Each month Sexing the Political will ask readers to respond to a question dealing with some aspect of third wave feminism. Usually the question will be related to the issue of women’s sexuality, however, in attempt to avoid being too narrow in our approach, some questions will be more general. We will choose some responses to post the following month.
Please give a brief (no longer than 8 sentences) response to the following question. Feel free to include your name, age, and a few words describing yourself.
This month's question: How are you working to raise awareness around issues of race, class, sexual orientation, and other layers of oppression within third wave feminism?

Dear Sexing the Political:
Just a short comment about "The Feminism of Everyday Life" from Vol 1, Number 1, by Melisse Gelula. I just wanted to say that I am in my final semester of college and have long had the foresight to be...frustrated?...scared?....unprepared?...for life outside Women's Studies and inside a cubicle. I'm looking forward to hearing what this column has to say. The preface is a literal translation of so many of my thoughts.
Also, Rhonda's record review had me ROLLING with laughter. It totally ruined the whole sneaky-mission impossible-"taking a break"-at work thing I had going on. Very well done!
Thank you!

Dear STP:
I truly enjoyed Alia's article. It was fun and light, but made a good point. Certainly, we all know that stereotypes, when used as a weapon, can be damaging. However, stereotypes, when used in the sense that Alia referred to them, can be life-savers. It was nice reading something that encouraged people to relax and to see a different point of view in an intelligent manner. More such articles would be wonderful.
