Cogent argument for maintaining sex differentiated sports. Women’s Liberation Radio News By Danielle Whitaker – Apparently, archeology is “TERF” science.

Spreading the good word! Jane Clare Jones Over the last few months I’ve received quite a few emails from people expressing their frustration about the lack of feminism they are receiving in their university studies, or asking me if I would be able to offer any teaching… and it got

A slightly different tone from the usual DWR Sunday Disservice, but an important insight into the value of a change of contextual frame for those still mired in religion. AwayPoint Decent people don’t jeer at others who are functioning poorly in some part of life. With religious belief holding such

Six important questions for the Genderqueer. bodycrimes Laurie Penny is a compelling writer. Her smackdown of the Charlatan-Known-As-Jordan-Peterson is a joy to behold, as was her behind-the-scenes look at the Milo Yiannopoulos phenomenon.
