Femquake is intended as a show of feminist solidarity. The idea is that contentious issues of sexuality too often fracture the unity that women, men, and every other freedom-loving person needs to support in order to bring about gender justice. Treating sexuality as a divisive force, whether by claiming that immodest attire causes earthquakes or by ousting women who show self-empowered sexual agency from the “sisterhood” of feminism, is a condemnable thing to do.

Why should boobquake and brainquake be mutually exclusive? Brains and boobs are often found together in competent, sexy women (whether female-assigned at birth or not). Don’t coerce women into being proud of one of ...these things over the other, or into feeling ashamed of either!

So instead of segregating ourselves into pro- and anti-boob/brain camps, let our powers combine in the name of gender justice and equality for all!

Boobquake says: "Help fight supernatural thinking and the oppression of women, just by dressing immodestly!"

Brainquake says: "Let’s honor the accomplishments of Iranian women by showing off our abilities, our creativity, our ingenuity, and our smarts on our blogs, on Wikipedia, on Twitter, on Youtube, on Flickr and all over Facebook."

YES! Lets! But let's ALSO honor the accomplishments of women who do not dress modestly, such as Annie Sprinkle, "prostitute and porn star turned sex educator and artist," and the numerous other feminists who STAND UP FOR THE RIGHTS OF WOMEN TO BE SEXY ON THEIR OWN TERMS.

Participate in both Brainquake and Boobquake by participating in Femquake with the hashtag #Femquake on Twitter or tagging your blog posts, Flickr images, etc. with "Femquake."

On Femquake Day, honor a feminist who inspires compassion among different groups of people and who celebrates the value inherent in the diversity of human sexuality. In other words, HONOR FEMINISTS WHO ROCK YOUR WORLD!

Or, just smile at a stranger. It's good for them, for you, and for our planet. :)

Femquake is an idea, a celebration of unity and an attempt at “more speech” as a response to "offensive" speech. That idea, and that kind of “more speech” behavior, doesn’t need to be confined to today.

So, y’know, the Earthquakes may be hypothetical, but the aftershocks throughout the divisive feminist debates could be real! Femquake it up!
