The F-Word This project is believed to be defunct. (May 2009) About So here's the concept: The F-WORD wants interesting, well-written stories about kneeing the privileged-patriarchal-powers-that-be in their collective groin. We want the stories no one else is telling, stories that show that oppression and injustice are still a very real part of many people's daily negotiations. Feminists will be depicted as fiercely smart and sassy beings (of all races, genders, and what have you) who somehow manage to terrorize the mainstream nation with words like "heterosexism" and "paradigm." Most of our writers are undergrad and grad students who are talking about their own personal experiences with feminist thought and/or writing pieces about what they're learning in their women's studies and sociology classes (and we also have teens writing for us as well.)
