How can women get equality ? Strike ! | Women | The Guardian
▻http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2021/mar/14/how-can-women-get-equality-strike
On 24 October 1975, 75,000 women in Iceland left their jobs, children and homes and took to the streets for a general strike that was billed “Women’s Day Off”. In Reykjavik, 30,000 women marched up the Laugavegur (wash road), as a women’s brass band played the marching tune from Shoulder to Shoulder, a British TV series about the suffragettes which had recently aired in this small Nordic nation. Flyers fluttered against clear autumn skies: “We march because it is commonly said about a housewife: ‘She is not working, she is just keeping house’,” they read. “We march because the work experience of a housewife is not considered of any value in the labour market.”
#Hadley_Freeman : Y a-t-il rien de plus merveilleux qu’un homme qui te mecsplique ce que signifie être une femme ?

Une de mes nouvelles récentes préférées – et de très loin – est le compte rendu de deux féministes qui se sont rendues, les seins nus, à une séance de natation réservée aux hommes à Dulwich, au sud de Londres, en expliquant qu’elles s’identifiaient ce jour-là comme des hommes… Un vieux monsieur a d’abord semblé confus. « Je lui ai dit que j’étais un homme et il m’a répondu : « Oh vraiment ? » », a ensuite expliqué une des femmes aux journalistes. « C’était une réaction très britannique. » D’autres hommes présents à la piscine ont fait preuve de moins d’équanimité et se sont plaints à la réception.
Le mot d’ordre de cette manifestation intitulée #ManFriday été lancé sur le forum internet Mumsnet, un foyer réconfortant de féminisme radical de nos jours, dans le cadre d’une campagne contre certains changements proposés à la Loi sur la reconnaissance du sexe au Royaume-Uni. Actuellement, toute personne qui veut changer de sexe légal doit avoir vécu dans le sexe choisi pendant deux ans et avoir obtenu un diagnostic médical de dysphorie sexuelle. Si les changements proposés sont adoptés tels quels, toute personne deviendra en mesure de se déclarer femme ou homme, qu’elle ait ou non apporté des changements réels à son mode de vie ou à son corps. C’est ce qu’on appelle « l’auto-déclaration » et les réactions exprimées à ce jour ont confirmé l’aphorisme célèbre de Margaret Atwood : « Les hommes ont peur que les femmes se moquent d’eux, tandis que les femmes ont peur que les hommes les tuent. » Les hommes ont généralement ignoré cet enjeu, jusqu’à ce qu’il fasse irruption dans leur vestiaire, tandis que beaucoup de femmes ont fait valoir que les hommes prédateurs pourraient désormais s’imposer sans contestation dans des espaces réservés aux femmes.

Fade to grey: why women should stop dyeing their hair - The Guardian
▻http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2016/apr/25/fade-to-grey-why-women-should-stop-dyeing-their-hair
Almost 15 years ago, Anne Kreamer looked at a picture of herself, didn’t like her “brown helmet”, and stopped colouring her hair. She was a 46-year-old businesswoman working in the US. Her subsequent book was the chirpily titled Going Gray: How to Embrace Your Authentic Self With Grace and Style; she says it’s been liberating in every aspect of her life. “There are so many myths about going grey that, when you get through the undeniably difficult growing-out phase, you realise are total hogwash,” she says. “About how you’ll look old. About how you’ll look as if you’ve let yourself go. About how you can never have long hair again. About how you’re invisible. About how you’ll kill your career. It’s simply not true.”
My own revelation came between custard and pasta. Five minutes earlier, during my weekly shop, I had been trying to work out which magic box of hair colour to shove in the trolley. Sod it, I thought, I’ll get it another time. By the time I reached the till, I had made a decision – to ditch the dye and let my hair grow naturally. At 43, I knew my hair wasn’t dark any more, hence the three-weekly sessions over the bath – done in a bid to remind myself I was a brunette. It was smelly, ruining my hair, costing me time and money – and wasn’t fooling anyone that I was still 23.

Buying begets buying: how stuff has consumed the average American’s life | Life and style | The Guardian
▻http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2015/oct/20/consumption-consumerism-americans-buying-stuff
Our addiction to consuming things is a vicious cycle, and buying a bigger house to store it all isn’t the answer. Here’s how to get started on downsizing
The personal storage industry rakes in $22bn each year, and it’s only getting bigger. Why?
I’ll give you a hint: it’s not because vast nations of hoarders have finally decided to get their acts together and clean out the hall closet.
It’s also not because we’re short on space. In 1950 the average size of a home in the US was 983 square feet. Compare that to 2011, when American houses ballooned to an average size of 2,480 square feet – almost triple the size.
Cancer-detecting dogs approved for NHS trial | Life and style | The Guardian
▻http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2015/aug/08/cancer-detecting-dogs-nhs-trial-milton-keynes-prostate?CMP=share_btn_tw
Dogs capable of sniffing out #cancer have been approved for use in a trial by the NHS.
The charity Medical Detection Dogs has gained approval from Milton Keynes University Hospital for further trials, after an initial study showed specially trained dogs can detect #prostate tumours in urine in 93% of cases.
It is hoped canine testing could help show up inaccuracies in the traditional Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) test, used to determine if men need a biopsy. The test has a high “false positive” rate, and many men are unnecessarily referred for the invasive procedure.
Les couleurs de Berlin font place au noir et blanc
Flashmob : Diner en Blanc lockt weiß gekleidete Berliner zum Reichstag - Berlin - Berliner Morgenpost
▻http://www.morgenpost.de/berlin/article129081865/Diner-en-Blanc-lockt-weiss-gekleidete-Berliner-zum-Reichstag.html
Sie kamen von allen Seiten, mit Picknickkörben, Klappstühlen und kleinen Tischen. Nach und nach füllte sich die Wiese vor dem Reichstag mit Menschen, die ganz in Weiß gekleidet waren.
2500 Menschen beim Picknicken im Lustgarten
Traditionell verabredet man sich zu dem gemeinsamen Essen an einem öffentlichen, besonders bekannten Ort. In Berlin traf man sich unter anderen auf dem Bebelplatz und am Gendarmenmarkt.
Im vergangenen Jahr waren etwa 2500 Menschen zum Picknicken in den Lustgarten gekommen.
Depuis quelques années Berlin se remplit de gens qui forment une société parallèle inoffensive au premier regard. Dans la capitale des chômeurs et Hartz-IV c’est pour le moins bizarre quand se réunit une foule de gens en uniforme blanc pour célébrer un pique-nique au champage sur une des places centrales.
La couleur de deuil d’Asie et d’Afrique dégomme les vives couleurs de l’ancienne métropole cosmopolite et multiculturelle. On a l’impression d’assister à un spectacle fait pour symboliser l’asphyxie des anciens quartiers populaires par l’étreinte de l’argent. En conséquence l’auteur du plus célèbre graffitti de Kreuzberg Blu vient de répondre au blanchissement de la ville en recouvrant son oeuvre d’une couche épaisse de couleur noire.

The mysterious Diner en Blanc in Melbourne – review
▻http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/australia-food-blog/2015/mar/10/the-mysterious-diner-en-blanc-in-melbourne-review
At about 6.30pm last Saturday, close to 800 people gathered in front of the Convention and Exhibition Centre (known colloquially as Jeff’s Shed) dressed entirely in white: white shoes, white dresses, white purses, even a few white wigs.
Guests, who paid $45 each, were bused to the mystery location to enjoy a mass picnic.
It may have looked effortless, but behind the carefully constructed French insouciance was weeks upon weeks of seemingly endless preparation.
Not only were guests ordered to dress entirely in white, we had to abide by a series of strict edicts governing food, equipment and our general decorum.
Guests had to purchase their own white table (which must be smaller than 76cm x 76cm) and white foldable chairs.
We also had to bring our own three-course meal unless you opted to buy one of the pre-made hampers, although, in a concession to common sense, the food did not have to be white.
Flashmob in Weiß
▻http://www.faz.net/aktuell/gesellschaft/diner-en-blanc-flashmob-in-weiss-12221716.html
„Lebensfreude, Freundschaft, Zusammenleben, das sind die einzigen Devisen, die beim ’Dîner en blanc’ zählen“, sagt ein Pariser Arzt, der am Donnerstagabend wie auch in den Vorjahren mit zahlreichen Freunden zu dem Groß-Picknick gekommen ist. Den Ort des diesjährigen Picknicks erfuhren sie erst in letzter Minute per SMS - bis dahin machten die Organisatoren ein großes Geheimnis aus dem Treffpunkt.
Elegante Version eines Flashmobs
Denn um in Paris an dem „Dîner en blanc“ teilnehmen zu dürfen, bedarf es einer Einladung bereits Eingeweihter. Auch ist das Picknick nicht bei den Behörden angemeldet. Die Teilnehmer - vornehmlich im Yuppie-Milieu angesiedelt - dürfen sich bei der eleganten Version eines Flashmobs also wie eine Großstadt-Guerilla fühlen.
Die Polizei drückt aber stets ein Auge zu, seit vor 25 Jahren im Stadtwald Bois de Boulogne im Südwesten von Paris rund 200 Menschen der Einladung von François Pasquier zum ersten „Dîner en blanc“ folgten. „Mit dem Ethos des Savoir-vivre kann man fast alle Probleme lösen“, sagt Pasquier heute. „Es reicht, wohlerzogen zu sein, die Leute und Örtlichkeiten zu respektieren.“

Psychologist Philip Zimbardo : ‘Boys risk becoming addicted to porn, video games and Ritalin’
▻http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2015/may/09/philip-zimbardo-boys-are-a-mess
Absent fathers and feminised schools are driving boys into a disconnected online world of porn and video games, argues the academic
avec des affirmations gratuites comme :
Zimbardo, professor emeritus at Stanford University, replies that everybody needs a mother and father because they give different kinds of love. “Mothers give love unconditionally – because you came out of her body, a mother loves you. You bring home your report card and it’s all Cs? Mom will say, ‘It’s OK. Momma loves you anyway. Try harder.’
“Fathers give love provisionally. If you want your allowance, if you don’t want me to turn off your computer, then you’ve got to perform. That’s always been the deal with fathers and sons – you don’t get a pass just because you exist, just because you got my name on your birth certificate. You’re going to do it because you want your father to love you and admire you. That central source of extrinsic motivation is gone now for almost one out of every two kids.”
Princess Awesome: the fight against ’pinkification’ | Society | The Guardian
▻http://www.theguardian.com/society/2015/feb/20/princess-awesome-gender-neutral-clothing-kickstarter
After two years of making girls’ dresses featuring designs including mathematical symbols and dancing ninjas, the two women behind a US firm that aimed to fight back against the hegemony of pink found they were struggling to meet demand.
Showcasing graphics designed by rocket scientist Elishka Jepson, Princess Awesome dresses were created by Eva St Clair and Rebecca Melsky for “a different kind of girly girl because girls shouldn’t have to decide between dresses and dinosaurs, or ruffles and robots”.
At the start of the month they launched a campaign on fundraising site Kickstarter, with the aim of raising $35,000 (£23,000) by 5 March to begin factory production. Within three days they had raised the full amount. By Thursday, 2,171 backers had pledged $137,084, making it by far the highest-funded children’s clothing project in Kickstarter history.

The fightback against gendered toys | Life and style | The Guardian
▻http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2014/apr/22/gendered-toys-stereotypes-boy-girl-segregation-equality
Three years ago, while she was on maternity leave, Ros Ball and her partner, James, began a diary of their children’s lives. Their daughter Josie was three and their son Clem three months old. They wanted to record the moments when their children were made aware of gender stereotypes; when they were directed towards a view of the world in which girls and boys inhabit separate, rigid spheres of pink and blue – the first sphere passive, pretty and gentle, the second aggressive, active and strong.
The results were tweeted under the title Baby Gender Diary, and Ball, a broadcast journalist who lives in London, couldn’t believe how much there was to write about. On the first day, they went to a pantomime with a toy stall, where Josie’s older male cousins directed her straight towards the sort of item supposedly beloved of small girls: a fluffy pink tiara. One of these boys then chose a flashing torch, in pink, for himself, to which the stallholder responded: “Shall I get you that in blue?” The boy, aged about five, readily agreed to the swap.
Londres va construire une « autoroute pour vélos »

Le maire de Londres, Boris Johson, a décidé d’équiper sa ville d’une « super-autoroute de vélos », 30 kilomètres de pistes d’est en ouest dans la capitale britannique, passant notamment devant la tour de Londres, Westminster et Hyde Park. Une autre piste cyclable s’étendra aussi du nord au sud, sur 5 kilomètres. Les premiers coups de pioche doivent être donnés début mars. Les travaux s’achèveront en 2016. Une enveloppe de 161 millions de livres (217 millions d’euros) a été débloquée pour la construction.

Le corps féminin est déjà soumis à suffisamment d’injonctions, il y a déjà suffisamment de produits destinés à « corriger » ses multiples imperfections pour ne pas en plus vouloir régir et uniformiser les odeurs intimes.
Sérieusement les mecs, vous n’avez rien de plus important à faire ? On est à court de maladies mortelles et contagieuses pour lesquelles développer des vaccins ? Je ne crois pas. Alors lâchez-nous la vulve et rendez-vous vraiment utiles, merci.

Because Lambert and Charlotte were unmarried, they were required to sign the birth register together. But Lambert let Charlotte down on the handful of occasions when they made appointments to visit the registrar’s office, so Charlotte was forced to register her son under her own name. In hindsight, Lambert’s refusal to sign the document looks odd; but at the time it appeared in keeping with the beliefs of a radical activist who eschewed any connection to the state.
United front: breasts without the airbrush

The shocking thing about Laura Dodsworth’s pictures of 100 women’s breasts isn’t the flesh on show, or the many shapes and sizes, but the realisation that images of unairbrushed, non-uniform breasts seem to be so rare.
“We see images of breasts everywhere,” says the 41-year-old photographer, “but they’re unreal. They create an unflattering comparison but also an unobtainable ideal. I wanted to rehumanise women through honest photography.”

Lucky Dr Kent Brantly, the American doctor who has recovered from Ebola, having been given a dose of the experimental antibody serum Zmapp, whizzed home to the US, and given another dose. He is now thanking God for saving his life. Through the medical team and drugs, he admits, but ultimately, it seems, God was in charge. And he chose Brantly, not the other 1,200 mainly west African people who have died horribly, which seems a bit picky.
