		<description><![CDATA[The news here recently reported on a new study suggesting that eating disorder rates in Australia have more than doubled in the last decade, and the rates of &#8220;regular disordered eating&#8221; (that doesn&#8217;t necessarily coincide with a diagnosable eating disorder) have nearly tripled.
One of the researchers indicates that the issue spreading to &#8216;groups not typically [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, the media here has been all over a recent report released by the Federal Treasury Department that supposedly counters years of claims that there is a childcare crisis in Australia, and claims that childcare is &#8216;accessible and affordable&#8217;. One of the key claims is that there&#8217;s oodles of childcare available to parents, &#8220;just not [...]]]></description>

Probably because I grew up in a family interested in debate and discussion and opinions only get you so far in those instances. In recent years, my mother in particular has embraced her Inner Skeptic and has encouraged me to do the same. 

And, really, I think it's high time for me to share the love of the Inner Skeptic with the world. Yes, that's right. I am sharing the love. Sharing it. With you. So you'd better read on to see how this love will be shared.]]></description>

Anyway, Georgia State University is doing a survey called Daughters of the Revolution: Females Born in the â€™70â€™s &#038; Early â€™80â€™s, Writing, and the Digital Revolution.

		<description><![CDATA[I originally wrote on this issue for the now defunct Shrub.com articles, but instead of simply reposting it like I did with the other articles I wrote, I thought it deserved a full out rewrite. Predictably, in my revising and expanding efforts, it grew longer than any sane post should be. So, please enjoy the first part of my open series on popular culture.

Popular culture is a pet topic of mine, especially when it comes to how it influences the way that we interact with the world. We are all immersed in it â€“ from advertising that becomes more invasive as the years go by to whatever hobbies we choose to get into. Yet, despite how widespread the phenomenon is, most people are convinced that these things have absolutely no impact on our lives. To the extent that the study of popular culture â€“ whether in a formalized academic setting, or just people examining their own hobbies â€“ is seen as <a href="http://community.livejournal.com/feminist_gamers/13107.html?thread=73267#t73267">â€œfrivolousâ€</a>. It is my belief that labels like those stem from a fundamental misunderstanding of popular culture and how it works. In this series, I would like to explore all the facets of pop-culture in an effort to promote better understanding of what it is and why it's valuable.]]></description>
