Warning: SPOILERS for the first Hunger Games novel and movie The Hunger Game is one of the most popular young adult novel series rivaling Harry Potter and Twilight. As the first of its film adaptations was just released in March 2012, readers and audiences have been pleasantly surprised at this fresh, dynamic, young female protagonist. In the second of my two part series on The Hunger Games, I'll compare the book to the movie and talk about some of the shortcomings of the adaptation and a few things that the film actually did better than the book. Also check out Part One, where I discuss the character of Katniss within the first book: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8428XSejp0 To Donation to FemFreq please visit: http://www.feministfrequency.com/donate For more information, links and a full transcript visit http://www.FeministFrequency.com COMMENT POLICY: Moderated comments will remain open for 2-4 weeks, after that all comments will be closed on YouTube. ]]> http://blip.tv/file/6066783 Movies and Television the hunger games katniss everdeen katniss jennifer lawrence young adult gary ross suzanne collins Thu, 12 Apr 2012 20:54:55 +0000 the, hunger, games, katniss, everdeen, katniss, jennifer, lawrence, young, adult, gary, ross, suzanne, collins http://a.images.blip.tv/Feministfrequency-TheHungerGameMovieVsTheBook936.jpg the, hunger, games, katniss, everdeen, katniss, jennifer, lawrence, young, adult, gary, ross, suzanne, collins ]]> The Hunger Game Movie vs. the Book http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/ 63008666-83FD-11E1-9929-DCB4F437A0C2 http://blip.tv/feminist-frequency/the-hunger-games-katniss-part-1-the-novel-6080700 feministfrequency 377926 feministfrequency feminist-frequency Feminist Frequency http://blip.tv/feminist-frequency http://a.images.blip.tv/Feministfrequency-picture151.jpg 6080700 6063885 file TV-UN 0.0 2012-04-11T17:40:10Z English Entertainment (about),Women 0 0 0 8 Entertainment Entertainment 1 447 AYLzkiAC http://blip.tv/play/AYLzkiAC http://blip.tv/comments/?attached_to=post6080700&skin=rss Feministfrequency-TheHungerGamesKatnissPart1TheNovel594-360.jpg Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0

It’s been a few years since I’ve checked in with The Bechdel Test for Women in Movies so I thought it would be a good time to look in on Hollywood and see if there’s been any substantial improvement in women’s representations on the big screen. In this updated video, I go through the 2011 films nominated for Best Picture at the 84th annual Academy Awards and see how they measure up to the Bechdel Test. Keep watching because I also propose a small addendum to help clarify the spirit of the test, provide a solution on how Hollywood can fix the glaring problem that the Bechdel Test exposes, I’ll address the question, “Well, what about the reverse test?” and show an alternative test that has been adapted by critics to the identify the presence of people of colour in films. Sprinkled throughout this video I offer a few movie recommendations.

In part 1 of my two part LEGO and Gender series, I explored how LEGO went terribly wrong with LEGO Friends and provided a brief history of LEGO’s ridiculous and slightly hilarious attempts to market to girls since the late 70′s. In part 2, I delve into how LEGO shifted their products from their initial relatively, gender neutral building experience to a more male dominated and male identified one. The LEGO group intentionally did this in three ways: 1. Marketing exclusively to boys, 2. Producing male identified and centered themes and sets and 3. Focusing on stereotypical boys play scenarios with an emphasis on combat. The strong focus on boys has effectively kicked girls out of the LEGO club house. Keep watching until the end where I provide a few suggestions to LEGO on how to fix their gender segregation problem.

LEGO announced that after 4 years of intensive research, they have finally come up with a LEGO product that fulfills the desires of “how girls naturally build and play.” This new theme is called LEGO Friends and it’s a pink and purple, gender segregated, suburban wasteland populated by Barbie/Bratz style dolls. Many parents, educators, feminists, and media critics have spoken out against LEGOs attempts to separate girls into their own stereotypical isolated enclave within the LEGO universe. In part 1 of my two part LEGO and Gender series, I’ll explore how LEGO went terribly wrong with LEGO Friends and provide a brief history of LEGO’s ridiculous and slightly hilarious attempts to market to girls since the late 70′s. In part 2 I’ll delve into LEGO’s intentional strategy to market almost exclusively to boys since the mid 80′s by developing and marketing sets that are male identified and male centered. In conclusion, I’ll offer LEGO a couple of suggestions that they can consider when creating and marketing new products.

Here is my Top 10 List of favourite non violent video games for the iPhone. I compiled this list because, while there is a huge variety of different types of video games, the testosterone driven, shoot em up style tends to dominate discussions about "serious gaming" and can feel exclusionary and alienating to a lot of other people who may be interested in exploring alternative forms of gaming. Plus these games are loads of fun to play!

The Smurfette Principle was named two decades ago by Katha Pollitt, when she noticed that there were a disproportionate amount of male characters in programming aimed at young people. ; Even in adult programming, when women do appear in the primary cast of a television show or movie, they are usually alone in a group of men. Sadly, this trope has made its way into the 21st century.

Tropes vs. Women explores the reoccurring themes and representations of women in Hollywood films and TV shows. The Manic Pixie Dream Girl is a cute, bubbly, young (usually white) woman who has recently entered the life of our brooding hero to teach him how to loosen up and enjoy life. ; While that might sound all well and good for the man, this trope leaves women as simply there to support the star on his journey of self discovery with no real life of her own.

Created for Bitch Magazine's Mad World Virtual Symposium: http://bitchmagazine.org/blogs/mad-world Flattr This! http://flattr.com/thing/100545/Toy-Ads-and-Learning-Gender I recently watched afternoon cartoons on Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network and I was shocked to find a flood of highly gendered toy commercials. These ads not only market toys to children but it also promotes and encourages gender specific values that are very limiting to boys and girls in different ways. The values and skills promoted in these commercials can play a critical role in the socalization of youth and their development of emotional expression, conflict resolution, the confidence to pursue various careers and the ability to maintain healthy relationships as adults. Reel Grrls is an amazing after school program that teaches girls and young women video making skills in a safe and encouraging environment.

Flattr This! http://flattr.com/thing/101619/Glee-GQ-and-the-Sexualization-of-Young-Girls http://www.FeministFrequency.com The recently released November issue of GQ has some highly sexualized photos of select members of the Glee cast. I weigh in on the impact that a photo shoot that takes actors who play high school students on a widely popular television show has on the sexual and gender identities of young people and their sexual lives. This is just one example of MANY images that infantalize adult women and fetishize young girls. Instead of sexualizing young people (and the imitation of young girls by adult women) for the (very disturbing) pleasure of adult men, we, as a society should be supporting and cultivating healthy sexual development and exploration in youth.

The Bechdel Test is a simple way to gauge the active presence of female characters in Hollywood films and just how well rounded and complete those roles are. It was created by Allison Bechdel in her comic strip Dykes to Watch Out For in 1985. It is astonishing the number of popular movies that can't pass this simple test. It demonstrates how little women's complex and interesting lives are underrepresented or non existent in the film industry. We have jobs, creative projects, friendships and struggles among many other things that are actually interesting in our lives... so Hollywood, start writing about it!

From the first time I heard about the concept behind HBO’s True Blood I was a little bit horrified. Vampires are “coming out of the coffin” and want equal rights? Since television producers (and especially HBO) want to make shows that are as sensational and scandalous as possible, I had my doubts about whether they could provide commentary about social justice struggles in America without being painfully offensive, ignorant and stereotypical. I am unhappy to report that, no, they completely failed.Visit http://www.feministfrequency.com for links to other great blogs and articles that discuss True Blood ]]> http://blip.tv/file/2878136 Videoblogging true blood vampires hbo feminism feminist gender race alan ball anna paquin sookie stackhouse bill compton stephen moyer sam trammell ryan kwanten rutina wesley nelsan ellis Sat, 21 Nov 2009 12:11:05 +0000 true blood, vampires, hbo, feminism, feminist, gender, race, alan ball, anna paquin, sookie stackhouse, bill compton, stephen moyer, sam trammell, ryan kwanten, rutina wesley, nelsan ellis http://a.images.blip.tv/Feministfrequency-BeyondTrueBloodsSensationalism199.png true blood, vampires, hbo, feminism, feminist, gender, race, alan ball, anna paquin, sookie stackhouse, bill compton, stephen moyer, sam trammell, ryan kwanten, rutina wesley, nelsan ellis ]]> Beyond True Blood's Sensationalism http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/ A8BA67CC-7194-11DE-83ED-C0E82549B42E http://blip.tv/feminist-frequency/why-we-need-you-veronica-mars-2383514 feministfrequency 377926 feministfrequency feminist-frequency Feminist Frequency http://blip.tv/feminist-frequency http://a.images.blip.tv/Feministfrequency-picture151.jpg 2383514 2363445 file TV-UN 0.0 2009-07-15T23:10:16Z English Entertainment (about),Women 0 0 0 8 Entertainment Entertainment 1 403 AYGRvX4C http://blip.tv/play/AYGRvX4C http://blip.tv/comments/?attached_to=post2383514&skin=rss Feministfrequency-WhyWeNeedYouVeronicaMars184.jpg http://a.images.blip.tv/Feministfrequency-WhyWeNeedYouVeronicaMars184-242.jpg Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0
Veronica Mars has got to be one of my favourite shows of all time. No seriously, it's funny, witty, smart, progressive. Women are technologically savvy, the privilege of white rich kids are exposed (well sort of...), and it generally has progressive commentary. Watch this video for the things I loved about the show and also the more problematic elements... and keep watching because I included some hilarious and entertaining clips from the show.ps. Steer clear of season three, my love for the show ended during the last episode of season 2.See my blog for links to other great blogs that talk about Veronica Mars. ]]> YahooPartnerVideoID Blip post id 2383514 http://blip.tv/file/2363445 Videoblogging veronica mars gender television racism classism violence pop culture Wed, 15 Jul 2009 23:10:16 +0000 veronica mars, gender, television, racism, classism, violence, pop culture http://a.images.blip.tv/Feministfrequency-WhyWeNeedYouVeronicaMars184.jpg veronica mars, gender, television, racism, classism, violence, pop culture ]]> Why we need you Veronica Mars http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/ 7EBA4850-4572-11DE-9236-920B8FB835B1 http://blip.tv/feminist-frequency/dollhouse-renewed-why-not-terminator-sarah-connor-chronicles-2148967 feministfrequency 377926 feministfrequency feminist-frequency Feminist Frequency http://blip.tv/feminist-frequency http://a.images.blip.tv/Feministfrequency-picture151.jpg 2148967 2138327 file TV-UN 0.0 2009-05-20T19:14:52Z English Entertainment (about),Women 0 0 0 8 Entertainment Entertainment 1 287 AYGDlUsC http://blip.tv/play/AYGDlUsC http://blip.tv/comments/?attached_to=post2148967&skin=rss Feministfrequency-DollhouseRenewedWhy861.png http://a.images.blip.tv/Feministfrequency-DollhouseRenewedWhy861-175.jpg Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0
