Revolutionary Work - Research. By Suzanne BownessPhotos by Luther Caverly When the series of revolutionary protests and riots – dubbed the “Arab Spring” – broke out in late 2010, news outlets worldwide were quick to highlight the role of social media in bringing these demonstrations to the world’s attention.
Yet Merlyna Lim, Carleton’s new Canada Research Chair in Digital Media and Global Network Society, says that a more accurate understanding of digital media’s role in revolution comes from resisting hasty labels. Her research instead takes a closer look at how the new format interplays with traditional networking, urban spaces, and activism. Although Lim has been studying revolutions in academic settings for over 10 years, her interest in revolution is personal. “I have always been interested in technology and activism. A more accurate understanding of digital media’s role in revolution comes from resisting hasty labels Merlyna Lim, Carleton’s Canada Research Chair in Digital Media and Global Network Society. 22 Podcasts That You Should Be Subscribing To In 2016.

Au Café des pratiques, on fait bien plus que boire un verre, on réinvente le bar de quartier. Avec sa large vitrine où s’affiche le menu, rien, de prime abord, ne différencie ce café d’un autre qui proposerait une restauration le midi.
Mais une fois la porte poussée, la décoration évoque plus un atelier d’artistes qu’un troquet. Des poteries sur les étagères, des peintures qui sèchent, pendues à des fils, une sorte de grand métier à tisser et un mobilier disparate accueillent ceux qui franchissent la porte du Café des pratiques, ouvert depuis maintenant cinq ans à Besançon, en Franche-Comté. Jian Ghomeshi and the problem of narcissistic male rage. His public persona shattered, Jian Ghomeshi’s overweening narcissism has become the subject of public scorn.
His reported violence against women, whether inside or outside sexual interplay, has been rightly denounced. Yet making this scandal all about Ghomeshi, we risk ignoring the broader sources of male narcissistic rage towards females. We are dealing here with far more than the pathological quirks of an apparently disturbed and charismatic individual. We live in a society steeped in male narcissism, one in which aggression towards women is deeply entrenched in the collective male psyche. Early men and women were equal, say scientists. Our prehistoric forebears are often portrayed as spear-wielding savages, but the earliest human societies are likely to have been founded on enlightened egalitarian principles, according to scientists.
A study has shown that in contemporary hunter-gatherer tribes, men and women tend to have equal influence on where their group lives and who they live with. The findings challenge the idea that sexual equality is a recent invention, suggesting that it has been the norm for humans for most of our evolutionary history. Mark Dyble, an anthropologist who led the study at University College London, said: “There is still this wider perception that hunter-gatherers are more macho or male-dominated.

Originally published on The Huffington Post and republished here with the author’s permission.
When Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder is in the news, it’s mostly because of the number of veterans suffering as a result of combat-related trauma. Victims of other kinds of trauma can also suffer from PTSD, though, and often do without realizing it. PTSD mirrors other mental illnesses such as depression and anxiety, and can also present as “I feel fine” when really, the “feeling fine” rooted in numbness and avoidance. I have PTSD as a result of sexual abuse that was perpetrated on me throughout my childhood. Child sexual abuse and sexual assault are very common crimes, yet they are so stigmatized that they receive very little attention in the media from a mental health perspective.
How Gaslighting Is Abuse That Stays with You Like a Terrifying Hurricane. 10 Things I've Learned About Gaslighting As An Abuse Tactic. 12 Reasons Why There's Orgasm Inequity (And No, It's Not That Women Are 'Harder to Please') I was young when I came to discover masturbation, and I had orgasms long before I knew what they were.
Nothing about it seemed complicated. I just rubbed “down there” for a few minutes, and it happened. But later, magazines, comedy routines, and sitcoms taught me that my body – and vaginas in general – were mysterious and complex, often too complex for those without them to figure out. Confirming what I’d been taught, orgasms weren’t as simple with partners as they were by myself. This is to be expected to some extent.

Five ways that “staying safe” costs women. Men, have you every made fun of girls and women you know for going to the bathroom together?
This habit is often high on the list of “girl” things men claim not to fathom. But here’s a simple and easy fact that can dispel a lot of confusion: Women regularly take steps to avoid the threat of rape, even if we don’t explicitly describe them as such. We train girls early to do things in groups — yes, including going to the bathroom — so that they aren’t vulnerable to sexual assault.
Ask yourselves, men, do you feel safe on your neighborhood streets? Le business de l'insécurité des femmes. Lire «Fifty Shades of Grey» entraîne-t-il des comportements à risque chez les femmes? Le succès presque inattendu du livre de EL James Fifty Shades of Grey sorti en 2011 et qui permettait à n'importe qui de lire un livre érotique vaguement SM dans le bus ou dans le train n'a pas que des vertus.
Selon une étude menée par l'Université d’État du Michigan, sa lecture est associée à des comportements à risque. Pour établir ces conclusions, l'équipe menée par Amy Bonomi, chercheuse spécialisée dans les études sur la famille et les violences domestiques, a étudié les pratiques sociales et sexuelles de plus de 650 jeunes femmes âgées de 18 à 24 ans.

Being Objectified May Be Linked To Sexual Coercion In Romantic Relationships, Study Says. Public discourse around objectification often deals with images we see in the media, from steamy Maxim covers to gratuitously sexual Burger King ads.
But how does this cultural focus on appearance make itself felt at the level of one-on-one romantic relationships? A new study suggests that objectification within a relationship is, at best, a serious red flag. If a woman is objectified in a relationship, the research indicates, it's more likely that her male partner will sexually coerce and pressure her.
In a paper published in a recent issue of Psychology of Women Quarterly, researchers from Bridgewater State University defined "objectification" as the act of viewing a person as an object with an emphasis on their physical appearance. The two-part quantitative study gathered responses from 119 men and 162 women. Sexual objectification is linked to coercive behavior in heterosexual relationships. “Objectification from one’s romantic partner may be particularly powerful, given that physical attraction is a key element of romantic relationships and investment in romantic relationships is a feminine norm.” A new study published in Psychology of Women Quarterly The Object of Desire: How Being Objectified Creates Sexual Pressure for Women in Heterosexual Relationships found that females who are sexually objectified by their male partners tend to experience sexual pressure (the belief that a man deserves sex and the woman is obligated to provide it) and coercion (generally or through violence and manipulation) within their relationship.
Sexual objectification of female bodies is an epidemic in this country, and is influenced largely by media’s portrayal and overall hypersexualization of women. What is even more troubling than the objectification itself is the disheartening conclusion from the study- that women tend to internalize their own objectification. Teens Feel Pressure To Have Anal Sex. Source: Thinkstock.com A recent study of 130 British teenagers claims most teens are being pressured into performing anal sex. Shockingly enough, male teens are also claiming to not enjoy the experience as much. Young men don’t think they need consent for anal sex.
“Yes” is the only thing that explicitly means “yes” in sexual situations. The absence of “no” does not imply the presence of a “yes.” These are some of the most basic guidelines to engaging in consensual sex — regardless of what kind of sex that might be, including anal sex. (Note: They are not the only guidelines.) Outlining this might seem elementary. Jackson Katz Profile - 'The Macho Paradox' Swarthmore College’s leafy campus in suburban Philadelphia looks lovely in brochures, but in autumn when night falls early, the long paths leading between buildings are lonely and surprisingly ill lit.
