Four Brief Critiques of SlutWalk’s Whiteness,... →
Imma respond to this properly laterz, but just quickly—while I get the point about “how useful has using ‘nigger’ been for black people”, please note that this post was written by a brown MAN. The argument that Hispanic/Asian mothers will not want their daughter going around calling themselves ‘sluts’ firstly misses the point that many WHITE mothers...

Should Menstruating Women Use the Internet? →
“Written in an era before computer technology, the Bible speaks much about the contamination a female can spread when suffering through the intense surge of estrogen and mucosal pain during the menstrual cycle.

Do What You Love, lovely. I refuse to compromise in my life. I’m going go out, and whatever I want to do I’m going to do it. When I made the decision to leave my #oldjob last year, it was because I realised there were parts of it I loved, and parts of it I hated.  So I looked at the parts of it I loved — the pro bono, the Charity Committee, the Reconciliation Action Plan...

Particularly in my early 20s, I observed amongst my peers what...
