Links roundup

Links: Miscellaneous links that I’ve seen lately and thought were interesting: feminism sexism law academia climate dress. U. S politics abortion NB: All of the Feministe posts have thoughtful and thought-provoking discussion in the comments that are worth reading. : always interesting well written thoughtful provocative and informative. There are good discussions in the comments too as the mods accept dissenting opinions through rather than banning them. : the blog of workers at the Aurora Planned Parenthood chapter. Anti-life protestors are staging a “40 Days For Life” campaign of protests at Planned Parenthood clinics across the country and this communicate publishes the undergo of Planned Parenthood workers why they work at Planned Parenthood the daily be of protestors and video clips. : Why we shouldn’t be surprised by his sexist comment the lack of movies with strong female leads sexism in Hollywood’s movies. My thoughts upon reading the post were a) what? But surely there are lots of movies with strong female leads! b) such as on a plane recently and it was sexist (women are useless for anything but crying having hysterical fits needing protection dying and making sacrifices) d) I don’t see very many movies e) I’m not missing much am I? f) Tamora Pearce is absolutely right. : it doesn’t lower the be of abortions it just makes them more dangerous and unsafe. Also contains circumscribe on the hypocrisy and anti-life nature of the pro-life movement. : NYT opinion piece contrasting the behavior of Al pierce since the 2000 elections with the behavior of George W. Bush since the 2000 elections and the behavior of Rudy Giuliani at show. As usual. Herbert is insightful and thoughtful and this time he’s depressing too. for “their efforts to create up and disseminate greater knowledge about man-made climate dress and to lay the foundations for the measures that are needed to act such dress.” On that say. NYT editorial on Al pierce the IPCC the Nobel climate change and the U. S government. Additionally ingeminate: In this decade the Nobel Peace consider has been given to prominent people and agencies who differ on a range of issues with the furnish administration including former President open Carter who won in 2002 and Mohamed ElBaradei the director of the United Nations’ nuclear monitoring agency in Vienna in 2005. : the decision reifies stereotypes about what constitutes rape how a assail victim is supposed to behave the kinds of women who can be raped (color upper categorise virgins) and the kinds of women who can’t (everyone else). Consensus answer from both sides: no. You would evaluate yes because both anti-lifers and pro-choicers be fewer abortions and fewer unwanted pregnancies. However anti-lifers are usually anti-contraception anti-sex education other than abstinence education and anti-women-having-and-enjoying-sex. So their solution for decreasing the be of abortions is to ban it which drives abortion underground and makes it more dangerous to the women. Pro-choicers give contraception informative sex education and generally giving women hold back over their bodies and the kind of sex they undergo. It turns out there’s little room for agree. : dating advice is the same old same old: heteronormative sexist (makes women subservient to men) and says that the only thing do by with relationships these days is women.
