		<description><![CDATA[I seem to have been talking sex a lot recently, with soul-sisters, my women&#8217;s group and my partner. It strikes me that though we may not want to DO it as much, us married women with kiddies sure love to talk about it! It matters to us. It excites and intrigues us and makes us [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Rape has been in the news, in the air a lot these past months. Events that previously would have been over-looked and ignored by the mainstream media, are now receiving the full coverage, and righteous anger they deserve. The following post was written by a mother following a particularly shocking case in the US, where [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As little girls we are told to keep our legs together. For a woman, &#8220;she spreads her legs for anyone&#8221; is an insult of the highest order. The power of the wide open vulva is deeply threatening to the very fabric of civilisation. My four-year-old daughter loves to show us her vulva. Spreading it wide. [...]]]></description>

A father has been accused of, pleaded guilty to and convicted of raping his daughter for 10 years, here in Ireland. From when she was 8-18. Once a week. Stop. Feel that in your bones.

		<description><![CDATA[Last weekend we went to the swimming pool, the whole family. It brought home to me how alive the gender divide still is when it comes to our bodies. My husband just put his trunks in the bag and went, where as I spent half an hour de-fuzzing my armpits and legs from their winter [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My mother’s shame is what I wear as a veil. It is my modesty. Handed down, from mother to daughter, generation upon generation, laundered and press within an inch of its silken life. It is my birthright, my dowry. I peer through its gauze and think gauze should be kept for hospital settings, to mop [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The other day I saw a woman across the room. And my first thought was &#8211; she looks like she&#8217;d be a great friend, she&#8217;s just my sort of woman. Beautiful patterned artsy clothes, an open face, radiating her own unique beauty, she looks happy in her own skin. Then my brain caught up. That [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was recently reading Naomi Wolf&#8217;s Vagina: a new biography and she shares research in it which proves that sexual abuse is not &#8220;just&#8221; done to the body. It is the ultimate way to destroy a woman&#8217;s sense of self and sacredness. Because of the connection between yoni, spinal nerves and brain, an attack on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am writing today in a somber mood. A woman has just died in Ireland (where I live) because the law of the land does not allow for abortion under any circumstance. Presenting at hospital with a miscarriage, the doctors would not act to remove the fetus until its heartbeat had stopped, three days later. [...]]]></description>
