Because I am a Woman

I am a graduate student studying in Worcester, MA. I am also a peer sex educator, reproductive justice activist, and feminist.

This blog is about sex-positivity, sex-ed, feminism, reproductive justice, birth justice, intersectionality, and activism.

Feel free to send me a message with your questions about sexual health, feminism, or anything else!

For more information about any of these things please check out the resources tab or leave me a question in my ask box! I would love to talk to you!

If you have anything you would like to bring to my attention or ask that you do not feel comfortable submitting to this page send me an email at: becauseiamawoman.tumblr@gmail.com

Many thanks to Susan of susanharkins.com for designing my logo!
Free Online Course: Contraception: Choices, Culture and Consequences

About the course: This course gives a broad overview of contraceptive methods and explores issues that influence contraceptive choices today. 
We will discuss the mechanism of action, effectiveness, risk/benefit, side effects and contraindications for each contraceptive method, as well as ask some questions about contraceptive decision making. What are some of the factors that influence contraception use and decision making?   Are there specific cultural, ethnic, social and environmental factors?  We will also look at the relationship between contraception use and risk of acquiring Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs). 
Thanks to Fuck Yeah Sex Education for introducing me to the awesomeness of Coursera! I thought some of you might be interested in this class on contraception. It doesn’t start until January but you can create an account and sign up now. You will get an email reminder closer to the course’s start date.
