By the way, I’m going to be in Sarasota Florida over the next week or so, so if you’re in town and want to have lunch drop me a line.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. An Unbelievable Story of Rape – ProPublica<\/a> A woman reported being raped to the police, and later confessed that she had made it up. But she hadn’t. A horrifying long read.<\/li>\n
  2. Study: Your Brain Is a Mosaic of Male and Female<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  3. On Setting The \u201cUniversal Sex Difference\u201d Bar Way Too Low | Skepchick<\/a><\/li>\n
  4. Growing Up Arab American in DC After 9\/11 \u2014 Medium<\/a><\/li>\n
  5. Tennessee Woman Charged With Attempted Murder After Failed Self-Induced Abortion<\/a><\/li>\n
  6. Son, Men Don’t Get Raped<\/a>. An Esquire <\/em>article from last year about male victims of rape in the military. It’s not a great scan, you can visit this post<\/a> to see a few pull-quotes if you don’t want to read the whole thing.<\/li>\n
  7. Feminist Frequency<\/a>: “Yes, it’s fake. Who cares? This is legitimately what she would have said anyway, so she might of well of said it.” Remember, it’s about ethics. Also, CW for misogynistic comments and death wishes.<\/li>\n
  8. Whites earn more than blacks \u2014 even on eBay – The Washington Post<\/a><\/li>\n
  9. Fun facts. (Humor).<\/a><\/li>\n
  10. Promoting Marriage Has Failed and Is Unnecessary to Cut Poverty | Demos<\/a> I used to be provisionally in favor of marriage-promotion, on the grounds that marriage seems to be something that a lot of people really really want, and it seems to be a net positive in most married people’s lives. But it’s become increasingly clear that marriage promotion policies simply don’t work.<\/li>\n
  11. 80 Books No Woman Should Read | Literary Hub<\/a> “…of course I believe everyone should read anything they want. I just think some books are instructions on why women are dirt or hardly exist at all except as accessories or are inherently evil and empty.”<\/em><\/li>\n
  12. Men Explain Lolita to Me | Literary Hub<\/a> “But \u201cto read Lolita and \u2018identify\u2019 with one of the characters is to entirely misunderstand Nabokov\u201d said one of my volunteer instructors. I thought that was funny, so I posted it on Facebook, and another nice liberal man came along and explained to me this book was actually an allegory as though I hadn\u2019t thought of that yet.”<\/em><\/li>\n
  13. Are Republicans For Freedom or White Identity Politics?<\/a> Interesting article about how (in the author’s view) Trump represents a change in the GOP to a European-style White Identity Party. CW: The author is a conservative who makes unfair assumptions about liberals. The discussion of immigration – in which it’s a terrible injustice to voters that neither party supports deportation policies that even right-wing immigration experts agree are not possible to implement – is impressively incoherent.<\/li>\n
  14. When a school assigned homework on Islam, it drew so many threats the district shut down – Vox<\/a> Of course I don’t excuse the threats, but some parents objecting angrily was inevitable given the assignment: “The worksheet asked students to try to copy the Shahada \u2014 the statement that “there is no god but Allah, and Mohammed is the messenger of Allah,” the pillar of Muslim faith \u2014 in order to understand the complexity of Arabic calligraphy.”<\/em><\/li>\n
  15. In Texas, a 12 year old Sikh boy was arrested for “terrorism” over a solar charger \/ Boing Boing<\/a> He was also suspended from school for three days. Deja vu.<\/li>\n
  16. More Big Pharma outrage after 2,000% overnight price hike on an infant seizure medication.<\/a> Deja vu squared.<\/li>\n
  17. Shut up about the y-axis. It shouldn\u2019t always start at zero. – Vox<\/a><\/li>\n
  18. 1918: Court Refuses To Fine Women In Man’s Attire<\/a>. News you can use.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
