great pieces by penny red
An excellent piece by Penny Red on women, blogging and the future of the left. Also a great piece here published yesterday on misogyny and the veil. She also wrote this great piece on the idiocy of transphobia within feminism a while back:
Feminists - even prominent ones with big platforms to shout from - do not get to be the gatekeepers of what is and is not female, what is and is not feminine, any more than patriarchal apologists do. Intrinsic to feminism is the notion that such gatekeeping is sexist, recalcitrant and damaging.
