My Collective Shout signature promotion -

I was thinking of a little slogan that may be of use to those of you to whom it applies - I want something to post under my signature on everything I write from now on, to promote the group and…Continue

Greeting cards HIGHLY offensive to women

Started Nov 9, 2010 0 Replies

Another issue is that of greeting cards. In my view, this issue really does hammer home that offense toward women is acceptable. I was looking for one for Dad's birthday the other day and I have…Continue

I am usually irritated by all the rubbish out there, but was horrified at seeing an ad for Beauty & the Geek (by accident, as I don't watch much vapid commercial TV and certainly try to steer…Continue

What does CS think about the idea of T-shirts, badges, stickers etc to promote this social change vehicle? Are there already such things available? If so, where? I am sure there are many more people…Continue

Denigration of intelligence as well as denigration of women

Posted on October 23, 2010 at 12:00am 5 Comments

I am usually irritated by things I see everywhere, but I have been seeing the odd ad for Beauty & the Geek (by accident, as I don't watch much vapid commercial TV and certainly try to steer clear of the even stupider ads) and tonight, while watching a great sci-fi film, I saw an ad for it that made me shudder. It showed your typical Playboy bunny type in bikinis- that of course is female beauty, so they tell us - and "geeks", that is, I take it, men characterised by intelligence -…

Is Collective Shout for people of all persuasions?

Posted on October 13, 2010 at 11:25am 22 Comments

I am an atheist and Pro-Choice supporter. Given that there are certain views in the public sphere that this organisation might be a vehicle for the religious right, I need to ask - is it a site open to people of all views to come together collectively for the anti-exploitation campaigns at face value? Does the organisation welcome diversity? Are there other members who share my views, or is the site a club with a hidden agenda? I would like other members of my particular persuasion to contact… Continue

Hi Meg. I would like to discuss. Currently I devote a lot of my spare time to another organisation. I have only recently sign up for CS but have known MTR for some time thru other channels. I'm not sure of what a bluestockings meetup group is?

Sorry I am so late in replying. I visited this website after hearing about it on Q&A and it ended up as a bit of one-off. I agree with your comment re lingerie/underwear. Much of the underwear for boys also have inappropriate sayings such as "beast" on it - heartily fed up with the nonsense that goes on in regard to children. Saw your other comment. I am also an atheist with a healthy respect for religion and pro-choice. I was heartened to see that reports like the one put together by the Australia Institute about the sexualisation of children. Cheers, Evie
