In defense of the sanctimonious women's studies set || First feminist blog on the internet

Selfless Signal-Boosting (August)

This thread is for recommending someone else‘s writings/events/fundraisers etc: signal-boosting as a complement to our long-standing Shameless Self-Promotion Sundays. Use this thread for ICYMI links and anything else you think other readers might find interesting.

Especially welcome are links to those who are blogging on issues Feministe has not recently addressed (the links can be to older posts, just something you’ve found recently relevant).  Please save the self-promotion links for Sundays – use this thread to let Feministe readers know about the other blogs you love to read, and activist/celebration events you long to attend, especially from those on the margins of the mainstream social justice communities, who tend to not get as much exposure as they should.


Netiquette Guidelines:

  1. Effective signal boosting names the article author(s) and/or organising bodies.
  2. Include content notes/trigger warnings/NSFW alerts where needed as a courtesy to other readers.
  3. Keep this thread focussed on the linking – the idea is to make your comments on the other blogs being linked!  (seconding/thirding etc is fine, adding extra Content Notes for the benefit of other readers is a community service, linking further/related reading is always welcome, but keep it short and sweet)
  4. If you have Reasons to not leave a response on a recommended article, don’t just dump it on this thread  ~ analytical discussions about various links belong on the Open Thread or Spillover.

  1. Article about CeCe Mcdonald in the Rolling Stone. Talks about McDonald’s life but also about the the problems trans* folks (twoc in particular) face. Good read. Here’s the link.

  2. What Californication can teach us about rape culture

    This article examines Hank Moody’s interactions with women as a frame in a much larger discussion on things like Nice Guy Syndrome, male entitlement to women’s bodies, female desire, double-binds, and much much more. Seriously worth reading regardless of whether you are familiar with the show or the character – I’ve never even seen a single episode 😛
