Link Farm & Open Thread #30
| July 8th, 2006Y’all know the drill - feel free to post whatever you like in this thread, including links to cool stuff I wasn’t smart enough to link to (posting links to your own stuff is encouraged, too).
Here’s what I’ve been reading:
The Patient-Consumer: The Patient-Consumer Parade - First Edition!
The Gimp Parade: Lots of Links
Lots of interesting links here (some of which I swiped for this post).
All Girl Army - a new groupblog for young, feminist women.
Not only is this blog’s content utterly cool, their logo, drawn by Hope Larson, is absolutely gorgeous cartooning.
Martha Nussbaum: Review of Manliness
One of the best feminist critiques of anything I’ve read this year.
AngryBlackBitch: Bullying
In addition to the main posts, I found many of the comments interesting, especially regarding the worth of apologies.
American Academy of Pediatrics: The Effects of Marriage, Civil Union, and Domestic Partnership Laws on the Health and Well-being of Children
Curtsy: Mombian.
Sunlit Water: Asymmetry In Female and Male Sexual Fantasies
Mauzy’s Musings: Appalling, Offensive, Disgusting Exploitation of Children With Down Syndrome
Here’s my theory: Sufficiently advanced insensitivity is indistinguishable from bigotry. Curtsy: The Gimp Parade.
Concurring Opinions: Are False Convictions More Likely In Death Penalty Cases?
Capital juries are likely to be less sympathetic to the defense because they are death-qualified (i.e., only people who are willing to impose death are permitted to be jurors in a capital case.) This eliminates a not insignificant portion of the population that is most attractive to the defense. [Curtsy: The Debate Link.]
Crooked Timber: Why Are Bombthrowers Like Hirshman and Flanagan Dominating The “Mommy Wars” Debate?
Diabetes Mine: The Horror of Depending On The Kindness Of Strangers
Curtsy: The Gimp Parade
Hugo Schwyzer:The Hard Wiring Of The Human Brain Is No Excuse
Prosphoros: Passing, Privilege, and Intelligibility
My feeling is that, no matter how hard I work, the best I can hope for is to be treated as a “man” who wants/expects to be treated like a “woman”, but that requires stepping into the trans narrative, something which I cannot do with good conscience
Balkinization: Anti-Intellectual Republicans in Florida Pass A Law Against Post-Modernism
The Debate Link: How U.S. Torture & Ignoring Human Rights Hurts Democracy Promotion
Solidly Average: Response to Tekanji’s Post on “Alas”
“Alas” guest-poster Rachel S. and I both contributed to the discussion in comments. See this post too, where occasional “Alas” comment-writer Crys T has some excellent comments.
Slant Truth: On The Need For People of Color To Have Their Own Spaces
The Nation: How Conservatives Scuttled Juan Cole’s Hiring By Yale
Every right-winger who has complained about the supposed bias against conservatives in University hiring, but who makes excuses for or ignores this case, is a partisan hack hypocrite and nothing more.
Punk Ass Blog: The Kitten Defense. (Awww, itsa wee sooooo cute!)
Big Queer Blog: Roundup of Articles About the Anti-Marriage-Equality Decisions in NY and Georgia
The Happy Feminist: Three Feminist Stories From One West African Country
Granny Gets A Vibrator: Round-Up Post Regarding Cultural Appropriation and “Reverse Racism”
New Mobility: South Park’s Timmy Is The Best Disabled Character on TV
According to a poll of British TV viewers, that is. Timmy also polled better among disabled than nondisabled viewers. Curtsy: Gimp Parade.
SuperBabyMama: “Sim Isle” is Racist and Sexist

I always check out your link farm and appreciate the informative and useful articles and essays you link to. I would like to interest you in an interesting phenomenon in news stories about the 14-year-old girl who was raped and murdered (along with her family) by US soldiers according to the military.

Okay, I tried to make the link to this article “When is a 14-year-old girl a woman? but whatever I did, it didn’t work. The link is pasted above and I’m sorry, you’ll have to cut and paste unless you can see this second attempt.

[...] Or, if you want to feel good about being a feminist and about thinking the whole thing is twaddle, read Martha Nussbaum’s fantastic review of Harvey Mansfield’s book Manliness, which kicked this whole thing off. (Thanks to Alas, a blog for the link.) [...]
