OK, my last post on this, at least for today! Two other thoughts after I hit "Add Reply": It's very important to acknowledge the weight of the burden you carry as a survivor and to not be too hard on yourself. This is not easy. It takes a lot of...

I hear you loud and clear and the frustration felt by some of us is overpowering at times. We may not have power over what's done, but we have power over what we do. I once thought a great protest to illuminate some of the problems women face in ...

I too am tired of talking, tired of crying, tired of being angry-but I don't know what to do, shy of running around the world with a gun in my hands. Sharon, I share your frustration...I just read an article in the globe about special military for...

For the love of all that's holy. When is everybody going to GET IT that we live in a society that blatantly objectifies women of all ages and on all fronts. Our only value is still what slave labour can we provide and while we're at it just bend o...

I was speaking to a male friend this week about a particularly disturbing Youtube video. This friend is not exactly what I'd call a "champion of women's issues", but interestingly, his comment on the blatant misogyny of this video was "Rape is and...

Tick tock, tick tock, what the hell is with this biological clock?!

I'd like to open up the floor to any and all women who might have something to say about the female biological clock. I'm 28 years old and seem to be experiencing what I thought was only a myth! It's become a running joke amongst my friends and I, but despite the laughter, there's a real physical and emotional element that's confusing and frustrating to deal with. Is this something everyone goes through? Is it different for all? Is it our body telling us our time is running out? What is this inc… Continue

Goodbye Facebook

Goodbye Facebook...Sort of. I can reactivate my account any time, friends can still tag photos of me and my information will forever float in the embrace of Facebook cyberspace. As I sat on the Metrobus this past Friday during a heavy Newfoundland downpour, I opened up my laptop and took the few nervous steps of cutting myself out of the mega social network. I was now out of the Facebook loop forever (sort of). I'd been wanting to get off the crack-book for about a year now, prepping myself with… Continue

3. I will not endorse negative stereotypes of women in the form of playboy shirts etc.
4. I will not purchase trash magazines
5. I will blog on here more often
6. I will challenge the women in my life
7. I WILL go outside without makeup and feel beauti… Continue

Making small choices for my greater good

I gave up drinking quite naturally over the past year...It just happened. I started to get up early in the mornings, filling my weekends with art projects, with love, with things that seemed to get in the way of drinking. And I needed to do that and was glad it happened so naturally. These days, I find myself drinking a little more, not often, but when I do it's excessive and I feel out of control. I haven't ruined my life or anyone elses for that matter, but I am all too familiar with the early… Continue

The 48th Parallel Project is A ROCK ISLAND PRODUCTION.

HOUSEKEEPING

Our name was inspired by a survey of elected women in governments worldwide showing Canada in the disappointing position of #48. And over the past two years we've dropped to 50 and risen to 47....
We're a politically motivated, artistically driven platform for feminists interested in challenging the status quo.
We invite filmmakers, artists and activists to express themselves and contribute their art and ideas.
We're committed to showcasing female artists and to connecting with women around the world.
We believe we have a responsibility to support womens' struggle for human rights and equality globally.
We also believe in using art and entertainment to mix it up in the political world.
Our logo is by young Newfoundland artist Isabelle Riche. Welcome!
Please drop me a line here, anytime!
Cheers, Rosemary
