From The Sexist:
You’re Drunk. It’s Inside You. It Kind of Hurts. Is It Rape? -- On slut-shaming, "hook-up culture", and the normalization of date-rape. Eugh.
Related Link, from Pandagon:

From Tiger Beatdown:
Perfect Disguise: Isaac Brock, Samantha Shapiro, and the Ethics of Journalism In Rape Culture. That's... interesting. Not remotely surprising. But Interesting. Go check it out.

AND
Caster Runs for Me. You'll see.
AND

If you're in New York City at the time, you might want to check it out. :-)
AND, on the subject of trans experiences:
From Questioning Transphobia:
Transphobic Words and Deeds -- On cis privilege and transphobia, and what they are.
- TTFN,
- Amazon.
