Twilight 4 : "Il s'agit d'une saga... →
Si on regarde bien, ce sont les hommes qui veulent protéger les femmes et les maintenir dans leurs droits acquis, et les femmes qui sont prêtes à y renoncer. Cette inversion est étonnante. Et pas tenable. La preuve, Edward ne peut pas se retenir. Il va mettre enceinte Bella alors qu’il ne l’avait pas prévu. Pour moi il y a une lecture très conservatrice de ces enjeux dépolitisés : la saga...

Also, an excellent illustration of Second Wave Feminism’s ingrained transphobia. And this woman will lecture an audience on “diversity”.

In Absence of Firm Policy, Facebook “Rape-Joke”... →
When Facebook removed some of the offending pages last week, it made no official comment or clarification of policy. Activists responded by calling for the company to issue a formal statement that rape is never funny and that such pages will be deemed a violation of Facebook rules (which bar speech that is “hateful, threatening or incites violence.”)

From the article:

In the weeks leading up to it, the figure of Sinterklaas (Saint Nicholas, historically associated with the Bishop of Myra) arrives in the country and, in the nighttime,...
