Once again i am plugging my (ever-expanding) list of universities and colleges in North America (and beyond!) that offer gender-neutral housing.

Rape Culture Pro Tip

If someone is not strongly and widely chastised for using “I’ll rape a pregnant bitch and call it a threesome” in song lyrics, then our society has a giant fucking problem.

From my blog: tenderhooligan.wordpress.com/
I’ve put about 100 things aside recently to blog about and none of them are timely or current any longer. I’m not going to blog about the UK riots because I really have to make a commentary on them in a journal article I’m writing and I haven’t thought them all the way through yet. I’m also not going to blog about what’s going on in...

theskinofourteeth:
So I’ve spent a lot of time going back-and-forth about the concept of “enthusiastic consent.” On the one hand, duh, yes, this should be the goal, this can change everything. Oh the other hand…
There is always, always a line about consent needing to be verbal.
And in a world where at least 70% of women (and that’s the lowest estimate) with developmental disabilities...

jaundicedeye:
Beer is brown. Apparently, this is a problem for me. It turns out that, as a woman, I require my beverages in a less threatening hue – like pink, which is the colour of a new “crisp rose beer” launching this fall in Britain. Animée is aimed at women, and also comes in white (clear filtered) and yellow (zesty lemon), because those are the colours of spring flowers, and ladies like...

Because girls aren't strong?
bedbugsbiting:
In all of my childhood P.E. classes, modified push-ups were referred to as “girl” push-ups while regular push-ups were referred to as “boy” push-ups. I’m sure I’m not alone here because I went to several different schools, and I think that was the case at each one. That’s messed up. Do they still do that in schools?

I wanted my first-year film students to understand what happens to a story when actual human beings inhabit your characters, and the way they can inspire storytelling. And I wanted to teach them how to look at headshots and what you might be able to tell from a headshot. So for the past few years I’ve done a small experiment with them.
Some troubling shit always occurs.

downlo:
Great piece. Totally recommended:
…[C]alls for strong female characters start to run into trouble with trans women, nonwhite women, and women of colour in pop culture. Because women in all three of these categories are automatically expected to be strong. It is, in fact, part of their characterisation. Trans women are frequently framed as secret men (ah!) and thus can be expected to...
