Ready For Club Day

Fallin in love with Fordham n' Feminism tomorrow on the plaza (Thursday 9/22 11:30- 2) 

Give us a free tee. We gon' cut it up. 

How Many Girl Rappers Can We Take?

Only one apparently. Akua Naru, the feminist rapper who visited Fordham LC tonight (and soon to be Rose Hill this Friday @ 8 pm) pointed out that there's only room for one female rapper, but that didn't always used to be so. Remember Queen Latifah? Lauryn Hill? Female rappers who write about real issues of economy and sexuality have lost favor to songs about "superman" and "applebottomjeans." When will we make room for ladies to take hold of the mic again? Rap resurrects with Akua Naru.

This is the Isis soundtrack.

New Mascot

2010/2011 our icon was (ra-ra-like-a-dungeon-dragon) Nicki Minaj

But all good things must come to an end...for something GR8TR = 

<3 THE CRAZY NASTYASS HONEY BADGER! <3

WHY IZ THE HONEY BADGER THE ISIS MASCOT?

DOTH LET US COUNT THEE WAYZ....

1. badass

2. most fearless animal in all animal kingdom

3. doesn't rly give a shit

4. so nasty

5. loose skin

6. nothing can stung us wen we hungry

7. poisoned by cobra? take a nap

8. still poisoned? get back up

9. STILL DON'T GIVE A SHIT!!!!!!!!

cobras r sexists. we will EAT them. warning: this is not a metaphor. we actually eat cobraz. met a cobra @ a bar once, was super sexist n' mean. ate his head off. took a lot of tissues to wipe the blood off, but all in all a good night. gin n' tonix rly help get that metallic-y clot taste out...ANYWAYZ...

I digress: if u rel8 to the honey badger, you should probably join Isis...or at least eat a cobra 2 get ur angst out. Heard Isis is meeting next Wednesday (unofficially) maybe u shld show up or something.

Summer Styles: Show Your V!

Is it any surprise that vaginas are totally IN this summer season? No! 

Summer=good, Vaginas=better = Summer=Vagina=Trendy=A DO! 

We give this guy 4 points for irony (a whole 4? well aren't we the generous folk today)

Point 1: He is smirking (universal face signal of snarky teens everywhere)

Point 2: It appears he is in a laundromat (eco & economically friendly!)

Point 3: He is bi-lingual ("viva" es espanol y "vagina" es american)

Point 4: Re-usable tote bag

The judges had some debate: is he a true v-rebel or just a communist in disguise (i.e. the viva, the communal laundromats), but we decided to leave politics aside and grant him the full four anyways.

So if this ironic QT is IN, then what's OUT? Thong-one-piece swimwear! Why? For the simple reason that it looks like that nylon fabric is tuggin' real hard on her coochie snorcher! We v-rebels are anti anything pro-vagina-ouch.

Listen Up, Fordham:

Guilty as charged. Just finished up our last dress rehearsal for The Vagina Monologues. What started out as seemingly stressful, naughty, hilarious, rebellious and fun all of a sudden turned very serious and very real. While running through the monologues, it was soon realized that we were sitting with someone who had been raped. That "someone" is a cast mate, friend and Fordham student. It all started making sense: this is why we do Vagina Monologues. She said that until now, until she heard some one else act out their own confession that she too could break her own silence. 

Fordham doesn't want to talk about sex, they don't want to talk about your needs, they don't want to talk about what happened to you or what they can do for you, they don't want to talk about rape. If they won't then we will. 

Why does it take a banned play in the South Lounge that happens once a year  for the topic of sexual violence to arise, be discussed, and exposed on campus? And yes we realize there is a freshman year handbook-sexual-policy seminar: we're not referring to that. It doesn't count. But then again, neither do we I guess? We're not supported by student affairs are we?

All the more power for us to keep doing what we do. Why? Because perhaps no one else will.

But moreover:

Because we fucking can.
