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.
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.
