Researching my post on street harassment I dug up a lot of anger-inducing, but informative pieces on a variety of 'women's issues that are really men's problems' (new fav phrase).
Consider your consciences' raised:
Just wanting to read your book is apparently not acceptable on public transport if a man wants to chat.

A handy debunking of the common bullshit arguments surrounding legal consent.
An analysis of two empirical studies showing acquaintance rape is the biggest problem and that large numbers of such rapes are committed by repeat offenders. Why 'bros before hos' is a dangerous attitude to have.
Why we need to stop concern trolling victims and focus our attention on the people at fault. Hint: Not the victims.
