		<description><![CDATA[In Kotaku&#8217;s grand tradition of shoddy reporting and lack of any decent research, Brian Ashcraft has written an impassioned but so supremely hypocritical article on the RapeLay controversy (link roundup) that I felt compelled to briefly bring this blog temporary out of retirement in order to take it down. Since this topic is triggering, the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[First off, it has been noted that the de-ranking wasn&#8217;t limited to GLBT issues and erotica, but also notably affected books on disability and sexuality as well as feminist books, books on sexuality, and books on topics such as suicide prevention and rape.
In terms of the massive PR fail that has been going on, Amazon [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, I&#8217;m sure everyone has heard by now, but Amazon has recently made the decision to remove the sales rankings of so-called &#8220;adult&#8221; books in order to ensure that they don&#8217;t show up in some searches (like the default search) and bestseller lists.
Their rationale? The censoring books primarily written by and for queer people (and, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Although I had never heard of Graham Linehan before, he&#8217;s apparently a writer for some fairly popular UK comedies, including one called The IT Crowd.
Now, apparently there was a recent episode of that show that included a sub-plot involving a transwoman named April. The plot was basically that Douglas, the Asshole of the show, goes [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My dad loves, and I mean loves, to talk about how the pill is what enabled women to become equal. He talks about it as if it&#8217;s the end-all-be-all of contraceptive and that something like women having a pill that they can take to prevent pregnancy was the deciding moment in the struggle for equality.

		<description><![CDATA[So, Feministing is soliciting submissions for a new book called Yes Means Yes! (hat tip: feminist_writer LJ community). The book aims to brainstorm constructive ways that a more positive attitude towards sexuality, especially female sexuality, can help dismantle rape culture:
Imagine a world where women enjoy sex on their own terms and aren&#8217;t shamed for it. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A feminist artist named Amber Hawk Swanson has been profiled in a Chicago Reader article called When Amber Met Amber. Given the recent discussions here about author intent versus conveyed message, I&#8217;m not entirely sure how I feel about the work that was profiled. 
What follows is less a critique, because I can&#8217;t properly critique [...]]]></description>

Is the vocabulary to properly talk about our own bodies too sophisticated a topic for children to be introduced to as early as kindergarten? Bill O&#8217;Reilly seems to think so, at least in regard to the word &#8220;uterus&#8221;, which apparently the mere knowledge that a woman has one is enough to &#8220;blast&#8221; a child out [...]]]></description>
