Today's little pile of awesome.

[nonethefewer]

* Poem about My Rights by June Jordan.  Once I got past the formatting (I am restricted in my brain by preferring rhyme schemes and such), I found I adored the poem.

* If you read nothing else today, read about what happens when we switch from active to passive voice.  From comments, tigtog says:

If it makes no sense to make objections that reports that "a man robbed a bank" are accusations that all men are potential robbers, then it simply doesn't logically make sense to make an objection that "a man attacked a woman" is an accusation against all men: it's such a simple and irrefutable example of the double standard.

* "It's not the empty street that causes rape."  Goddamn, today is awesome for linkage.
