Sunday Linkfest!

Happy Sunday, people! I have 7k left to write for NaNo, some of which isn't part of my novel but dammit, that's still a lot of non-school words, so I want to be proud of it. I will kick the rest of the 7k's ass today. Although I do hope to get some schoolwork done too. I slept at 6am last night working on fanfic, guys D: For this Buck Godot scene.

So, onto other more serious things. Some group posts:

They Call It Reverse Discrimination

I kinda missed the Privilege Denying Dude things, but here's Garland Grey taking down an anti-feminist! Here, too. And here's Colorlines.org on PDD.

A Proposal to Classify Happiness as a Psychiatric Disorder. Well, if they're gonna pathologize depression so fucking much...

While we're on medical things, bullying DOES leave psychological scars. Someone must already be studying this in terms of affect theory. This whole "sticks and stones" thing? Bullshit. It's sick that we have to have proof in terms of physical neuroscientific effects of bullying before we take bullying seriously, but you know, I have a sinking feeling it won't take for a long while yet.

Some resources on woman-woman rape.

A report on a Kuala Lumpur conference about blended families and how to support them.

Jennifer Kesler has to explain again why women don't just leave abusers. The best bit: Feminism has saved a lot of abusive men's lives. And anti-feminists think WOMEN are ungrateful!

Finally, Feminism 101! has a letter for students who keep bugging the site admins without going proper groundwork. If you teach undergrads, this might be a handy thing!

Speaking of 101s, here's a Trans 101 article.

Let's try to imagine what non-adversarial sex looks like. Thomas Macaulay Millar talks about it in the Yes Means Yes blog, but it's nice to see another take on the issue.

Black 'n' Bourgie: No Country for Smart Girls: Do We Dumb Ourselves Down for Men? Maybe this is the answer to the Nice Guy™'s perennial question "why do women like jerks?"

A chemist writes a letter to the President of the State University of New York, Albany, on the ill-advised elimination of French, Italian, Classics, Russian and Theater Arts departments. It is beautifully written and delightfully snarky, illustrating the marriage of science and humanities.

Restructure points out that the "Too Asian?" article wasn't the first racist one in MacLean's.

Preacher to a megachurch comes out of the closet.

Tawni O'Dell talks about gender discrimination in the publishing industry.

Apparently, too many fat women don't even know they're fat. Oh we know, all right.

Muslimah Media Watch has an article on a Dutch documentary “Delfts blauw meets hijab”.

Meloukhia on debt culture and universal design.

Scarily fascinating article on the ghost essay-writing industry. I think the essayist is a sucker for doing so much work for so little pay.

Put THIS on the map! Reteaching Gender and Sexuality, a great supplement to "It Gets Better" and "We Got Your Back" projects.

Eccentric Yoruba has another excellent post on Africa, this time on Queen Nandi.

Harry Potter discusses playing the muggle Daniel Radcliffe. I wish he hadn't gone off-camera at the end.

A food processor you power with your foot.

Sookie's a Darling, but She's no Buffy - a great analytical compare-and-contrast between Sookie Stackhouse and Buffy's story arcs.

Bay Area burlesque

And to finish, I has a post at Apex! Called, The Art of Losing a Continent.

Have a great week ahead!
