Womanist Affairs

The Women’s Room

This corner will be held open for discussion on topics that readers have requested to be addressed from their readings. This will be a place where women can send in their topics for discussion and the website will attempt to address the issues raised within the correspondence as it is received.

If you are taking issue with research discussed on this website or need more clarification other than what was presented in the articles, please write to me and I will find time to respond in the Women’s Room. damaur@womanistaffairs.com This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

On the other side of that coin, if there are topics you would like to discuss, please send them in for the Women’s Room. We will attempt to get to all suggestions sent to us.

We will also broach topics here that are hard issues to discuss.  If there is something that has been bothering you for awhile., like for instance, pushing drugs on TV to young women, for a disease they might not get.  What is worse, the drug isn’t guaranteed to help the vaginal cancer anyway.  But we have young women being encouraged to be guinea pigs for pharmaceutical companies.  One of the marketing ploys is to say that women’s health issues have traditionally been ignored–so they have–but here try this drug that may or may not work for you–just to be on the safe side.  Introducing a new drug to the system that may not work is highly suspect. Yet we have the companies pushing it as though their lives depended on it. One even makes a song of it–getting young girls to jump rope to the song to make it more attractive to the young women.  Perhaps their financial lives.
