I WAS ON TV TONIGHT


so a couple of hours after i get home from work i get a voicemail out of the blue from a reporter wanting to interview me about feminism for the ten o'clock news that night. he got my number from the feminist facebook group i started. there is a group called the dallas feminists, and the first meeting i went to was last month, and that was going to be their last if no one stepped in to lead so i decided to take it on. that's the only meeting i've been to. & then bam i'm the go-to person for feminist commentary? so strange!
this is about southwest airlines plastering a sports illustrated swimsuit model on the side of a plane.
disclaimer: i had 30 minutes to prepare & there was only one take & i'm terribly camera shy!

TRANSCRIPT & VIDEO
(i'm at 1:43)

You were great on the news. I love that last comment by the reporter about SW kicking off a woman for being to scantily clad. I live near Dallas. When does your feminist group meet? I am 42 years old and have never been active in the feminist movement, although I am proud to say that I have raised to young women who are actively feminist
