"Humanity cannot be made equal by declarations on paper. Unless the material conditions for equality exist, it is worse than mockery to pronounce men equal."
Voltairine De Clayre, Anarchist feminist Writer
Let's get the ball rolling, yeah?
"You feminists just want to tell women to do what you want..." (@ Feminism 101) - An interesting thread about a typical anti-feminist tactic: the idea that women "choose" to be oppressed. Read on for great comments and links.
"Being a Feminist Boyfriend" (@ Feministe) - A great comment thread where many contributors chime in about their experiences about relationships and feminism.
"Uh-oh" (@ The Bilerico Project) - Allen presents some facts about the people selected to contribute their expertise in transsexuality/transgender to the new DSM-V. She explains why the appointment of certain individuals could be detrimental not only for trans* folk, but also to the queer community at large. (via)
"Men! Feminism needs you! (Not your privilege)" (@ The F Word) - A fantastic, insightful article by Anne Onne which addresses men who are new to feminism. Anne explains, in a succinct manner, why men may feel out-of-sorts in feminist spaces on the internet, and how men can challenge their privilege to positively contribute in these spaces.
"Why are women so critical of each other?" (@ The F Word) - Rosjke Hasseldine expounds on the issue of internalised mysoginy, and how this hurts solidarity between women. Hasseldine explores the reasons for the internalisation of mysoginy among women, and why this area needs to be explored and challenged within a feminist framework.
