You are at Spacefem.com... I'm really very sorry! Explaining this website is a pretty futile effort, but most people like the quizzes so that should keep you amused for a bit, the wiki is always evolving, and of course you should check out our t-shirts and stuff. But most important: join the Spacefem.com Forums! We love meeting new freaky weirdos like us!
That's right, I like to make stuff.
This will convert your name to a class listed in the Dewey Decimal System. That's right... somewhere between 000 (Generalities) and 999 (Extraterrestrial worlds) you have a place, and through the magic of internet we can find it through random arbitrary letter decoding. Plus this gives me a chance to mention how wonderful libraries are... don't forget to go read something, yes? Take this quiz...
If you're a total quiz nut, check out all the spacefem quizzes and you will be completely entertained today.

"Math isn't about how smart you are but how long you are willing to feel dumb without giving up."
I googled this out of curiosity but found nothing, so I'm giving him the credit for the quote.
I like this.
I've always felt dumb in math classes, even though I never thought I wasn't smart enough to do it, and it made me think there was still something wrong with me. But at least now I know I'm probably on the right track!

I have this conversation way too often:
Someone: Why do we need feminism? If you want to make the world better for everyone, why not just equalism, or everyoneism, or
Me: Because horrible things are happening to women. Disproportionate rape and domestic violence and blatantly unfair laws in other counties... I could go on.
Someone: Well that's obvious. But those aren't feminist issues, they're human issues.
So it begs the question, when is something a feminist issue, and why do we need this label? I feel like way too often we want to define "feminist issue" as "something only women care about". And that's why we think we don't need feminism... because I can't think of anything

An editorial was published in this month's issue of Plus Model magazine highlighting some statistics about the modeling industry. Specifically, the contrasting sizes of "normal" and "plus-sized" models and the average American woman.
I knew things were getting to be ridiculous, and, quite frankly, disparaging for a lot of women I have spoken to, but I had no idea what the statistics actually were. This article was an eye-opener for me.
Here:
There's a link at the bottom of that summary to the original post, which I cannot access from this particular computer, or I would post that.
A few of these statistics really struck me.

Flippin' through the boob tube last night, I came across a documentary on Logo about an MtF transgendered woman (Michelle something) competing on a women's mountain biking competition circuit, and it got me thinking.
First of all, let me say this -- I've never understood gender-segregating

Okay guys, I've bitched and moaned about this game for the longest time because Lucasfilm decided that, rather than give us a single player RPG of Knights of the Old Republic 3, it would be much better to release a MMO that takes place 300 years later, and write a really crappy bridge novel to cover what KOTOR 3 ought to have covered. I wasn't even sure I was going to want to buy it.
Then the opportunity happened that I was able to get a free copy (basically, I was a costumed volunteer at EA Los Angeles' release day employee party wearing my KOTOR costume, and we were paid in free video games). For the price of free, I had to at least try it, right?
I can't help it. I am

So, Skyrim was released almost two months ago, to the noise and fanfare of glorious dragon shouts. Its coming was much heralded and much celebrated. There was even a thread here about it, where many enthused and a few This year, Egyptian officials admitted to forcing virginity tests to women taken into custody after protests. And by "virginity tests" I mean sexual assault, plain and simple. It's an annual tradition - celebrate our high posters, topic starters, bright newbies, annoying trolls... you name it. The annual forum awards!
1. Gameplay, or "I like the part where I behead that monster with a mace, and the part where I marry next" 
So, you run around in either first or third person. You can talk to people and have conversations enabled through clickable responses, learn about quests or build relationships through these responses, you can interact with objects to pick them up or lift them around, you can pickpocket people, and so on. You can have combat with a weapon (ranged or melee), a shield, or magic. It is all controlled the same way, with left or right clicks (on a PC).

According to Greta Van Susteren, "feminists" have totally overlooked this because we're so self-absorbed we barely know there is an Egypt, and so politically correct we love Muslim extremists more than women's rights:
