International Women's Day linkspam

If there is one message that echoes forth from this conference, it is that human rights are women's rights - and women's rights are human rights. Let us not forget that among those rights are the right to speak freely - and the right to be heard. (Hillary Rodham Clinton)

THANK YOU for this. It's not women's day any more here, but I crossposting the vid to my facebook :) It makes me smile that the date my paper was (supposed to!) come out, along with my article on female oppression, is women's day.

I love that speech so, so much.

Great linkspam. I haven't seen much celebration of International Woman's Day other than a few FB statuses but grouping relevant articles together is so much better

[pocochina]

I had not seen either of those articles yet, thank you.

Thanks for this wonderful collection of links. Awesome ladies tag indeed, but how can we expect any less when Hillary is involved? ♥

Gender Differences and Casual Sex will also come in handy the next time I'm debunking the evo-psych pseudoscience that some of the seduction community believes in.

OH MY GOD MY FAVORITE I LOVE HER.

UGH, EVO-PSYCH CRAP. YMY blog generally keeps up with these kinds of sociological studies, it's a fantastic resource in general.

SERIOUSLY! On my Facebook profile, I have her under "people who inspire you", and it gets me weird comments because I'm an obviously masculine/het/cis guy, but IDGAF BECAUSE SHE'S LIKE ROSLIN REINCARNATED.

UGH, EVO-PSYCH CRAP.

Lol, yeah. I don't have anything against the discipline in principle, but there's a huge tendency in pop culture to argue a (frequently sexist) preconception and back it up with "Evo psych says so!" without any academic basis.

I'm getting that impression. Thanks for sharing it!

I KNOW, RIGHT? Apparently MM was partially inspired by HRC during her work on the role. I CAN'T EVEN.

Exactly! They're just-so stories. As if NATURE IS MAGIC.

Fabulosity. ♥ I just spent like an hour going through all those links, lol. IT WAS WORTH IT.

I need to start doing link roundups more often, I think; I always have ten tabs open and never do anything with them.

The Gender Differences & Casual Sex study seems to be a "water is wet" kind of study to me.
The "God Bless This Union" placard at the wedding pic made me laugh.

heh, very much agreed, but I think there's a crucial place for this kind of thoughtful takedown of evo-psych just-so stories.

Evolutionary apologism always seems like a form of neo-predestination to me.
I always think so what if evolution made you into a sociopath, if you break the law you should go to jail anyway. Apparently this makes me a right-winger, btw.
