Museum of Heroic Women~MUSEE DES HEROINES

I'm very excited to announce a great new attraction in Second Life. Step by step, the virtual world gets more female-friendly content, in the struggle against the often sexist and patriarchal culture of SL.

The Museum of Heroic Women (MUSEE DES HEROINES) created by my friend Wanda  (wittsofwanda zapatero) explores famous Women of history and the courageous Women of today.

The museum is located in a beautiful setting and is fun to explore. There are frequent events, and new exhibits installed to keep things fresh.

From Wanda:
The Museum of Heroic Woman was founded in 2010, by Wanda (wittsofwanda zapatero).

The Museum of Heroic Women is a museum dedicated to showing the heroic deeds and strengths of women throughout time; from the ancient of days, to present.


About Wanda:

As a combatant in SecondLife, Wanda had noticed how many women felt less skilled as a fighter compared to men, no matter how skilled they were.

Wanda wanted to do something to lift the confidence of women and empower them. She decided to open this Museum and show the skilled leadership, strength, and power of women.

This museum does not represent the political views of any of the women it presents. All women have been chosen for a their heroic deeds.

Women Dominate Social Media

Read 'It’s a woman’s (social media) world' from Pew Research, about the increasing use of social media by Women. It's a simple yet thought-provoking article. Maeve Duggan illustrates the various media and how the gender split breaks down. (men still love Twitter, it seems!)

Meditation on the Matriarchy: The Future is Female

Future Femdom is a wonderful place to relax and meditate. If a man does sneak up on you, who cares? Men are fun, but have long lost the ability to impact your life. Let them grovel, worship, do whatever they do. They learn more, day by day, that cannot influence Us. Instead, live your own life and love it.

Whether you are religious or spiritual or both, or someplace inbetween, meditation is a valuable 'time-out' that makes your days and nights more perfect. I find communing with the universe very helpful, breathing in nature, celebrating the world. The more we do this, as Sisters, the more we can learn to grow together as Sisters, compassionately leading the earth as we do.

For myself, it's all about responsibility. We become more responsible as we connect with others, and with creation itself. To liberate your Inner Goddess, find how She is part of the infinite universe. You may discover more love and passion than ever before.

As We rise to take on the Future, and become one with it, We will need the spiritual energy to go forward. Honoring and loving your history can keep you grounded, of course, but respecting and seizing with joy, the Future, can give you the courage and compassion to lead. With wide open eyes and heart, We can be strong and loving and work best together for a new world. - Gina

Have Women’s Colleges Outlived Their Purpose?

Wonderful piece that explores the role of Womens Colleges today, including the amusing Wellesley 'Sleepwalker' incident.

Do we still need single-sex college? Do single-sex colleges still provide value or have advantages? Or have single-sex colleges become too insular?
