More on open source dickery

[thebratqueen]

ladybug218 pointed out that April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month. IRONY!!!

In more positive news, vito_excalibur brings us the Open Source Women Back Each Other Up Program.

I mentioned this yesterday but it bears repeating: The Gift of Fear should be required reading for everyone. It's about understanding the psychology of violence and learning how to listen to

As I've caught up on various posts about this I noticed, disturbingly, how many of the comments defending the original "project" use CLASSIC shaming language. Meh.

Hmmm, I was just thinking how it was Sexual Assault Awareness Month as well.
I was kinda hoping this month somebody would have a post dedicated to the topic somewhere on lj but I haven't found anything.

Someone who's not on my f-list did yesterday, and now I can not find that sucker. Darnitall. If I find it, I'll link it.

Almost as soon as I commented, jennem posted about sexual assault awareness month here. Hmmm, I wish something and it comes true! Or it's a case of 'Shit! Only one week until May.'

[butterflykiki]

Found it!

Here!

I definitely second the recommendation for The Gift of Fear. I bought copies for all of the women in my life after reading it.

I made most of my sisters read it. I think maybe one of them still hasn't; I should make sure she gets a copy asap.

Hi Brat.

It is good to be ranting with you again.
And yet. It is horrifying to be ranting with you again.

Mostly, B, I just want this guy to get hit by a truck full of angry, large breasted women. Who do not stop when they run him over.

I volunteer for that truck!

[kita0610]

I'll buy the truck.

Thanks for the book rec -- I just ordered it (and bought 3 other books to take advantage of the 4 for 3 promotion) :)
