How many feminists does it take to screw in a light bulb?

Three. One to screw it in and two to make a documentary of it.

Check out "Daughters of Feminists" (Cindy Mangsen sings it; I forget who wrote it.)

Seems as good a place as any to plug Gerri Gribi's excellent website on women's and feminist music, Creative Folk, home to (among other great stuff) her Womansong Collection.

Hey, there's comedy in anything if you put your mind to it. Also, any feminist with a sense of humor is OK with me.

The VERY excellent West Australian duo, DORIS, could probably come under this category - an absolute hoot! (but they also do sensitive and thoughtful and beautiful material) : Jane Cornes and Margie Hanley (and yes, I think they have a CD out) ...


Cheers! R-J

"Daughters of Feminists" (referred to above) was written by the BRILLIANT Canadian singer/ songwriter Nancy White, any of whose CDs are well worth acquiring.

Comedy rules! more women should get into it. Its still a bit of a boys club im afraid. Men often say that they like funny women but what they often mean is...'as long as they're not funnier than me'. A bit like David Brent from The Office : 'I'd like a woman who is as intelligent as me...or maybe a bit less intelligent'.

Feminist comedy = oxymoron?

I think i know what you're getting at, you mean the man hating Jo Brand variety of comedy. I think that can be too destructive. I am a woman and I write comedy but I wouldn't describe it as feminist. Its mainly satire, taking the piss.

Intelligent satire - now that's the stuff of good comedy, IMHO.

Good one, Greg...

And don't even suggest that a feminist might not be ABLE to change a light bulb without a man's help!

If you are of the Judeo-Christian persuasion, or are just open-minded about religion, check out the Book of Judith in the Bible. (The Apocrypha if your Bible is based on the KJV.) Judith is just one of the most bodacious kick-ass heroes in history. And she's a woman in what is
usually regarded as a "male dominated religion." I think maybe the awareness of Judith was suppressed by a lot of church bureaucrats for
a long time. But check it out, you won't be sorry.

Loved that 'They Sent a Wummen' song, Dick. I want to hear it again in October. Do you know who wrote it?
