4th Nov 2012

Presenter: Artist Management Group

Event Duration: 120 minutes

Did you say you’d love to hear comedian, author and BMX champion Nelly Thomas, writer, feminist and troublemaker Clementine Ford and ‘potty mouthed’ ‘acid tongued’ supreme being of The Atheist Kibbutz Catherine Deveny talk all things feminist on a Sunday arvo in November?

You did?

SHAZAM!

Come along to Catherine Deveny’s Sunday Soiree and sit back and relax as Nelly, Clem and Dev thrash out where feminism is at, where it’s going and why it matters.  There will be music, door prizes and a Q and A. As usual. Laughs, secrets and punch-ups guaranteed.

Things they’ll be swearing about and taking the piss out of
•    Do feminists all hate each other?  And are they all frigid?
•    The ‘You don’t know anything until you’re a mother’ nonsense.
•    Raunch culture: do clothes make a little girly sexy or do we?
•    Porn: is it all bad for all people all the time? Or all good?
•    Are women just whingers who can’t cope with the rough and tumble of public life?
•    Are we all equal now and is it time to shut up?
•    Do “Gen Y” not give a rats about feminism?
•    Is it true we shouldn't be critical of things that we perceive to be harmful to women such as vaginal surgery, breast implants and Jackie O because women 'chose' them and therefore they are feminist?
•    Feminist fatigue: discuss.

A dreamy Sunday arvo with three women who see conversation as a cross between an extreme sport and street fighting. See you there.
