Last month I asked you to ‘Vote against Mossimo’s Peep Show Sexism’ and support women who were subverting Mossimo’s sex industry theme. I’m delighted to announce that our very own ‘Naughty Nicole’ has taken out the prize for most popular entry. She wins a camera!

I’ve written about this before. Now DIVA is the […]
I hope you are encouraged by this clip from the CBC Early Show about the campaign to remove a T-shirt marketed to young girls with the logo ‘”I’m too pretty to do homework, so my brother has to do it for me.” It was great to see how quickly this took off, after one woman, […]

Boycott Krank I’m tired of writing about t.shirts depicting women in pornified ways and sending a message that violence against women is sexy. But this latest example, brought to you by Krank Clothing, demands a response. This blog is from the Collective Shout website. Please take action. A Collective Shout supporter was recently in a […]
