And don't forget, Shameless's own Wesley was also nominated for a Support Bro award for "Best Post by a male in support of feminists/feminism".
Which is kind of problematic as it assumes that men can't be feminists, but only support feminists - something that I think is worth arguing, rather than taking for granted. But hey, Wesley still rules!

ANNA! Thanks for the note -- sorry I missed Wesley's category earlier. I've updated the main post, above.
Wesley got two nominations, first for his post about Hollywood's preoccupation with keeping the baby (http://shamelessmag.com/blog/2007/11/...)
and second for his posts on fictional women presidents in TV and film

Congrats, Wesley!

Hey Shameless gang! Just a quick reminder, final F-word Award voting starts today (Feb 22) and ends tomorrow (Feb 23), winners announced Feb 24 at 4 pm Pacific time. One vote only - not one vote per day.
Good luck! I'm really glad to have learned about Shameless mag through the awards - you have no idea what a relief it is to see that feminism is NOT DEAD with younger people! Keep up the great work.
