What Should The Consequences Be For Acting Like A Sexist, Racist, Or Generalized Jerk Online?

" A Call to Men: Masculinity Hurts Men and Women. Préface au livre de John Stoltenberg : Refuser d’être un homme – Pour en finir avec la virilité. Pourquoi publier le livre d’un homme dans une collection féministe, qui publie d’ordinaire des livres écrits par des femmes ?
Est-ce une entorse aux principes du féminisme radical ? À mon sens, non. Le mouvement féministe de la deuxième vague, né dans les années 1970 dans tous les pays occidentaux, et qui s’est inspiré du mouvement américain des droits civiques, estimait – et pour ma part j’estime toujours – que la libération des opprimé·es doit être l’œuvre de celles-ci et de ceux-ci ; que l’intervention des hommes dans les réunions, les réflexions, les ouvrages féministes a trop souvent comme effet de faire jouer à nouveau le prestige qu’a le groupe dominant aux yeux des dominé·es ; et de permettre ainsi à ce groupe de continuer à jouer son rôle naturel : à diriger, à exercer son pouvoir jusque dans les lieux qui ont pour but de le contester. Il est donc juste de leur refuser ce rôle. Genre : état des lieux.
La Vie des idées : « Gender studies », « théorie du genre », « théorie du gender », « théorie du genre sexuel » : les associations catholiques et les députés accablent ces théories de tous les maux, sans jamais les définir.
Three men talking: stepping away from privilege is not enough. You can practice gender awareness all you like, and it will still be incredibly easy to slip back into familiar patterns.
But quietly washing your hands of it is not enough, and a dramatic renunciation can backfire. The credits rolled, and the barrister made some introductory remarks explaining the political and legal history after the events of the film. He then opened the floor to the rest of the group. Lori Rotskoff: When We Were Free to Be... Revisiting A Children's Classic on Its 40th Anniversary.
If you grew up or raised children during the 1970s, there's a good chance you remember "Free to Be...You and Me", the groundbreaking children's record, book and TV special that debuted in 1972.
Conceived and co-produced by Marlo Thomas, "Free to Be...You and Me" offered kids a fresh alternative to rigid cultural stereotypes that prevailed in the media during the "Leave it to Beaver" era. Featuring a collage of songs, skits, stories, and poems recorded by celebrated actors, musicians, and singers, "Free to Be...You and Me" changed the way in which parents and children thought (and continue to think) about gender roles, equality, and social justice.
Gay marriage polls: Bias and other lame conservative excuses for rising public acceptance.
The Kansas sperm-donor fiasco: Gay marriage, adoption, and parental responsibility. Republican’s abortion bill risks alienating Asian Americans. The problem with Franks’s proposal is that it’s not entirely clear there is a problem.
Sex-selection abortion is a huge tragedy in parts of Asia, but to the extent it’s happening in this country, it’s mostly among Asian immigrants. For Franks, who previously tried to pass legislation limiting abortions among African Americans and residents of the District of Columbia, it was the latest attempt to protect racial minorities from themselves. “The practice of sex selection is demonstrably increasing here in the United States, especially but not exclusively in the Asian immigrant community,” he announced on the House floor Wednesday afternoon.
War On Women: Extended Cut. Someone at NBC Apparently Approved This Creepy, Porny Video of Female Olympians. This started out really poorly, lick-lipping and some pretty gratuitous shit.
But I didn't find the rest to be so bad, really, once they started showing heads and faces and stuff like that. I was thinking the same thing about the field hockey player until I noticed the fact that her knee did some really interesting things with the water on the turf... which kind of serves to highlight the conditions under which they were playing. So I asked myself... was it me looking at her ass when there was actually some other action centered in the frame? Big Marriage Gap Keeps Obama Ahead. Romney Faces a Formidable Gender Gap. CINCINNATI – What do women want?
Another four years of President Obama, according to a new YWCA-sponsored poll that found him leading Republican Mitt Romney by 49 percent to 31 percent. The yawning gender gap mirrors other surveys nationwide and here in Ohio, a hotly contested swing state, and it represents one of Romney’s most pressing challenges in the home stretch before the Nov. 6 election. Women typically favor the Democratic nominee, but the gender gap popping up in recent polls is larger than expected. “Women think President Obama is more in touch with their concerns,’’ said Democratic pollster Celinda Lake, who supervised the YWCA survey with Republican pollster Kellyanne Conway.

SHE WORE WHAT? (Focus on the Issues, Please) Michelle Obama and Ann Romney.
