From Feministing:
My experience with a prostitute - a feminist perspective.
[EDIT: Discussion of privileged-cluelessness potentially forthcoming. /Edit]
AND
From Shakesville:
Rank (and File) Bigotry -- on rightwing hate-mongering and where it's gotten the GoP.
AND
From MissLynx (via Reyl, in the comments):
On Racism and the Canadian National Anthem.
AND
From The Angry Black Woman:
Race, Gender, and the Oppressive Public Gaze... -- on the recent (mis)treatment of middle-distance runner Caster Semenya by the media and the IAFF.
AND
Some philosophizing from Tiger Beatdown -- on Michael Moore, Revenge Movies, and the Nature of Good and Evil.
AND
This is Not About the PRETTY -- On obeisity, health-care-provider burn-out, horrible non-food and how our culture makes it cheap to come by, and what happens when bodies spend centuries (millenia) teaching themselves to hold onto callories and then, in the space of a hundred years (1850-1950?) everything has changed.
Heads Up: This will, almost certainly, make you angry. Or sad. Or both.
AND
From After Silence:
Thoughts from a Secondary Survivor -- About being the partner of someone who is going through trauma. There are days when I feel a bit like this.
AND
From The Viewspaper:
Living With the Devil -- On spousal rape and how "consent" works -- and doesn't work -- in Indian law.
AND
From Surviving Therapis Abuse:
"Don't Call It Consent" -- Being Groomed for Sex.
The last three links are part of Carnival Against Sexual Violence 78.
