Du communautarisme des minorités
Je lisais quelqu’un expliquer doctement qu’il ne fallait pas que les musulmans tombent dans le communautarisme et que la France n’avait « jamais laissé s’installer un communautarisme très fort » (oh la menace !

How Most Things You Know About Feminists Are Vicious Conservative Lies
Given the mission of feminism, people (men and women alike) who are invested and conditioned to keep sexism and patriarchy alive have fought to distort feminism for the public. Conservatives have done a very effective job of making feminism a “dirty word” so that many women and almost all men do not want to say they’re a feminist regardless if they agree with feminism or not.

Men Who Know Things
Last week, I wrote about the authority society gives to the white male voice.

Sometimes, it doesn't cross their minds that women and people of color are intelligent beings who know things too.Smearing of feminism – a history through illustrations « GenderBen!
Cartoons have been sources of entertainment, political point-making, and propaganda for centuries. When I think of the subjugation of women in this medium, it is often through sexualisation. Betty Boop, Jessica Rabbit, Wonder Woman, the list goes on.Did you ever start a sentence with “I’m not a feminist, but—”?
