John McGowan, guest-posting at Michael Berube’s blog, is critiquing Martha Nussbaum’s critique of Judith Butler (part one<\/a> and part two<\/a>). I think readers who want to know a bit of what Judith Butler’s work is about, but have found Butler’s ultra-opaque prose unapproachable, might find McGowan’s discussion very helpful.<\/p>\n

Amy of the 50 Minute Hour<\/a> has an excellent post regarding the recent “doctor badgering fat women patients” controversy, and more broadly criticizing the entire weight-loss approach to health taken by too many doctors.<\/p>\n

Dawn of The Dawn Patrol thinks that pro-choicers are uncaring meanies<\/a>. I’ve been debating about various things with her and the other folks there in the comments<\/a>. Amanda <\/a>and Lauren <\/a>have been posting there, too. Dawn enforces civility and on-topicness pretty strictly, so if you’re tempted to post there, be warned.<\/p>\n

Dawn also has posted a list of guidelines for civil debate<\/a>, written by a couple of high-school debaters, which I want to preserve the link to for future reference.<\/p>\n

Kim Gandy (president of NOW) expresses horror at what’s happening to women’s rights in Iraq<\/a>. Some stupid anti-feminist troll leaves a comment saying that she looks like Tom Hanks; I never noticed before, but (at least in this photo) (and without meaning it in the negative or insulting way the troll meant it) she actually kind of does.<\/p>\n

Just to show that right-wingers aren’t always wrong, I should point out that this writer at World Net Daily<\/a> is also outraged at the betrayal of Iraqi women.<\/p>\n

Pro-lifers in Kansas are suing to prevent the government from paying for abortions in any circumstances at all – even when an abortion is necessary to save the mother’s life. Lovely. Lauren at Feministe<\/a> has the story.<\/p>\n

Res Ispa has two good posts criticizing the marriage movement’s indifference to the well-being of children growing up in non-traditional households, here <\/a>and here<\/a>. “There is a sense among the gay parenting opponents that if they just wish hard enough, gay parents are going to disappear. That just isn’t realistic and it’s appallingly bad public policy.”<\/p>\n

Surprisingly, a study has found that watching Fox News doesn’t change who people vote for<\/a>. Nice to know. Thanks to “Alas” reader Sara for the tip.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
