Links for the Week — Edition Includes a Link to “The Revolution Starts at Home”

From Sex Geek (Andrea Zanin is awesome):
The Question of Gender in Play Space — on how gender and… gender-expectations(?) can effect a kinky play-space. Raises some good points and avoids the kind of over-simplification that one sometimes gets when asking about gender-specific events. Go, read. :-)
AND
Musings on Masculinity — on “masculinity” being defined by “what it’s not” and also being something that is, technically, unatainable. A little freaky, and also very telling. Check it out.

From Feministing:
Trans students’ rights are more than dress codes — on school administrators using “dress codes” as a way of enforcing cisgender assumptions and traditional/conservative norms of gender presentation. :-P

The Revolution Starts at Home — Available for free download, this phenomenal 111-page ‘zine (which is getting published in book-form but is still available online) talks about intimate partner abuse in activist communities and suggests different ways that we, as activist communities, can deal with the spectre and the reality of those abuses in our midst.

From Jezebel:
“Pro-Rape” Page on Facebook — The page has, thankfully, been removed. But it was up for months. Rape culture? What rape culture? >:-P

From The Washington Post:
Comprehensive Sex Ed for the Win. Well, duh. ;-)

Public Service Announcement / Call for Contributions:
Sarah Jenny is “[...]working on an interactive art installation for December 17th, The International Day To End Violence Against Sex Workers.
[Her] initial plan has been to gather the stories and photographs (high res) of Gary Ridgway’s (aka the Green River Killer) victims.
[She is] also interested collecting images and stories of other sex worker victims of violent crime for this project, [and is likewise] looking for footage from December 17th events, statistics, and red umbrella imagery and footage to work from.
Please send any materials to: sarahjenny@gmail.com as soon as possible. Please forward this call to relevant parties.”
