      <title>Men Are Like Pressure Cookers</title>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[ Here are the things I’ve added in the past week. Added to the list of things that scare me: • Backpacks: Who knows whether a pressure cooker might not be inside? • Pressure cookers: I always thought they were dangerous and got rid of mine long ago. But HOW dangerous they are I only learned this past week. • Boston Marathon: Even in the past I watched it at most on television. But since last Monday there are surely also other anxious persons who will avoid the Boston Marathon from now on. And all other marathons too. And for that &#8230; ]]></content:encoded>

      <title>Who’s in Poor Taste? Pussy Riot, Schorlemmer or the Luther Cities?</title>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[ On November 10 the 16 German “Luther Cities” will decide who should receive their annual award “Das unerschrockene Wort“ (The Bold, Fearless Word), or Luther Prize, to be presented in April 2013. Luther City Wittenberg has nominated the heroic Russian political activists Pussy Riot for the award. But more than a few are opposed to the nomination, and no one more than the prominent theologian Friedrich Schorlemmer, previously a pastor and pro-democracy activist in the GDR and now a publicist. Schorlemmer and those who share his views reject the nomination because they find Pussy Riot’s performances “in poor taste” and &#8230; ]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[ It’s the height of campaign season in the USA, and not only the presidency but the entire House of Representatives and one third of the Senate seats are up for grabs. One of the most closely watched races is the competition for one of the two Senate seats from Massachusetts. Ted Kennedy had held it for almost half a century before he died; then, thanks to massive financial support from business interests, the Republican Scott Brown won it in an upset election in 2010. Now the Democrats are aiming to reclaim “their” seat and have nominated a popular, respected and &#8230; ]]></content:encoded>

      <title>Slutwalk and &quot;Schlampenmarsch&quot;</title>

      <dc:subject></dc:subject>
      <content:encoded><![CDATA[ Slutwalks everywhere; here in Boston there was one back in May, and on August 13, with typical German thoroughness, they’re occurring all over the Federal Republic in Hamburg, Cologne, Hannover, Berlin, Leipzig, Frankfurt, Freiburg, Munich, Passau und in the Ruhr region. More information here. And in greater detail here for all the Slutwalks in Germany on August 13. I am thrilled that we women are once again “in movement,” that we’re getting out in the fresh air and making lots of vitamin D for the winter – all the more of it the less we have on! Terrific that we’re &#8230; ]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[ German insiders in the field of information technology call their computers “Rechner” (calculators, computers). “You have to shut down your “Rechner” and reboot” – that’s how the initiated talk. Although I’ve owned a computer since 1983 (by now I’m on my 10th at least), it’s only recently, since I’ve read Julie des Jardins’ book on the ”Hidden History of Women in Science,” that I realize that computer originally referred to a profession: A writer writes, a computer computes, a worker works. As I’ve learned from des Jardins’ book, professional calculating in the days before computers was by and large a &#8230; ]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[ The “Norwegian Massacre”: the media seem to have agreed on this term. Not a “rampage” such as occurred in Winnenden – the Norwegian killer proceeded with far too much premeditation and lengthy planning for that; through his diversionary tactic of the bomb near the seat of government he focused the attention of the entire police force on the center of Oslo – so that he could then, completely undisturbed for 90 minutes, gun down 68 young people on the holiday island. I’m not aware of any massacre in which men were not the perpetrators (a virtually endless list of them &#8230; ]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[ Preliminary Note: Six hours after I had put this text online Sarah Horsley called my attention to a 2-hour video broadcast about Egypt on the “Democracy Now” web site. Approximately 90 minutes into the broadcast we are shown an extraordinary video made by the young Egyptian woman Asmaa Mahfouz and first circulated on Facebook on January 18. She calls on all Egyptian women and men to congregate in Tahrir Square on January 25 and demonstrate for their rights. Amy Goodman of “Democracy Now” comments that this video, which spread virally through all the media, is generally regarded as the catalyst &#8230; ]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[ Last night we went to the movies with two girlfriends and saw “The Kids Are All Right.” The film is all the rage right now in the U.S. and is the subject of lively discussion; after all, director Lisa Cholodenko has tackled the previously taboo subject of “lesbian mothers with children from the sperm bank” for the first time. In the media you hear nothing but praise, and the opening take is impressive: with 1.8 million dollars the film ranks in 12th place. It garnered the Teddy Award in February at the Berlin Film Festival and is said to have &#8230; ]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[ At our Christmas get-together I asked my brother and my sister-in-law: “So, what do you know about Obama’s mother?” – “His father was Black and came from Kenya, and she was white and died of cancer,” was their answer, more or less. “Why do you ask?” “Obama’s mother, Stanley Ann Dunham Soetoro, was an anthropologist and wrote an 800-page long dissertation. Moreover, she was one of the earliest campaigners for micro-credits for women.” They hadn’t heard any of this before I told them, only again and again the sad story of her fight against American medical insurance providers before her &#8230; ]]></content:encoded>
