SUMMARY:Feminist Fightback Film Club Presents: Kate Bornstein is a Queer and Pleasant Danger
DESCRIPTION:At the next installment of Feminist Fightback Film Club\, we will be presenting: \n“Kate Bornstein is a Queer and Pleasant Danger” \nFor decades\, performance artist and writer\, Kate Bornstein\, has been exploding binaries and deconstructing gender—and her own identity. Trans-dyke. Reluctant polyamorist. Sadomasochist. Recovering Scientologist. Pioneering gender outlaw. \nKate Bornstein Is a Queer & Pleasant Danger joins her on her latest tour\, capturing rollicking public performances and painful personal revelations as it bears witness to Kate as a trailblazing artist-theorist-activist who inhabits a space between male and female with wit\, style and astonishing candor.By turns meditative and playful\, the film invites us on a thought-provoking journey through Kate’s world to seek answers to some of life’s biggest questions. \nWe will also be presenting: \n– Popcorn! \n– Drinks! \n– Solidarity! \n– Real authentic French Crepes! \n******Doors Open at 7pm. Tickets will be sold on a first come first serve basis*********

SUMMARY:Feminist Fightback Film Club: Valentines Day Edition
DESCRIPTION:Its Valentines Day! Come to Feminist Fightback’s film screening of She’s a Punk Rocker UK by Zillah Minx and celebrate your love of mohawks\, badass women\, the 80’s\, swearing\, neon\, drums and so forth. \nMusic\, dancing and chat to follow. \nZillah Minx ( from the band Rubella Ballet) tells the story with the women of the UK’s budding punk scene – the women before the Sex Pistols appeared on TV and revealed an underground punk world to the public. \nIt is an insight into female punk rock – a culture that has been greatly misunderstood and misrepresented in the media. Their stories explore the experiences of being a punk rocker\, life stores\, gigs\, fashion\, music\, Politics\, friends\, relationships and events. \nThe present media interest in punk rock is a male dominated vision of the era. This documentary specifically reassesses womens roles in a dynamic movement that irreversibly changed the face of society\, politics\, art and music. \nFeaturing women punk rockers from bands of the era including Poly Styrene of X-Ray Spex\, Vi Subversa of Poison Girls\, Eve Libertine & Gee of Crass\, Gaye Black of The Adverts\, Michelle of Brigandage\,Ruth & Janet of Hagar The Womb and journalists\, authors and photographers Julie Burchill and Caroline Comb and more. \nTickets on the door\nWaged = £4.50\nUnwaged = £2.50 \nWe’ll be selling popcorn\, beer\, wine and juice. \nThe last film we showed was 80’s revolutionary sci-fi Born in Flames\, which was a huge success. Thanks to everyone who turned up\, enjoyed the awesome soundtrack\, and made it fun. \nFilm club will take place every month and is open to all genders and none. \nNext time we’ll be showing Salt of the Earth\, which details the 1951 miners strike against the Zinc empire in New Mexico\, particularly focusing on the role of women within the strike\, and was blacklisted by the Hollywood establishment.

SUMMARY:Feminist Fightback Film Club: Born In Flames
DESCRIPTION:Made in 1983\, ‘Born in Flames’ (dir. Lizzie Borden) is an incredible docu-drama/ sci fi film set in the future\, ten years after a social democratic revolution which has established American Socialism. \nHowever\, Black and working-class women are not happy with this form of reformism and start arming themselves and forming the women’s army to bring about real revolutionary change (and beat up a few rapists on the way…). \nIt’s an incredible insight into the Women’s Liberation Movement at a moment of intense artistic and political creativity\, while also providing fascinating footage of pre-gentrification New York. \nPlus an ace soundtrack. \n£2.50 donation (free for unwaged) \nOpen to all genders and none. \nwww.feministfightback.org.uk – feminist.fightback@gmail.com – @femfight\nwww.facebook.com/feministfightback – www.facebook.com/feministfightback

SUMMARY:Public Meeting on Feminism\, Childcare and Reproductive Labour
DESCRIPTION:If you require childcare for this meeting please email feminist.fightback@gmail.com. \nAs the Coalition government forces more and more mothers to return to work while their children are still very young\, a growing right wing lobby argues conversely that staying at home to look after the children should be valued and supported. \nThe feminist movement has long grappled with the problem of how to argue for women’s right to combine motherhood and a career\, without devaluing the crucial work of raising children. In the 1970s the Wages for Housework movement argued that the people who perform the reproductive labour of the home (cooking\, cleaning and caring for children) should receive a wage. \nOther feminists opposed this\, arguing that this would simply trap women in their role as housewives. In the context of today’s cuts\, how can we as feminists work together to imagine better ways to organise reproductive labour in our society? \nHow can we challenge the gendered imbalance of this work and improve the conditions under which it’s performed? \nwww.feministfightback.org.uk – feminist.fightback@gmail.com – @femfight\nwww.facebook.com/feministfightback – www.facebook.com/feministfightback

SUMMARY:Feminists Responses to Attacks on the Welfare State!
DESCRIPTION:Feminist Fightback has been thinking about the gendered effects of the benefit cuts\, holding ‘Women at the Cutting Edge’ in 2010\, authoring ‘Cuts are a feminist issue’ and being involved in the Save Hackney Nurseries Campaign. \nWe have long wrestled with the dilemma of how to defend services while refusing to be satisfied with the inadequacies of the existing welfare state. In an attempt to think beyond this\, we will be hold a discussion on the idea of a basic income and asking what might be the potential benefits of this as a feminist demand. \nA basic income is a guaranteed income for all. Unlike the current benefits systems that distinguishes between ‘deserving’ and ‘undeserving’ welfare recipients\, the basic income is unconditional and breaks the link between income and work. Rather than having to defend flawed institutions\, is it now time to make a brave and transformative demand such as this? \n \nThere is no need to read anything before the meeting\, but you might find the following texts of interest: \nKathi Weeks\, ‘Working Demands: From Wages for Housework to Basic Income’\, chapter 3 of her book The Problem with Work (2011). An argument for basic income which draws on Marxism\, feminism and antiwork politics. \nWildcat\, ‘Reforming the Welfare State for Saving Capitalism: The ‘Guaranteed Income’ and ew reformist illusions’\, Wildcat-Zirkular No. 48/49 (1999). An argument against basic income as demand written as part of a debate on basic income on the German left in the late 1990s.

SUMMARY:The S Word: A Conversation on Feminist Sex and Relationship Education
DESCRIPTION:We are a group from a diversity of backgrounds with an interest in the attitudes surrounding Sex and Relationships Education. We feel that a key reason why much SRE for young people is unsatisfactory is that as a society we have problems discussing\, and having\, sex and relationships in empowering ways. We therefore believe that in order to change attitudes\, to question and become more comfortable with our own relationships and sexuality\, and in short to build a society which is less squeamish about sex\, we need to start with ourselves. \nThese ideas have grown into planning a platform for educators – in the broadest sense – to meet. We are all potential learners and teachers of SRE throughout our lives. Whether you are a sex-educator\, campaigner\, parent\, carer\, teacher\, health worker\, or are simply interested in the subject\, you are welcome to join us. \nOn Sunday 17th February 2013\, we are holding a gathering in the Whitmore Community Centre\, near Old Street\, London. An informal opening session will lead to three sets of two parallel workshops. Topics will include ‘Communication and consent’; ‘Where do our sexual values come from/ is our sexuality our own?’; ‘body image and sexuality’; ‘The language of sex’; ‘Speed Debating’; ‘non-heteronormative sex’; and ‘A manifesto for my sexual values’. \nRegister to attend at http://feministsre.eventbrite.co.uk/ \nThere will be a creche and the venue is fully wheelchair accessible. Please specify any childcare or other needs you have when registering. \nSuggested donations of £5 waged or £3 low/ unwaged will be requested on the door to cover venue hire.
