Linkage: feminism & privilege

[juliet]

Warning: some of these may be triggery. They are all very, very worth reading though.

* The Terrible Bargain We Have Regretfully Struck, and follow-up. Well, well worth reading.
* On Rape And Men.
* Another post about rape - "If we teach women that there are only certain ways they may acceptably behave, we should not be surprised when they behave in those ways." (Warning: may be triggery.)
* For the Uninformed: Privilege, Perspective and The Little Things That Jab
* Where Are All The Male Bloggers?. Slightly more lighthearted than the previous posts. Or at least satirical.

(thanks to narah for some of the above links)

Thanks a lot for posting these - read some of it and having to save the rest for later.

(in fact i wish there was like, an lj retweet button rather than just C&V :))

Those are brilliant. I've been struggling to explain the concept of privilege and I was reading the genderbitch blog going "Yes! That!"

Plus, rape arising from gendered interaction: depressing but so, so true.
