2008 Progressive Women's Voices Media Highlights

The Progressive Womens Voices program has become a cornerstone of The Womens Media Center. We are changing the conversation by making sure that there are plenty of qualified, authoritative, progressive women experts available to editors, reporters, producers, and bookers. In our first year of the program, we intensively media trained 33 women who have gone on to earn over 1000 media hits year to date. Our inaugural class was a stellar group, with experts in foreign policy, reproductive rights, environmental issues, racial justice, voting rights, the history of feminism, immigrant communities, outsider cultures, national security, and many more areas of expertise. With our training and help, in 2008, our PWV women wrote Op Eds in the Washington Post and The New York Times, features for Elle and New York magazine, were quoted in USA Today, Forbes, Variety, Mother Jones, the Wall Street Journal, Slate, Salon, The New Republic, the Los Angeles Times, on the Associated Press and Reuters wires, appeared on Good Morning America, CNN, MSNBC, CBS Nightly News, Fox News, ABC News, CNBC, The Tyra Banks Show, PBSs To The Contrary, Bill Moyers, on numerous NPR shows, and in hundreds of other significant media outlets.

Feminism Equality

"All men are good for is fucking, and running over with a truck".

Statement made by A University of Maine Feminist Administrator

"Men who are unjustly accused of rape can sometimes gain from the experience."

Catherine Comin, Vassar College. Assistant Dean of Students.

"I feel that 'man-hating' is an honorable and viable political act, that

the oppressed have a right to class-hatred against the class that is

oppressing them." -- Robin Morgan, Ms. Magazine Editor.

We wonder why men don't want western women. Seems like an awful binary of sex slave housemaid and some sort of harridan with a victim mentality and persecution complex.

Both are annoying although I'll have the former if there's no excluded middle anymore.

Thanks for fucking up education!

I love how this shows the empowerment of women, and such articulate, well thought out positions these women in this video have! It is comforting to know that my voice, as a woman, reaches the platform they are on. Hallelujah!
