html will set us free

Who needs a head when you have html?

First reaction on seeing Jessica Valenti's feministing post on her new t-shirt was 'Want! Need!' Posting this image out of context here seems a little stranger though, echoing the whole 'skinny headless nekkid white woman' debacle that was Valenti's Full Frontal Feminism book cover all that time ago. Let's just knock this one on the head and assume that the missing brain-cage here, does in fact belong to Jessica's body. Or that of a highly-paid t-shirt model.

If only we didn't need more than html to end Teh Patriarchy. I have a feeling we might need xml too, or - fuck it - flash. Crap, we might even have to go all the way back to FORTRAN.

Feminism is hard work, dude.
