The Carnival of Feminist Parenting is a two-monthly carnival, highlighting some of the very best writing about issues in feminist parenting, particularly feminist motherhood.
Submissions can be made using the carnival submission form or by sending a message on Twitter to @m4wl.
Submission guidelines:
- Feel free to submit your own posts or those of someone else.
- Posts do not have to be written by parents, simply related to parenting or children.
- If you think it’s relevant to feminist motherhood/parenting, then it probably is.
- Submissions don’t have to be UK-based, so send in your international posts and entries.
- Almost everything will be considered; we at MFWL are a diverse bunch, and our readership doubly so!

So my nine year old son walks past an Adultworld shop the other day and the door is open. He sees frilly, see-through bras and pants and dressing up lingerie and masks. He says, “That doesn’t look very grown-up to me. Why’s it called adultworld?” I laugh and kiss the top of his head for joy. Yes. I’m a rape survivor and I don’t like these shops and all the ridiculous role play they stand for. My subversive fantasy now is to have sticky labels of all sizes in my bag with the word “puerile” written on them. When I see “Adult Film” or “Adult magazine” or “Adultworld”, I will stick a “puerile” over the “adult”. Join in please and let it be a graffiti as widespread as “Kilroy was Here” and let’s remove any suggestion that pornography is in some way grown-up or adult when it so blattantly is not.
