Rebuttal From Uranus
Ripping the inanely sexist 'Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus' to bits - whoohooo!

About Face
Critique of negative body images in advertising and the media.

Whack-A-Thatcher!
A nifty little page that allows you to do some serious damage to every self-respecting Pommie's most hated Tory.

Big Bad Chinese Mama
Want a submissive Oriental mail order bride? Best go elsewhere, these "brides" gleefully describe themselves as "the arse-kicking anti-geisha mail order brides from hell!"

Ipoka
Internet promotions of all kinds of Kiwi artists.

A Woman's Guide On How To Pee Standing Up
Rivetting reading for all drunken partygoers.

On The Issues
A quarterly magazine examining a huge variety of issues.

Gender and Society: Nature or Nurture
Some handy resources and links on gender.

God Loves Fags
Once you get over the awful name (which relates to the name of anti-gay fundamentalist site 'God Hates Fags') you'll find great ammunition for arguing with all those obnoxious fundies who want gay people gassed. Includes a rebuttal of the conservative fundamentalists' misinterpretation of the Bible and Christianity.

The Heartless Bitch Page
That stands for 'Being In Control, Honey'. Highlights include making fun of bad websites and sneering at hate-mail writers and halfwit B.I.T.C.H applicants who can’t spell correctly. At last, someone else as passionate about the apostrophe as moi!

Hissyfit
Cheery femme fun.

Three Way Action
It's not like that - honest!! Seriously - a good place to hang out and chat.

Democratic Underground
For those of us who are scared shitless by the thought of Dubya with his finger on the trigger. My personal favourite columns: The Top Ten Conservative Idiots (like most of them aren't) and Ask Auntie Pinko!

Canadian World Domination
Not content with inflicting Celine bloody Dion on the world, now Canada wants to rule the entire planet! Blame Canada indeed!

Female Genital Mutilation and Gender Apartheid in Afghanistan
Ugggggghhhhh..... self explanatory, really.

Men Abused By Women
Most sites dealing with women's violence against men is riddled with anti-feminist dreck about how female violence is a big feminist conspiracy, yada yada yada. And many feminist sites focus on man-on-woman violence, ignoring the serious feminist issue of woman-on-man violence. It's great to find a site that is both pro-feminist and that deals with this serious, yet ignored subject.

Women In The Military
Dispelling the bullshit.

Salon Magazine
An excellent left-leaning online magazine.

Feminism and Free Speech: Pornography
Exploding the myths that porn is inherently harmful and that only men watch it.

Misogyny, Gangsta Rap, and 'The Piano' by 'bell hooks' (the lower case is the way she writes it. Yes, it irritates the fuck out of me too.)
At last, someone else who hates the sodding Piano for much the same reasons as me! Yes, I know bell hooks has a tendency to spout bollocks - never take too much notice of someone who uses the term “sexist/patriarchal” in the same sentence twice - but she’s largely right on this one. And Harvey Keitel is about as Maaori as I am, so screw you Jane Campion.

Just As Fierce
Katherine Dunn rejects the stereotypical notion that women are less aggressive than men.

Zapping the Myth of Zits
There's good news and there's bad news. The good news is that acne isn't affected by diet. The bad news is that acne isn't affected by diet.

Women Crusaders
Women fought alongside men in the Crusades, despite being expressly forbidden to join. This fascinating site examines their role in the Crusades, and how the Crusades affected their lives.

A Boke of Gode Cookery
Medieval recipies for twenty-first century kitchens. Stwed Beeff and Apple Muse anyone?

Robin Hood Ballads
Full texts of some of the early modern and modern Robin Hood ballads and plays.

Robin Hood: Bold Outlaw of Sherwood
A great site with information on everything Hoodish, from the original medieval ballads to the eighties classic Robin of Sherwood.

Renascence Editions
An online repository of works printed in English 1477 and 1799.

Women Pirates
Yay! Pirates! A site with information on the most notorious female pirates. I suppose as a history student I should disapprove of the romantic gloss they put over piracy...but sod it, I'm just as prone to the charm of storybook characterisation as everyone else.

The full text of 'The Subjugation of Women' by John Stuart Mill
JSM was a man ahead of his time. In the 19th century he was condemning the shite deal women got, and was responsible for inspiring thousands of suffragettes, including Australian 'Polly Plum', who helped inspire the movement in New Zealand. He did still think that women were 'naturally' destined for home and hearth, but you can't expect miracles - as Victorians go he was incredibly radical.

The full text of Mary Wollstonecraft's 'A Vindication of the Rights of Women'
Even more out there was Wollstonecraft, the first feminist writer.

The full text of 'The Tenant Of Wildfell Hall' by Anne Bronte
'The Tenant of Wildfell Hall' (1848) makes the outrageous assertion that sometimes women have no choice but to leave a marriage. It's ofthen considered the first feminist novel, a tag I'm not entirely keen on as I think this is something of a snub to Jane Austen, amongst others.

Feminist Science Fiction
Hooray! My two favourite things combined!

An Excellent Woman: The Official Barbara Pym Homepage
Enter the lost world of spinsters, clergymen and unworldly academics - 1930s Oxford life as described by novelist Barbara Pym.

Martin Amis Web
He's an ex-boyfriend of Germaine Greer, his favourite Austen hero is Elizabeth Bennett and he has a warped sense of humour. What's not to like?

From The Window
A magazine of journalism, poetry, travelogues and experiential writing from people in all walks of life and all parts of the globe. FTM is edited by thirteen year old Hero Joy Nightingale, a self described 'pretentious and pompous crip child'.

The Games
Capture the final frantic preparations for the 2000 Olympics with Head of Administration and Logistics, John Clarke, and his colleagues, Bryan Dawe, Head of Accounts, Budgeting and Finance, and Gina Riley, Marketing and Liaison Manager. No, just kidding! Capture the political bungles and incompetent organisation of the Sydney 2000 Olympics in this mockmentary by ex-pat New Zealander John Clarke.

The Tony Hancock Appreciation Society
Stone me, what a life! A site dedicated to the best British comedian of them all. Nominal feminist connection: 'Hancock's Half Hour' featured not one, not two, but three great British comediennes, first Moira Lister, then Andreé Melly, then Hattie Jacques. Marvelous, innit?

Judith Proctor's Blake's 7 Site
The biggest site on the web devoted to my favourite sci-fi show.

The Lurker's Guide To Babylon 5
This B5 fan site is packed with everything you could possibly want to know on the only classic sci-fi series of the nineties.

Why Babylon 5 is Better Than Star Trek
You knew it anyway, but here's the proof.

The Goodies
Silly fun from the seventies.

The Unofficial Guide to Cracker
A great site on one of the best crime dramas of the nineties.
