B-Sides: Is She & Him's Gender-Swapped "Baby It's Cold Outside" Less Date Rape-y Than the Original?

by Kelsey Wallace on December 6, 2011 at 12:17pm
On their latest album A Very She & Him Christmas, Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward cover the creepy (yet catchy—creetchy?) classic with a twist: Deschanel is the “wolf” to M. Ward’s “mouse.” Does this make the song any less of a problem?

Bitch Radio: Jaclyn Friedman Wants to Help You Find <em>What You Really Really Want</em>

by Deb Jannerson on November 18, 2011 at 12:32pm
Given all the conflicting messages young women get about their sexuality from all sides—media, church, family, friends, and more—how do we figure out what we want to say “yes” to in the first place? So begins Jaclyn Friedman’s fabulous new workbook. What You Really Really Want: The Smart Girl’s Shame-Free Guide to Sex and Safety sets out to help readers move toward sex lives that are as personally fulfilling as possible. I sat down with Jaclyn at the 2011 Roots of Change Conference to talk about  her hopes for the book, sexual autonomy, pop culture, surviving haterdom, and whether that title is what you think it is. Care to listen in?

B-Sides: Tender Forever's "Congratulations" Tour

by Kelsey Wallace on November 15, 2011 at 1:18pm
If I wasn’t already a big fan of French/Portlander musician Tender Forever (I was), I would be after seeing her “Congratulations” tour last week. Currently traveling down the West Coast, “Congratulations” is an all-ages tour that combines Tender Forever’s amazing stage presence and music with a bunch of weirder-than-life YouTube videos. It’s like going to an awkward house party with no booze and finding out that your friend’s sister’s friend is playing and she’s the best electro pop performer ever. It rules.

B-Sides: Teri Gender Bender, the Feminist-Not-Feminist

by Mac Pogue on November 8, 2011 at 2:43pm
“I consider myself a self-proclaimed feminist but not in the same way that other people would think of a feminist. I’m not a man-hater.” Yes! Wait, what? Teri Gender Bender bites off a lot more than most people could chew with her roving gang of Butcherettes—including the drug wars in Mexico, being ostracized in both of her homes on either side of the Mexico-US border, and the stupidity of gender oppression. But she’s totally not like all those other feminists, right?
