I read things. I found them interesting. Show me other interesting things, please.
IC a Muslim (Sam Ambreen)- A very personal piece from Sam on being a woman of colour in the aftermath of a terrorism scare.
straight (Linda Stupart)- Linda takes us on a journey to how she embraced her queer identity.
Assault by police (tiredlegs)- Enormous trigger warning for violence. Tiredlegs tells the story of what happened when she reported concerns about sexual assault to the police as a woman with mental health issues.
The bipolar and abortion case (zedkat)- A response to a recent, horrific case in the news, and how it reflects some of zed’s worst fears.
What Do You Desire? (Emily Witt)- A long form piece on BDSM porn and how it is made, and what it all means.
Opinion: I Was A Misogynist Comedian (Michael J Dolan)- Michael was a misogynist comedian. He got better.
Whoremoms – A documentary on Sex Work and the Family Court. (Tanaha Koontz)- A fairly worthy cause for a Kickstarter. Read this story of the experience of a sex worker with the family court system, and donate if you’d like to see it made into a documentary.
On Reverse Cultural Appropriation (my culture is not a trend)- On white people crying reverse cultural appropriation when black people wear suits, and why that’s a nonsense.
Why Do Men Keep Putting Me in the Girlfriend-Zone? (insert literary reference)- A witty antidote to that “friendzone” bollocks.
You can shove your same sex marriage up your arse (riotstarz)- A very lucid critique of same sex marriage.
It’s worse when it’s a woman? (itsjustahobby)- Jem shares a story of women policing other women’s acceptability and ponders why it feels worse.
Corrected (STFU MRAs)- An artistic correction to some liberal bullshit which gets way too much credence.
Nick Ross: Myth Perpetuator (One Woman’s Thoughts)- A speedy response to the latest rape apologist bollocks in the Mail.
On the Swedish “riots” (MegafonenOrten)- All you need to know about what’s going on in Sweden.
The Consent Debate (eumelia)- On the understanding of consent in fandom, and how it’s quite terrible.
Judith Butler explained with cats (Binarythis)- Struggling to understand Judith Butler? Me too. This explanation, with cats, should help.
And finally, 19 cats who just need to check their goddamn privilege.
Another angry woman

I wrote a (long) blog about the whole story behind the police attack when I disclosed sexual assault. It’s at http://brynmonnery.wordpress.com/
I’ve tried everything I can think of, police I tried to report to a second time turned out to be institutionally corrupt, other organisations are of course supporting the man with the PhD & teaching qualifications over me, ‘cos I’m mad, ‘dangerous’, and not to be trusted.
Don’t know what to do. Even the local rape crisis closed from funding cuts, but even before that they said they couldn’t support me because I’m on antipsychotics (note not because of anything I’d done, just at the initial assessment they wanted to know what meds I’m on).
