About

The FBomb.org is a blog/community created by and for teenage girls who care about their rights as women and want to be heard. All young feminists who are just a little bit pissed off and very outspoken are more than welcome here.

Name
In this case the “F Bomb” stands for “feminist.” However, the fact that the “F Bomb” usually refers to a certain swear word in popular culture is not coincidental. The FBomb.org is for girls who have enough social awareness to be angry and who want to verbalize that feeling. The FBomb.org is loud, proud, sarcastic…everything teenage feminists are today.

Editor
Julie Zeilinger is one of the proudest teenage feminists of all, who delivers every bitter social commentary with a smile. She’s from Pepper Pike, Ohio, and her own experiences with constant bad weather and a depressing (non-existent) city life have made her comfortable with (loudly) expressing her every complaint. She is a wary optimist who loves chocolate and hates people who speak two inches away from her face. Queries, comments and bad jokes to be sent to: juliez@thefbomb.org.

Author(s)
The main purpose of the fbomb is to create a community and dialogue amongst teenage girls, and therefore any and all submissions are accepted on an ongoing basis. There is no limit for the number of submissions per person and multiple submissions and submissions sent over time are encouraged.

Intern
A young feminist from the greater New York City area, Angela Giacchetti is a recent Gender Studies and Political Science graduate of the State University of New York at Purchase College. She has focused her studies mainly on human sexuality, women’s sexual and reproductive health, and a variety of other social justice issues. As post-graduate life begins, she is constantly looking for new ways to live out her passion for empowering young people and advocating for human rights.

Comments Policy
While the Fbomb highly encourages comments, we reserve the right to remove any comments that are hateful or threatening towards others. Honestly, I’m not in the business of censorship, just keep it respectful, people.
