we’re all usually too busy to see during Women’s Week or during the
summer.

VICKIE SHAW
Ever the expert on sex and relationships, Vickie doesn’t have to go
far from home for material. As a recovering SoB (Southern Baptist) and
out lesbian, she re-gal-es you with tales of her “husbian”, Sgt.
Patch! Vickie has performed her sidesplitting comedy in almost every
state in the Union, sailed on innumerable Olivia cruises, appeared on
LOGO TV, and is featured in the film Laughing Matters – just to name a
few of her many achievements.

THE WAU WAU SISTERS
They made Princes William and Harry squirm, played the Grammy red
carpet, and their fan base spans mustached Mexican Harley riders to
New York’s glittery art set and breathless lesbians in between, this
sweetly charming, utterly sexy, and hilarious performance duet has
been wowing audiences across the states and The Atlantic. The Wau Wau
Sisters have captured the attention of The New York Times, New York
magazine, The London Times, Jane & Jane, and GO, among many others;
they’ll capture yours, too.

Hi there–

Spread the word and forward widely… this talk was an amazing and
courageous one that really is applicable to all genders…

Consider viewing the below web page to view the video archive and
power point presentation from Ben Barres talk on “The Dearth of Women
in Science”.
http://www.memdir.org/video/ben-barres-dearth-of-women-in-science.html

This web page is an archive of a talk that took place on 3/17/08 at
Harvard University. Ben Barres` talk provides case by case
evidence that essentially proves that women are just as capable as men
in science. He talks about his own experience, having been female, and
now as a male scientist and how people automatically respect his
opinion more. Ben Barres is a female to male trangender Professor of
Neurobiology, who has an unparalleled standpoint on the issue of women
and science. His talk provides evidence against the popular opinion of
some important leaders in academia. It also provides a fascinating perspective on
being transgender.
