Public Service Announcements: FBomb Book Title and the Future of the FBomb
So, you may remember about a thousand years ago when I announced the FBomb’s title contest. WELL we have a winning title. Yes, Ladies and Gentlemen, my book will have a title and it won’t just be a series of symbols that I refuse to reveal the meaning and purpose of or explain how to pronounce.
The winning title is *drum roll please* ….
A Little F’d Up: Why Feminism Is Not A Dirty Word
I’m so happy with this title and hope that you guys like it, too! I’m also going to try to keep you all updated on the book’s status as it progresses and try to include all of you in any way that I can.
On another note, a lot of people have been asking me about what is going…
When I was a freshman in high school, I read Jessica Valenti’s book Full Frontal Feminism and it changed my life. It’s what sent me to Feministing, which introduced me to the feminist blogosphere, which in turn inspired me to start a blog for teenage feminists. Because just like Feministing, Full Frontal Feminism can be applicable to the lives of teenagers in many ways, and has been passed around plenty amongst teen feminists, but ultimately Full Frontal is geared towards women in their 20’s and 30’s.
And as absolutely fabulous as Full Frontal is, I think we can all agree that it’s about time that teenage feminists have a book that is really ours – about and relevant to our lives and written from a teenage perspective. We’ve proven we exist…
Not to distract from the intensely serious problem that Ellen raises on the show, but SERIOUSLY?! HOW AWESOME IS SHE!? I want to be her best friend. Thank god for one of the few role models teen girls have.

Here at College Femme we’ve created a community of college-aged women (and men!) who get to reflect about their lives and make all our journeys that much easier. Our writers are interested in all sorts of subjects, and so we have articles about school, music, literature, fashion, relationships, college-life, politics, and all sorts of other topics. Everything that’s ever posted up on College Femme boils down to one belief we share: Be More. Be Yourself. Be Beautiful.
We envision a community where we can celebrate ourselves and the potential we have to do great things, and we support each other in the process! This is the goal of…
Happy Thanksgiving F-Bombers (and to my international readers…happy Thursday, November 25th!). The FBomb is going to take a break from posting today through Sunday. Here are some things you can do while I selfishly stuff myself with food and sleep instead of running this blog:
- Read some back posts. Here are a few of my faves:
Take this time off to write a post! Just to remind you, posts should be about 300-600 words (although I’m flexible on length) and they can be about anything feminist or teen related! Rants, musings, thoughts on current events and feminist…
I remember one day in 5th grade during P.E. class, a particularly douchey male classmate of mine turned to me completely unsolicited and said, “Boys are better than girls at sports, you know.” Now, if this had happened today, you better believe I would have smacked the dodgeball or whiffle ball or whatever sports accessory I may have been holding at the time into his righteous face (just kidding, violence is bad). But I was ten, and even though his statement didn’t seem true to me I just let him get away with it. I mean I personally fail miserably at sports, but that’s due to complete indifference and laziness, neither of which I attribute to my gender or even physical ability. And now that I think about it,…
