Hey all! Amelia is letting me contribute to this lovely Feminist blog, so you'll be seeing more of my posts in the future. Just as an introduction, I am a young Philosophy/French major at my local university, and I do activism for our university Feminist organization frequently. I will be looking to complete my undergraduate thesis on domestic violence someone in the next year or so.
I have self-identified as a Feminist for only two years. My "conversion" was fueled mostly by the welcoming and awesome Women's Studies 101 class I took my Freshman year. I place myself on the radical side of feminism, à la Dworkin. I am anti-pornography, pro-choice, and generally just the kind of liberal that makes liberals look conservative.
I am really looking forward to contributing as much as a I can, and as constructively as possible. I am more interested in the theory side of Feminism, so you will probably see a lot of commentary in that vein. I am really honored to have the chance to contribute here!

I am happy to have you here, Jen. :)
It would be interesting, sometime, to talk about pornography. In my Gender and Women's Studies 101 class at the beginning of this school year, we had to write a paper in which we either took an anti- or pro-pornography stance. I can see both sides of the argument, actually; my opinion on the matter is not completely formed.
But welcome, and thanks for your contributions already!
Welcome Jen!
