Feminism 3.0
There are some things I could nitpick at in Julia Barry's recent piece from AlterNet, "Feminism 3.0: Women and Media", but instead I'll appreciate it for what I believe it's intended to be: a sincere plea for women and their allies to work together instead of fighting one another. I also appreciate that, unlike other articles one might read about The State of the World Today, Barry ends with a list of positive actions to take and links to read. This might not satisfy a feminist already well-acquainted with the nuanced problems of being a "feminist" in the media industry, but it's a nice introduction for those who are learning about it.

Thanks so much for your thoughtful comments! The article was absolutely meant to stir up collaboration and conversation (rather than being an in-depth piece as you pointed out), so I’m glad you felt inspired to respond :)
Keep me updated about your projects and feminist musings!
