Roundup: October 24, 2011

Sorry for the absence. Posting will continue to be infrequent, since I'm a college student doing too much stuff. Today I was inspired to share many of the insightful things I've been reading.


Great post on sex-positive feminism.

I am glad to see that Dr. Pepper's popular opinion seems to be suffering because of its blatantly sexist ad campaign.
Dr. Pepper is often my go-to soda (I don't drink it very often), but I haven't bought any since learning of the campaign.

I think you should read this piece on the popular myths in the media about Occupy Wall Street.

I am slightly intrigued by reading about this book. I have been interested in thinking more about feminism in relation to relationships.

Post from Shakesville about disturbing social experiments being performed on prisoners. At the end of the post are things you can do to take action.

Finally, a reminder that cultural appropriation, misrepresentation, and racism do not make for a good Halloween costume (or costume at any time).
