One of those rare times I dump a link here.
[Massive trigger warning for the link, and therefore probably also the comments to this post.]
Laurie Penny, being a very brave woman indeed.
Laurie Penny is one of the few mainstream reporters whose work I regularly read, and this piece, while published on her personal blog rather than in a mainstream paper, is a powerful argument against accepting the current pushback in our general conversation about rape. If you can read this, do, but keep your self care in mind; it's not easy. Feel free to discuss in comments.
