Spacefem.com is a small community owned & run by some regular people. Not a company. We are not out to recruit you for data mining purposes, there is no venture capital exit strategy, no one is asking about profit margins or even making this a full time job. There are no ads. Posts here are not a commodity to be sold. We are just a fun group of people who like chatting about creativity, nerdy things, feminism, and sometimes pants. This site started over a decade ago and hasn't even changed colors. It is a safe, inclusive place to share opinions, rant, celebrate, cuss or just take stupid quizzes. We were around before every corporate social media site had to "connect" you and we'll be around when they're all gone.

Mon Jun 17 3:00 PM Engineering is one of the coolest jobs in the world, but there are so many disciplines it can be a little daunting to choose one for yourself! I wasn't happy with the existing quizzes, they were mostly way too direct (do you like bridges or wires? uh...) or way too career-spammy, and they were all way too serious. So with that in mind I took some personality traits and kinda did my best attempt at mapping them to engineering fields. It's not scientific or accurate because it really doesn't matter, engineers do so many things and move around so much there's no way to predict what path you'll end up on... so relax! This point of this test is to combine the fun of a personality quiz with the usefulness of a career test... hey look at that, fun AND useful? It's getting engineer-y already!

Sun Jun 16 3:00 AMAt least in the past women were discouraged from depicting the nude and as a result of this and that there was many fewer professional female artists as compared to male artists, there are not many known examples of female artists depicting the nude. Many people may just assume that any nude image they see was done by a man, but that is not so. While being in the minority nudes were produced by female artists and many of them I feel are beautiful. Also it is my impression that female artists depict more diverse nude subjects. As the title indicates there will be images of nudes in this topic. My plan is to show both female and males nudes, most of which would be of the type that would be displayed in museums or normal art galleries and many if not most are displayed in museums. I do not want to shock people or cause distress. Some of the pictures I will post in the topic, but if I feel if an image is too explicit for some I will link to is and put a description of the image so people can chose to view it or not.

What I most like about singing is not the lyrics, but listening to the voice as a musical instrument. As a consequence I enjoy listening to songs in a language other than English, sometimes more than listening to an English version. I have already linked to a number of such songs and here are two more:

Fri Jun 14 3:00 AMFor more than half its life the US Constitution did not guarantee that a woman’s right to vote would be the same as a man’s with the result that most women before 1920 were denied this basic right. But this was only one of the very clear cases of discrimination against women. Another one was the concept of coverture. This is a situation that many people may not be fully aware of.
According to the Harvard Business School’s website dealing with Women and the Law, “. . . marriage and property laws, or ‘coverture,’ stipulated that a married woman did not have a separate legal existence from her husband. A married woman or feme covert was a dependent, like an underage child or a slave, and could not own property in her own name or control her own earnings, except under very specific circumstances.” See here: https://www.library.hbs.edu/hc/wes/collections/women_law/. Connected with the concept of coverture was the doctrine of necessities (see here: https://ap.gilderlehrman.org/essay/legal-status-women-1776%C3%A2%E2%82%AC%E2%80%9C1830). This meant that a husband had to maintain his wife in a “manner commensurate” with his status and this could be enforced by court action. What other category of people does this sound like? Children are finically dependant on their parents and parents are legally responsible to financially support their children. So what we have is that married women under coverture are treated similar to children. Now coverture was not unique to the United States. It came to the United State from English Common Law and as such it also was the law in England. This is what
