Hi, I just wanted to ask if the Dames as a project still exists? I really liked the videos and I'm a bit confused why you were suddenly disappearing without a formal goodbye or something. (and anyway, if it's really over, than I still want to say thank you for doing it, I think it really was necessary :) )
Aw thank you! Weâve not called a proper definitive end to it hence no formal goodbye - but I think all our lives have changed a lot since we started and none of us have the time to vlog like we used to. Maybe weâll make videos in the future, but I donât think regular or consistent vlogging is on the cards for any of us these days. Jenn xx
I not very long ago found your blog and I completely love it. It stands for everything I do and I want to take a more pro active role in feminism and LGBT rights (being a bisexual woman!) What can I do to more involved?
Ah this is such a lovely message thank you! <3
Well it depends what you mean by involved. As far as I am concerned, you don't have to go to groups or attend marches to positively make a difference in the world. Simply talking to your friends and family and people you know about shit stuff in the world and living your life in a way that is authentic to your beliefs does a lot to challenge and resist oppression.
But I assume this question is more about how to get involved with the more active modes of resistance and general feminist-queer community. In which case, looking out for local feminist/queer groups is invaluable! Googling feminist/queer groups in your area could be a big help - there might be book clubs or something or regular meet ups and social activities or organising activities. Looking into charities and volunteering opportunities (if that is accessible to you) might also be good for getting more involved. Once you enter those spaces and create more relationships with politically active people...it's hard to not to get involved in everyone's side projects and you get this regular stream of updates and work within those communities so there's plenty of opportunities to be like 'oh i'll give you a hand'. And if there is a lack of any of those things around you, or none of them are quite right - make your own! I know Steph, who's done some rad vlogs on here, set up a feminist book group in her area. You could try something similar, or a discussion group.Â
Lastly online community is amazing and energising and also has the advantage that if you are getting burnt out and need a break from activism you can log off (harder to do in real life sometimes when all your friends are involved and your support network is rooted in the very thing you need a bit of a rest from). It also means that you can engage with EVERYONE IN THE WORLD and not just people who are geographically close to you. Feminist blogs have been so key in the growth of my feminism because it gave me the opportunity to listen to a lot of women's voices and learn from them, their experience and their wisdom that just isn't represented in more mainstream and popular discourse. I hope some of that helped!Much love, Jenn xox
I am so happy that I found this blog, thank you so much for putting it together and maintaining it! Are all of you dames friends in person, or did you come together online to create this tumblr?
Aw thanks <3 not sure how good we've been at maintaining it (at least not me). We're all friends in person, although we kind of got talking about it online before everyone had met everyone and then we got to be friends with Subi after she joined...but we all live p far away so don't all see each other often. Jenn xx

Trigger warning for eating disorders/disordered eating, self harm and racism
"When I was thirteen years old I began starving myself. I did so, in short, because I wanted so desperately to be thin. And by thin, I mainly meant white."
This is a FANTASTIC article by one of our guest vloggers and all round wonderbabe, take care reading because parts can be triggering, but I found it really healing.Â
I love you all! I recently found your videos, and I just want to say that you have improved my self confidence so much. I feel so much better about my body! Thank you! <3
Aww thank you for sending such a lovely message! I'm so glad our videos have had such a positive impact, this is exactly why we wanted to make them ^_^Hooray for body positivity and self confidence, you're awesome <3

Donât ever compliment me by insulting other women. Thatâs not a compliment, itâs a competition none of us agreed to.

People want to believe gender is something thatâs essential, and people repeat these essentialist ideas all the time. âOh, women do thatâ and âOh, men do thatâ and the reality is that all women donât anything. We as individuals do what we do, you know, and sometimes thatâs informed by gender and sometimes itâs just who we are. And I think all that just makes people really, really uncomfortable because they donât want to think about who they are.

I am a lesbian woman of Color whose children eat regularly because I work in a university. If their full bellies make me fail to recognize my commonality with a woman of Color whose children do not eat because she cannot find work, or who has no children because her insides are rotted from home abortions and sterilization; if I fail to recognize the lesbian who chooses not to have children, the woman who remains closeted because her homophobic community is her only life support, the woman who chooses silence instead of another death, the woman who is terrified lest my anger trigger the explosion of hers; if I fail to recognize them as other faces of myself, then I am contributing not only to each of their oppressions but also to my own, and the anger which stands between us then must be used for clarity and mutual empowerment, not for evasion by guilt or for further separation. ********I am not free while any woman is unfree, even when her shackles are very different from my own. And I am not free as long as one person of Color remains chained. Nor is anyone of you.***********

NEW VIDEO: How to Filter and Blacklist Comments on @YouTube! [We talked about this feature a lot on the #womenonyoutube panel and Fighting Sexism on YouTube panel]
Wonderful tips from Rosianna!
-Sahitya
We do this, it's genuinely been super helpful because now we don't have to go through and moderate ALL comments, just the ones that hit the blacklist.
YouTube comments arenât âjust the Internet.â Theyâre not the product of a group of otherwise nice guys who suddenly become evil when they wear a veil of anonymity. YouTube comments are actually a nightmarish glimpse into the sexist attitudes that define the fabric of our own existence in the âreal world,â a world that, like YouTube, is owned and dominated by men. The most terrifying gift that the Internet has given us is that itâs shown us how men honestly perceive the world: as a place where women exist exclusively for their sexual pleasure. In the wake of VidCon, and as more and more women start speaking up about the harassment they face online, itâs time to start realizing that our narrative of progress is deeply flawed. Things arenât getting better for women on the Internet; theyâre deteriorating and ignoring the problem amounts to being complicit in it.

The thing that I've noticed about feminist comments and videos and antifeminist comments and videos is that the feminist ones are addressing a problem and critiquing our culture while antifeminist ones are attacking the feminist and/or original commenter/video. It's like the antifeminist, or MRA in a lot of cases, are trying to beat down the people to silence them while the feminists, in non radical cases, are trying to bring to light issues that have been silenced/deeply embedded in our culture
YES THIS EXACTLY.
