Britain's love affair with our military is... →
George Chesterson for The Guardian.
If the presence of the military becomes normal, then war, for those at home anyway, becomes normal, especially as attitudes to non-conformity harden into a jackboot of public outrage.
It is the government’s responsibility to look after the soldiers it sends to war, but it is our responsibility to stop the government sending them out to die in the...

Why I Resigned from The Good Men Project. →
“There’s a conscious purpose to this sort of behavior. Joking about getting pelted (or putting on the football helmet) sends a message to women in the classroom – and online: “Tone it down. Take care of the men and their feelings. Don’t scare them off, because too much impassioned feminism is scary for guys.” And you know, as exasperating as it is, this kind of silencing language...

I Am So Not Sorry About My Vagina, And Other...
marxisforbros:
I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. I’m really, really sorry. I’m sorry I looked at you while you were watching TV. I’m sorry I lowered the window. I’m sorry it’s not organic. I’m sorry I got you so many Christmas presents. I’m sorry I cut my hair without asking you first. I’m sorry I applied to school. I’m sorry I wrote a book and didn’t ask for your input. I’m sorry I said yes to...

Officially a drop-out.
Or, in other words, I’m freeeeeee! I’ve spent the last week and a half at home and went back to Exeter today to drop out and move out. Everyone (and by that, I mean the administrative staff) was really nice about it and wished me luck and hoped I was alright; Jenny came to see me and say goodbye and tell me she thinks I’ve made a “really brave decision”; Emily gave me...

To all those men who don't think the rape jokes...
oforganon:
I get it—you’re a decent guy. I can even believe it. You’ve never raped anybody. You would NEVER rape anybody. You’re upset that all these feminists are trying to accuse you of doing something, or connect you to doing something, that, as far as you’re concerned, you’ve never done and would never condone. And they’ve told you about triggers, and PTSD, and how one in six women is a...
