Slate’s Meghan O’Rourke, Hannah Rosin, and of course the Gabfest’s own Emily Bazelon launch their terrific XXfactor blog into its own women’s magazine today, DoubleX.
Shipping off for graduate school in New York means that I keep new company, which in turn has made me more aware of my particular biases as an advocate – I’m no longer passionate about feminism and feminist theory as I once was.
DoubleX seems right up my alley, though, and this video is a fantastic introduction. I like O’Rourke’s spin:
Women’s magazines seem to assume that you want to inhabit a very particular kind of identity, and one of the things we’re trying to do is explore many different kinds of identities and do it with a sense of playful inquiry rather than being doctrinaire either on the side of seriousness or on the side of frivolity.
