At Pink Scare, we discussed the so-called ‘Craigslist killer’ who committed violent crimes against women, which somehow surprise everyone because he’s so “clean-cut” and has such a bright future. How could such a nice, upper-class white man do such bad things?

It's not rape if she changes her mind: Afghan edition looks at the rationalizations used to defend a law which allows husbands to control their wives. Responding to injustice that doesn't just happen looks at how investigators shift the responsibility for their actions and inaction related to rape cases onto all those women who lie about rape.

And since I wrote my previous SSPS comment, I've also put up this: Psychiatrists see reasonable adaptations to CFS, label it “cause” and “maladaptation”

I've got some good stuff this week! A gender/racial analysis of the recent episode of "Bones": The Girl in the Mask. Being a show I like, I was rather disappointed in this ep. And what I'm sure will become a semi-regular feature: People I Love Who have Done Shit I hate. Up on this post? Seth Rogen, and Nathan Fillion. Speaking of Nathan Fillion... I had an interesting couple nights that culminated in me writing this post: Sex Dreams and Nathan Fillion. And last for the shameless promoting... a pretty picture.

I didn't think I'd have anything this week, but it just occurred to me that (outside its legal definition... and possibly inside it too) a big problem with "consent" is that it's radically sexualized. Whereas respecting the decision behind consent, not to mention respecting the decision *maker* is scarcely acknowledged at all. I posted about that here. Amanda Marcotte illustrates the problem here figleaf

I got a bit religious this week, posting responses to a site called Conversational Atheist on Biblical references to slavery and Jesus' sacrifice. I also posted some poems by Adrian Plass, evangelical Christian.
