The latest Carnival of Feminists is up at Philobiblon:
Welcome to the Carnival of Feminists, which begins with an apology, for the hiatus since the last, which was due to my disappearing under a deluge of work, from which I’m slowly extracting myself.
So there’s more than a month of nominations here, and I decided the best thing to do was to collect them, to allow a new host a managable run.
And the next host will be Unmana’s words, on July 9. She kindly came asking if I needed hosts. You can use the nomination form to send links to her, or email her at unmana AT gmail DOT com.
Heads up folks! Just got this comment on my blog post at The Blog and the Bullet by Veronica (click on the comments link at the end of the blog post):
Wow, that commenter on your blog is right, Jack. What a galling piece of trash.
The comments are even worse. One commenter implies that trans women willingly go into prostitution to allow men to abuse and degrade female bodies.
Mandrea cheers her on.
They don’t imply, Lisa, they say it flat out, that trans women are men who get a sick enjoyment out of going into prostitution so they can abuse “synthetic female bodies” with degrading sex and train other men to treat “real women” badly.
Utterly, completely beyond the pale. I can actually feel the gorge rising in my throat.
That’s because I have a horrible understatement habit. I’ve been trying to break it.
The blogger at Philobiblon thankfully deactivated the link.
