving them of their children or the ability to procreate. "



It talks about" safe sex ":

" If in most institutions, access to condoms is possible, female condoms (Femidon) are unusually distributed them. In addition, the policy of preventing transmission of sexually transmitted diseases and infections, although imperfect, conducted in men's prisons, has no equivalent in women's detention. According to a persistent prejudice, sex lesbians would be immune from contamination. "

The author finally deals with the relations of the detained staff supervisor of the opposite sex, assaults and sexual power relations between inmates.

I did given that some bits of this article very interesting. I urge you to read in full!

I did a little Find this week an entire web page on female hair . There are a lot of content, articles on just about anything that affects the subject: The usefulness of

hair hair removal women in recent history
The hair of women in the media
Free will and The influence of social pressure images

Teens and hairy women
Women who do not pluck
and more!

short of beautiful material scattered evidence that food for thought.

Some excerpts from various articles:
(PF refers pubescent female)
11. The attraction for the hairless body

[...] Everyone has heard of "Vagina Monologues" by Eve Ensler, here's an excerpt that demonstrates the intransigence and selfishness of a man who prefers the shaved pubis, it is not away from sadism.

can not love a vagina if you do not like hair. Many people do not like them. My first and only husband hated them. He said it was a mess. It was dirty. He made me shave my vagina. He looked bloated, naked like a little girl. My husband, it excited him. When we made love, my vagina felt what it must feel a beard. It was good that the skyscraper, and painful at the same time. Like when you scratch a mosquito bite. It looked like he was on fire. It was bloody red bumps. I refused to shave again.
Then my husband had an affair. When we did couples therapy, he said he would look elsewhere because I refused to satisfy him sexually. (...) Why I did not meet my husband? I told him that I thought was strange. I felt like a little girl when I had hair down, there. I could not stop talking with a baby voice, the skin was irritated and there was no cream nothing. She said that marriage was a compromise. I asked him if the act of shaving my vagina would prevent my husband to go elsewhere (...).
This time, when we returned home, it was he who shaved my vagina. It was as if the therapy had earned a good point. He made a few slashes, and there was some blood in the bathtub. He did not even notice, he was so happy shaving me. Then later, when he pressed against me, I felt her hair, piercing as thorns in my vagina swollen. There had no protection. No fleece.
That's when I realized that the hairs have a rationale - that the leaf around the flower garden around the house. You have to love hair in order to love vaginas. You can not have one without the other. Also, my husband never stopped to look elsewhere. [...]


15. Free will and influence of images

[...] For those who invoke freedom of choice, here's a hypothetical situation that will reflect.
Say you have a rash (inflammation) in an armpit. The dermato prohibits shaving or waxing but it's summer and you have booked in a hotel. There are 3 solutions.
1) You cancel your holiday
2) You go but you stay in t-shirt-sleeved
3) You assume your hair as you mock the eyes of others

If you choose option 1 or 2, c ' is that you look at the eyes of others, you admit the force of things you're not free to choose.
If you choose to take, you have a "good" reason to keep your hair, a medical problem. But do you think those / those who will treat you yeti think for a moment that you can not remove hair? Where is the choice in this case? [...]

17. Point of view Feminist

What offends me is that we tell a woman she fails if it does not epilating. I think the truth when she fails to leave the diktats of the beauty of the rights to his body. [...]


16. Social pressure

[...] Always on the blog of Helen, a humorous comment from 2006 that shows that social pressure is permanent and makes them want laser hair removal

Indeed, I would also be ready to give one month's salary in order:
- wear skirts without asking me if I have time to shave legs before going to work.
- graciously accept a dip without saying "and m. .. I can not, I'm not shaved"
- not seeing my hair growth (under the skin or not)
- not seeing my hair short, moreover ...
- make no more buttons and / or black dots when I have hair that grows back
- no longer bite the bullet at the beautician (well, okay, I do not go often, but still)
- do tell me more "and m. .., I forgot to m'epiler mustache", running catch my metro. [...]

7. FP in the media (excluding cinema)

[...] Here is the report a sequence of a show on NRJ, one evening in 2006.
A guy twenty years (A1) phone to complain about "the enormous tuft" (sic) of his girlfriend and asked how to convince her to pluck.
The main facilitator named Michael was 24 years (M), there are 2 other animators and animation. I call them or NRJG NRJF (for girls). Other listeners (A2, A3) and a call girl (AF)

A1: I have a problem, my girlfriend has a huge tuft between her thighs, I think it's ugly but I love her and I want her
M: you have never spoken?
A1: No, I do not know how tell her she should pluck without vexing
M: Tell him that you prefer when it's smooth, it is especially cleaner
NRJF: it will not, do not tell her that because she mostly goes believe that now it is dirty
M: m'enfin yeah, it's still better
NRJF: this is not a reason to say it's more hygienic
NRJG: yeah but I am size pubic hair, otherwise it looks like a jungle and it is cleaner
A2: hello everyone, all you have to make an erotic game by blindfolding his girlfriend and taking a lawnmower
M : yes, it's great idea as
NRJF: but you are crazy, she will realize
NRJG: No, I think it's great
A1: yeah but it will hear the noise of the mower, it will not do
NRJF: it will mainly be aware that you cut it something and it can hurt
AF: hello, I'm 22 and I only have the metro ticket, if your girlfriend loves you, she should do it for love of you
M: yeah, c ' it is true, it may well do that for you
A2: I said that full of bitches and they all have shaved for me, I find it cleaner
A3: you saw on RTL9, they move stuff rotten with women full of hair ("Pink Series")
M: yeah it's horrible but hey, it was fashionable in the 80
A2: it is better when no hair is cleaner and more erotic
M: Yeah, I prefer the ticket subway or square, in full. Do you realize, you fall on a super nice girl, you find yourself in bed and there you see she does not epilating, I'm completely block

Conclusion, the auditor would try to tell her girlfriend in a diplomatic way.

This may seem like trivial discussion, but if you look closer, you are entitled to all the cliches and we talk very little of the main interested which perhaps has no desire to pluck the pubic. That's the worst: instead of saying "are you sure she wants to do it," we only advise him full of methods, some are stupid.
Note that the guy says to love her but what would he do for his girlfriend? Stop spending hours on the game console instead of being with her? See less relous his buddies? This is one way most of the time, the guy turns up with his demands (I want you to be blonde, you had big boobs, you t'épiles, whether you are thin) and "in love", the daughter only has to bend. Pinch me, I dream. [...]

28. Women who do not pluck

[...] I shave my underarms since hairs are grown and legs since I was 13-14 years. It has always inflated "duty" to remove my hair, but obviously I did it anyway, for not having comments. For cons, I always did it with a razor, I've never shaved: I refused to have hurt me for "that." The razor had the advantage of being quick and painless.
After a while I started to realize that I had to fight for my "right not to want m'épiler" (18 years). While I was
pretty determined and I left the hair on my legs push (not those of axils), I saw a program with cousins when a woman who had not shaved her legs in disgust provoked a pretender and my cousins thought the guy was right.
There, my resolve wavers ... How to fight against it? What would their reaction when they see my legs?
And the next day we went to the pool, obviously ... I took my razor. I felt really bad (and desperate face this incredible package).
few weeks later, I joined my little sister 13, who has never touched his hair and has never asked about his physical appearance, watching TV. M6, begins a show on hair removal: and now parading dozens of girls who all explain that they do, they are tired of their hair, it's ugly, that boys prefer when c is smooth, which explains the different techniques to remove them ... As usual, it depresses me. And then at the end of the show, I see my sister get up, his face expressionless, and head towards the bathroom without saying anything. And, I know what she will do. Because it is precisely in these conditions where I used a razor myself the first time. Without really knowing why, but it should be, because everybody does it. And actually, I could check later she started to shave my legs.
And here I am saying is not possible. I can not let that happen, I can not let my sister, from the top of his innocence, to be locked in here without understanding why, because the TV said, because she fears the gaze of others.
So I let my hair grow back and most importantly, the air of nothing, I've paraded before her, including during the summer holidays at the beach. As I'm blonde, they do not jump in the eyes (and I have had no comments) but I wanted her to see me as I resisted the pressure from others, I do not m'épilais, and it was not obligated to do either. And I saw that after a while, she stopped shaving his hair when they rejected. Once the end of the summer arrived, they were again long. I was really happy and I hope I was able to remove at least part of that weight that is heavy to wear while he is useless. After
, nothing says it will not remove everything again when she will go swimming with his friends, but hey, I really wanted she knows that it was not obliged, and I was there with her ...
For me, it's important to give the courage to do these things to pass on to those for whom it is more difficult, especially the younger ones who are prevented from asking questions, the timid, the hesitant ... and those for whom there is a model.
Since the start of school, I stopped shaving my armpits too ... What surprised to see me with hair under the arms for the first time in my life! I find them funny, I like. But I have not yet dared to show them, I hide (it's not too hard for now, it's winter). I absolutely have the courage to stay together, but I must admit that the reaction of others makes me really freak, and I think I am not at all ready to show yet ... And it would make me much good, and it would give me great courage, if I was not alone, if someone around me was like me. But I hope that by what I "should" really show them (dresses, spring back ...), I stole determination. (Marie, 19 years) [...]

Can I Travel With Pink Eye

Gender policing; Justin Bieber and femininity tests in sport


Gender''policing''(hard to translate in French) refers to attitudes that impose a collection of its kind to another person. The term policing is not referring to an organized institution like the police, but a very well-established social norm that will strengthen and maintain the kind of binary vision, ideals of femininity / masculinity and heterosexuality. Any violation of this standard may be stressed by behaviors of gender policing. Thus, a person who does not vision of society on his kind will suffer the mockery, criticism and other verbal abuse sometimes leading to physical and sexual violence. Two cases of gender policing in the news marked me most: Justin Bieber and femininity tests in sport.

Note: For the uneducated (or the lucky and fortunate from the point of view) who, like me a few months ago, do not know who is Justin Bieber is a young American singer of pop music 16 years .

Personally, I do not particularly like this artist, let alone his music, but beyond personal taste, the treatment reserved for him by some of the public is quite painful and revealing ...

Here are some jokes that circulate on the web:

" I Called Justin Bieber gay and he slapped me With His purse. "
(Trad: I have treated Justin Bieber gay and he hit me with his bag)

" Justin Bieber Is The Brand Ambassadors of sanitary pads. "
(Trad: Justin Bieber is the new ambassador of sanitary napkins.)

" Beiber Justin Will we turn next movie star, turning in His Name will be "Faggatron. "
(Trad: Justin Bieber will play in the upcoming movie Transformers, his name will be''Transformers''Tapettron)

and now the names of groups on facebook

" What is Justin Bieber doing out of the Kitchen? "
(Trad: What do Justin Bieber out of the kitchen)

" It Is an offense That We Need to Share the Same gender as Justin Bieber "
(Trad: It is an insult to share the same kind that Justin Bieber)

"If Justin Bieber Was a woman ... oh wait, never mind"
(Trad: If Justin Bieber was a woman ... oh wait, nevermind)

"Leave Justin Bieber alone, stop making fun of HER! "
(Trad: Justin Bieber Leave alone, stop making fun of it)

" Who Thinks Justin Bieber is gay and sings like a girl? "
(Trad: Who thinks that Justin Bieber is gay and sings like a girl?)

" I HATE Justin Bieber Because He sounds like a girl! "
(Trad: I HATE Justin Bieber because he sings like a girl)


As highlighted in an article Fbomb: Gender Policing and Justin Bieber , what all these jokes and comments on the kind of Justin Bieber reveal the vision of society on the female gender? (I would also add to our understanding of homosexuality)

His physique more feminine and the tone of his voice make it does not fit perfectly the image of masculinity associated with his kind. The gender policing is then used by people who better fit into the mold male "real" male, to strengthen the limits on their gender. Thus, a person from these limits will be dealt with gay, queer, fag, sissy to sort of put him in his place. In the case of Bieber, there seems to be so considered that the male was not associated with the feminine gender. Inevitably, if we overvalues masculinity, all manifestations of its opposite, like femininity, a boy, will be singled out and denigrated as something degrading. ( Another allusion to this post aspect )

Another man who had to endure nasty comments that illustrate the gender policing is the figure skater Johnny Weir. Indeed, following one of his performances, sports commentators, Goldberg Alain and Claude Mailhot commented on-air appearance. They argue the fact that Weir should be tested to verify its masculinity or femininity, they wondered jokingly if he should not be competing in women and even say that it detracts from his sport. These comments have also been denounced by the Quebec Council gays and lesbians (CQGL) .

Excerpt: "He's lipstick. He dresses in a feminine way. It tries to be as feminine as possible on the ice. That leaves a rather bitter about figure skating. It's very annoying because you think all the boys who will skate like him. "- Alain Goldberg
Johnny Weir

These words reveal a man who approaches the characteristics associated with women is considered a disgrace and it is permissible to ridicule the public (so to show gender policing)


short, when you do not fit the model of "real man virile," the first way is to insult you you treat gay and then you treat a woman ... quite eloquent on the value given to these two groups of people.

Somewhat in the same vein, the tests of femininity in the sport are, in my view, attitudes of gender policing as they are to challenge the gender of female athletes when perform.

A gender test is a test used during competition sports to determine whether professional sports would not be hermaphroditic or androgynous women. (wiki)

They are highly contested because they are not totally reliable and the genetic sex is extremely complex. Intersex in individuals , it is almost impossible to "classify" the person as male or female. Moreover, consider only the genetic sex sex occult influence social, psychological and physical person. In addition, test results have an impact on stigmatizing those who suffer them. The case of

Semenya who made headlines in 2009 is well the general attitude surrounding femininity tests. She easily won the women's 800 meters final at the World Championships in Athletics in Berlin. His victory made headlines quickly, but contrary to what one might believe this was not to report his exploit, but doubts about its visual biological gender. It is considered too tough, no chest, with a pool too small and too hairy, it looks too short not conform to gender stereotypes, she looks like a man. He will then take tests to prove femininity that she would be hermaphrodite.



For you it is the men's side? It seems that when they have incredible performance, it is either admiring or they are subjected to drug tests. We do not give them the kind in question, in fact physical performance confirms their manhood.

I find the latest questions in an article I read and advise you on the subject particularly relevant: Why refuse to compete in the category that matches what they believe to be the deepest of 'itself? Finally, why mention the doping when the exploit is masculine and to question the sexual identity of the athlete when the exploit is feminine?

short, gender policing is therefore an attempt to reinforce the idea that only two types exist and they correspond to two very accurate model, masculinity / femininity, which should not be waived. Additionally, it behind and between the two models, femininity and characteristics that are connected are lower and when present in a man, they are degrading.

Woolite In He Washers?

least 30 lives

Is there any among you who listened to the first episodes of 30 lives, the new Fabienne Larouche series? It's basically the same as Virginia, but Virginia and modernized a bit I feel. I have not heard much Virginia, so I have no points of comparison. The episodes are arranged on tou.tv too.

I noticed something amazing listening to the first 3 episodes. In two out of three episodes, the term feminist was used, and to designate two different women. Wow! you say, finally, a series gives us visibility. Hmm ... not so sure. I put in context.

First episode: We discover
parents a youth. The mother has a new job for three months, it is necessary that caters to the family. The father was squealing out shortly before he saw and upset that no longer fill the needs of his family. It lowers a lot and especially his wife constantly feel guilty because she works and not him. It denigrates the tasks to do at home. We see that he feels belittled to no longer be the provider. At one point, he told his wife that he will "make a woman" or "mother". She replied: "I know not what bothers me most: that you're down or you to do the big nono macho . To which he replied: "leaves lecturing feminist, it really is not time. "

One can interpret this passage is in many ways. To date, however, the show places a strong emphasis on the evil being the father. It is perfectly legitimate it is depressed, angry at losing his job. Yet by focusing on their discomfort of not playing it properly its role as a male breadwinner, I do not think the issue we render service, neither women nor men. She is a tormented character who constantly blames his wife makes him miss work. He heard that she does not care enough for their child. It shows also very jealous and goes to see his new work without permission, demanding to see his boss, because he does not trust him. It will take longer to see how their relationship evolves, but for now, this is problematic.

Episode Three: There
in 30 lives, a pattern particularly atrocious. It is obvious that the author wants to hate him. He ordered the mother (from episode 1) to sleep with him if she wants to keep his job and his promotion, he took advantage of the precariousness of his family budget, etc.. A true real asshole. At one point in this episode is the restaurant's husband character main teacher, Gabrielle. While waiting for the cashier to pay, the cashier called "log flume". Gabrielle replied: "Katie is her name." He replies: "Do you mind you, my pretty?". She replied: "Mine is Fortin." He turns to the husband of Gabrielle and said "Do not let go of rabid feminist lesbians, Chief, you'll lose your good customers." When the chief replied that it was his wife, the asshole said to him: "That's why you cook haha. He ended by giving a tip to the waitress gig, and he said: "Well pitoune, you deserve it. Everything can be bought. " And he leaves. It

Clearly you're supposed to hate the character. The problem with this scene there is that he wins. It is headed, it pays the cashier, call logs, insult the wife of the boss, and he left such a quiet, because it's CASH. So the insult is still valid, what stands out is that Gabrielle is not a lesbian, but she is still frustrated feminist. Moreover when the asshole said "log flume" Gabrielle's husband is at once a face of "oh no, is not say that" because he knows she will react. He expects his reaction. From there to find whether the mad or not, it would be on the interpretation.

So is the stock bin for analysis in this new series. For now, we know the characters and not enough history to really determine the intention of the author. The two examples I gave are already surprising, remains to be seen how it will evolve. Stay tuned! By the way, if you disagree with my interpretation, or if you have other examples, feel free to comment!

The Power Is In The Vag!

you know Vag magazine? Otherwise, it is imperative that you listen to it!

Vag Magazine is a web-series (English and American) satire depicting a band of feminists "third wave" that create a magazine. Definitely in self-mockery, but within the friendly, cette série là me fait pisser de rire!


"VAG MAGAZINE is not your grandma's feminist magazine, though we support her as a woman. Go behind the scenes at this hipster third-wave feminist magazine with founders FENNEL, SYLVIE, and BETHANY, staffers HEAVY FLO (a hero on the roller derby circuit), REBA (truly a legend of gonzo feminist pop culture journalism), and MEGHAN (the lone holdover from fashion magazine Gemma , which the Vag founders bought out with the proceeds from their Etsy shop), as well as enthusiastic intern KIT, as they teach you how to be a better woman."

Voilà le premier épisode, les autres se trouvent ici .

Taste Of Cervical Mucus When Pregnant

Beauty contest for girls

I came across this American reality show "Toddlers and Tiaras". A show that follows mothers and their daughters (sometimes their son) participating in their daily beauty contests for children and even babies. As in the Miss contests for adults, they will be wearing, makeup, spray on tanned and will charm the jury.



The announcement of Toddlers and Tiaras



After falling off my chair, I continued my research and found this BBC documentary in English, "Baby beauty queens, which follows the journey of three participants and their families, Madison, Taylor and Sasha. It follows their preparations for the Mini Miss UK competition.


This documentary made me think about the effect on our society children and the pressure on them they to comply, at a time, the demands of capitalism and patriarchy . Performance at any price, competition, as the finest left to suffer in order to comply with the standards of beauty; all things they are taught very young that they like it or not ... and oh, the eyes of young girls in the documentary is revealing on it!

* Warning this documentary with a strong potential to make you angry or sad. To you to judge whether it is a good time to watch it or not, good listening;)

Pro-feminist New Year's resolutions for straight guys

Resolutions profeminist the New Year guys hetero

By Bill Patrick

With the new year fast approaching, I thought it might be a good time to consider resolutions that can be taken to ensure hetero guys a fairer world for women and thereby also be closer to an identification Complete with our own humanity. (Some of these resolutions can probably apply to guys who do not identify as heterosexual, but I'm straight, it is the only population to which I feel competent to make these suggestions). So here:

As men straight, I propose that we take the following resolutions:

1. Taking care of ourselves. For too long many of us have neglected our physical, mental and spiritual. And for many of us who have women in our lives we have been too quick to leave these responsibilities their hands. Women often take our appointment with the doctor or dentist, and they insist that we take care of ourselves. And what do we do in response? We quarrel harassing us! Then resume the responsibility to do those things designed to keep us happy and alive. If we want women in our lives are there for us, then we must ensure we do the things that we will be there for them!

2. Assume responsibility for maintaining and preserving our social relationships. Over the years, one of the main differences I noticed between homosexual and heterosexual men, is that many men gays working effectively to maintain and improve their social networks. In return, many hetero guys just do not have such networks. I know very few hetero guys who perform maintenance tasks as simple as social poster postcards on holidays, buying presents for their nephews and nieces, remembering birthdays or arrange dinners or small meetings. Let's not leave our female partners the task of maintaining our other social ties!

3. Listen to women. I mean really be listening to them. Do not interrupt. Do not instantly refute what they say. Do not criticize or laugh at them. Just do listen. Listen to the women as if they were human beings who are capable of rational thought and thoughtful comments. Because that's what they are. And if we remain silent long enough, it may well be that we learn something!

4. Ask women their opinion. What is even better than just listen when women offer an opinion, it's asking! Here, we are certain to learn something!

5. Do laundry correctly. You and I know we know all the way to do laundry. It is time to stop pretending ignorance. And for some guys who do not really know how, you can learn! It is much easier than doing an oil drill a barrel of beer, repair a leaky toilet or plugging this new plasma TV.

6. Eliminate about misogynistic what you say - and what you think. When a woman cuts you off while driving, do not deal with "bitch" - even mentally!

7. Having our own condoms and propose to use our partner before having to ask. There is only get the damn thing. We owe him. And we owe it to ourselves.

8. Refrain from any sexual activity that objective, exploits, hurts or demeans women.

9. Having sex that we know with certainty be consensual. This means that it is neither drunk nor confused or fearful, and we're not either. It was not manipulated or forced. And neither do we.

10. Fully honor all commitments we made in child support - regardless of our degree of resentment or disagreement with the mother. Although we believe that their mother is not a good person, do we really want our children to think the same of us?

11. Resolve any conflict we have a non-violent and non-abusive. This should go without saying. But the reality is that society would be much better if more of us live that way.

12. Tell another man that we love. And to think really. If we do not have at least one other man in our lives that we can say that, then the resolution should be to find one. There are billions of people on this planet. Surely we can all find at least one that deserves our love and affection!

13. Our work to eliminate homophobia. Homophobia destroys our relationship with all other men. It prevents us from loving each other. And we should all be able to love deeply. As men, we deserve to be able to give and receive such love - and not just women.

14. Learn more about feminism. There is still much to learn about feminism. This is one of the most powerful liberation movements of our time. We owe it to ourselves - and women of the world - to learn more about it! Feminism is incredibly diversified. There are good chances that we did not agree with everything that we encounter. But at least we will know enough to respond in an informed manner (rather than reflex) to the various elements of the struggle for women's liberation.

15. Hold at least some of these resolutions. One of the ironies of compiling such a list is that women have in fact much more likely to keep their resolutions that we men. While trying to surprise everyone by taking some of those promises! We owe it to women. We owe it to society. And we owe it to ourselves.
