This is a Community of Vaginas. But its more than that. This community is open to all women, despite their physical sex organs (being a woman has nothing to do with anatomy). This is a community for the supporters of women and all of those who respect human rights.
This space is for individuals who recognize that feminism is not about reinstating matriarchy, but rather reclaiming our basic rights as human beings, regardless of our sex or gender.
This is not our blog. This is a blog for every individual who is not afraid of the word "vagina". This is for every person who will not censor themselves, or their anatomy, despite the government's feeble attempts.
"It is plain that if the right belongs to any, it belongs to all." - Frederick Douglass

About-Face has contributed to the Keep It Real Challenge!
Somebody needs to go on a diet and it’s not us. It’s the media. Their current regimen? High in digitally deceptive additives (ahem, photoshop), low in nutrient rich reality and diversity. The cure?
We want real. Not retouched. That is why About-Face is honored to join the frontline of the three-day social media Keep It Real Challenge alongside powerful forces like SPARK Summit and Miss Representation.org. The collaborative initiative runs June 27th – 29th and targets mainstream magazines, asking them to publish one unaltered image per issue. Whether it’s trimming tummies, lightening skin, or removing kneecaps, these images are harmful.
Here are my favorite ways to “Keep It Real” amid a world of pixelated perfection.

Or NOT use it.
Stop buying magazines that sell us one narrow-minded beauty ideal.
