Feminist Father has great rules for dating!

It's wonderful to see not only a father share that he is a feminist, but to lay down some pretty awesome rules for dating his daughter that put the choice and control in the hands...of his daughter. We need more dads like this one!

The first conversation is in the form of an argument.

Guerrillas at the New York Art Book Fair

It was a great pleasure for Guerrilla Girls BroadBand to participate at this year's annual New York Art Book Fair. Taking place at the MOMA center at P.S. 1 in Long Island City, New York, the Art Book Fair brought together some of the most ingenious artists and activists on the current scene. As one of the participating Guerrilla Girls, I had a chance to engulf myself in the "ooohs" and "ahhs" escaping the mouths of the spectators at the remarkable exhibitions and items put on display.
