I'm Quite Impressed

With THIS. I am a bit of an SVU fan; I adore Mariska Hargitay's character Olivia Benson. My daughter and I have loved the show since it started, probably because Olivia is so powerful, (and powerful women are so unusual in TV these days) and she gets to kick ass! As feminist role models for young women go, she's not too shabby.

I was even more impressed when I looked at her website Mariska.com and found the link to Joyful Heart Organisation. It's probably not for everyone; it doesn't come across as radical, but it feels SAFE.

I like it. I like the intention behind it. It's working for me at this moment and I intend to hang around there for a while.

It's a great idea.

As for SVU, I have to confess that I can't watch it as I hate hate hate her partner.

Looks like The King of All Trolls is doing the rounds: He's copied and pasted that same vile rant on a few other blogs, including Txfeminist's. She dealt with him by putting his arse in the new 'troll party' section of her blog. Great idea!
