  • This Powerful Video Shows Just How Violent Online Harassment Is for Women in Sports April 26, 2016
    Part of the unstated job description for a woman in sports seems to involve dealing with serious forms of online abuse—harassment that often extends well beyond the innocuous jab and into violent, misogynistic threats. It's a well-documented problem, but that doesn't matter. It's a near daily reality for far too many women working in sports. […]

    On Sunday, John Oliver focused his attention on Puerto Rico's paralyzing debt crisis and the fast-approaching May 1 deadline looming over the island to repay $72 billion—an amount the island's governor announced last June could not be repaid and was therefore crippling Puerto Rico's economy. The ongoing crisis has affected many of Puerto Rico's 3.5 […]

  • I post this here because this narration reminds me of James Baldwin, whose writing many feminist found some experiential commonality (see Dworkin). It is really about male privilege and the tribalism that divides and traumatizes us -- through what greatly can be called the patriarchal habituation (addictive) process as described by Anne Schaef and many others. Misogyny (patriarchy), as he describes racism, functions in the same manner. I do not have time to say much more at this moment. Obama is a great writer. I can see why some of my literary friends who read his books early on were smitten by him. You can see where his remarkable diplomacy evolved. https://www.youtube.com/embed/NBzDb8UB8yA
