Marcella Chester’s blog about being a rape survivor: “Abyss2hope.” This particular article is about the incidence of sexual abuse among boys and girls. Also check out her website, “Date Rape is Real Rape.”
Bitch Magazine blog post by Mandy Van Deven about the classist, sexist, racist, homophobic and just plain mean blog, People of WalMart. (I could find the Facebook page for PeopleofWalmart, but not the website.)
Feminists Naomi Wolfe and Phyllis Chesler “face off over the veil” at Salon Broadsheet. This one’s especially interesting to me because like Wolfe, I defend any woman’s right to wear a headcovering, but I identify with Chesler’s views since I am also a Second-Waver. Read the article by Wolfe that started the debate: “Behind the veil lives a thriving Muslim sexuality.”
