Star Trek N00b, Episode 7: Mudd’s Women (That Horrible Human Trafficking Episode)
*Trigger Warnings: Immense show stupidity, rampant sexism. Trivialized human trafficking.*
Wow,…
The LGBTQ activist community has serious problems though, as does feminism in general. We want to be part of building an inclusive fourth wave and we want to earn the right to be a part of it. In my opinion, this will require recalibrating how we define these movements, and recognizing that we are not united by specific causes, but by specific values and ethics. Acknowledging intersectionality in our work means letting go of the idea that broad-level political initiatives are even possible. It means setting priorities not by which goal effects the most members (or the loudest members) of the group in charge of priority-setting, but by determining, in line with our agreed-upon values, who most needs help and who is least able to access it.

State of the Autostraddle Union #3: A Letter From Your Editor
DONATE to support Autostraddle and all your favorite internet things
(via fuckyeahautostraddle)Oh, no. I don’t watch that show. But I do read the Autostraddle recaps.
I’ve recently discovered Autostraddle. In addition to reading up on intersexuality (I discovered this site while doing research for class), I’ve fallen head over heels with an awesome section called “Drawn to Comics.” This section highlights printed and webcomics that have a feminist or queer focus. Not only are the articles fun reads, but they put a spotlight on comics I probably wouldn’t have been exposed to.
