I want to start a feminist website...

(I took this pic from the site, don't sue me)

Here's one reason why...

I love the show Weeds. http://www.sho.com/site/weeds/home.do Not only is is funny, eyebrow raising, and interesting, it's well written, well filmed, and written by a woman. I've tolorated and accepted the minimal nudity for these reasons. There's so much crap television/film with nudity it's a heated topic for me, because our culture is becoming nothing but cheap mainstream pornography. Weeds is intelligent so I can respect it.

I have mixed feelings about the video I'm posting.

Mary-Louise Parker (star of Weeds) has reported that she regrets the nude scenes she's filmed for the show. Not only does she regret it, she had to fight with the director about it.

I've been contimplating starting a feminist website, and this confirms it for me.

When a woman doesn't want to share her body with an international audience, she shouldn't have to fight, beg, LOOSE the battle about HER body. I'm happy Mary-Louise is SO awesome for fighting it, and speaking out about it.
