“Fox Television’s Emmy-winning musical comedy, Glee, stepped into stigma for its...”
– I feel so bad for watching Glee. There are sooo many problems with the show, but I was a choir geek at one point and I really like parts of the show. What do you do when you like part of a program but find other parts offensive? (via thehumorlessfeminist)
You like it but accept that it’s loaded...

Sady Doyle: One Thing. →
sadydoyle:
I have had reasons to think about how survivors cope with sexual assault recently. About why they don’t report; about why they don’t speak out; about why they don’t call it rape, about why they (we) do anything psychologically possible, ANYTHING, any NUMBER of screwed-up things, to make themselves…
(Trigger Warning: descriptions of sexual assault and rape) This is powerful,...

My Yule
I don’t write about my personal life here all that often. But I have really good news and I want to share it, because it gives me hope, and maybe it will give someone else hope too.
At the end of November, I told my mom that I am trans. At the time, she seemed vaguely supportive and reassured me that she loved me. She didn’t seem to really understand, though, and the next time I...

Also, anyone reblogging or reading this may very well be interested in Border House, a gaming blog dedicated to Feminism. I’ve been following them for a couple weeks, and they’ve got some pretty good content.

The Feminist Hub: On Anger and Feminism →
thefeministhub:
There has been an ongoing discussion here about anger, and how ‘abrasive’ it is okay to be. I have been following it, but unable to reply to the questions (the rest of the contributors here apparently check their email faster than me). So, I’m going to take some time to respond to something anon…
This is a short post I write over at The Feminist Hub, in response to a...

Why Wikileaks is Labeled a “Terrorist... →
bradicalmang:
Wikileaks is a threat. We’ve heard it incessantly, from Democrats and Republicans, the State Department and Paypal. Some have gone so far as to call the open-publishing project a “terrorist organization.”
It’s true. Wikileaks is a threat. But it is not for any of the flimsy reasons we’ve been hearing.

periastron:
One of my good friends just ended her friendships with me, and a group of people that care a lot about her. Why? Because of the stupid things all of you extremists have put in her mind. Sure she can be liberal and want equality, but to the point that it affects your relationships? It’s ridiculous. All of you, sit down and think about how you would react in a true...
