Lauren points out that Mandy and Brittany, the women at the center of the spat in bloglandia mentioned by BFP, are the same women who were highly critical of Jessica Valenti’s Full Frontal Feminism. I remember posting about how their criticism was clearly using women of color in order to hash out […]
