<p>I am the new editor-in-chief of FEM, a UCLA-based feminist newsmagazine.</p>

<p>Founded in 1973, FEM has provided a feminist voice on campus for over thirty years. Each quarter FEM provides a critical resource for students. FEM advocates the empowerment of women, ethnic and religious minorities, lesbians, gays, bisexuals, economically underprivileged, transgender and intersex individuals. Additionally, FEM continues to be a crucial venue for eclectic artistic expression.</p>

<p>This year FEM is dramatically expanding its readership to serve UCLA as well as students at Occidental College, Stanford University, UC Riverside, Claremont McKenna College, Harvey Mudd, Pitzer College, Pomona College, and Scripps College this coming fall.</p>

<p>I am posting this here so that 1) if you go to any of those schools you can be on the look out for FEM 2) encourage all of you to visit FEM’s new website <a href=“http://www.femmagazine.com%5B/url%5D”>www.femmagazine.com</a> (it will reroute you to the school’s server, do not be alarmed).</p>

<p>I encourage you to check out (and even participate in ^^;:wink: Ask FEM!, photo blog (send me your fun feminist photos), links (feel free to submit any with a brief description of what the website offers).</p>

<p>Also, if you would like to submit any articles or news updates, please to do so. Although articles in the print version of FEM are done by our staff, the website runs largely on news updates and submissions.</p>

<p>Thank you for taking the time to read this, please visit <a href=“http://www.femmagazine.com”>www.femmagazine.com</a>! ;)</p>

<p>Hi momof3teens,</p>

<p>Of course we do! FEM seeks to empower all women, those listed above are just to give a broad spectrum of the issues we are sensitive to. And, I’m a middle class straight white feminist (check out Meet FEM! on <a href=“http://www.femmagazine.com%5B/url%5D”>www.femmagazine.com</a> and you’ll see the general diversity of the staff), so I bet there’s something there for you too. ;)</p>

<p>I do believe you would fall under the first catagory as listed here:</p>

<p>“FEM advocates the empowerment of women, ethnic and religious minorities, lesbians, gays, bisexuals, economically underprivileged, transgender and intersex individuals.”</p>

<p>I don’t see anything there saying that you have to fulfill every one of those criteria…</p>

<p>Also, if one does not belong to those groups, that person can still support the empowerment of historically opressed groups. For example, we have male readers and other readers not belonging to historically opressed groups.</p>
