  1. LGBT murders in Brazil up 55 percent<\/a>. Trans people and sex workers have been particularly targeted: “‘A transvestite is 259 times more likely to be murdered than a gay man,’ says the study which is based on media reports, since there are no official statistics on hate crimes in Brazil.” I’d assume a study based on media reports is understating the true extent of the problem, since not every murder is reported.<\/li>\n
  2. Meowser’s post on airlines charging fat people extra<\/a> is the best I’ve read on the subject. Go read this is you have any interest in the issue at all. She also brings up a factor that I haven’t seen any news reports mention: this is an issue in part because the airlines have been making the seats narrower and narrower in recent years.<\/li>\n
  3. Slut-Shaming From Sextexting Leads To Teen Suicide<\/a>. So horrible. And as Renee says, “This is not about sextexting, this is about gender based harassment and slut shaming.”<\/li>\n
  4. Define Rich!<\/a> “We have lost our definition of rich and I believe it was done intentionally. If you are rich, then what better camouflage is there than to undefine \u201crich\u201d? And, what better way to undefine \u201crich\u201d than to have an argument accepted that \u201crich\u201d can not really be defined?”<\/li>\n
  5. Malcolm Gladwell, “Black Like Them.”<\/a> “The success of West Indians is not proof that discrimination against American blacks does not exist. Rather, it is the means by which discrimination against American blacks is given one last, vicious twist: I am not so shallow as to despise you for the color of your skin, because I have found people your color that I like. Now I can despise you for who you are.” Via Ta-Nahisi<\/a>.<\/li>\n
