Weekly links

• An extremely powerful description of rape culture [trigger warning]
• A new site on feminism and disability.
• Yet another problem with the attempts to make the UK an unpleasant place to emigrate to.
• More research showing, yet again, that the rate of abortions has nothing to do with legality, but quite a bit to do with access to more pre-emptive methods of contraception.
• Transgender Children's Bill Of Human Rights and (from the comments there) an article about one of the reasons the UK needs it [trigger warning] - what, schools dealing badly with bullying?
• Ian Baynham, the victim of a homophobic attack, has died. He was the third victim of a fatal homophobic attack in London in the last 12 months.
• From the F-Word, a quote from a fund manager who claims that the fear of sexual discrimination at work causing fines is making firms reluctant to hire women. The illogic used in that justification makes my head hurt.
• More blackface. How many layers of decision did this have to go through with no-one realising it was unacceptable?
• Johann Hari dissects the problems with de facto class-based segregation in schools.
• Women and the environment
• Finally, an exhibition: Toward the Sentient City. The (intentional) unfriendliness of "Too Smart City" is especially interesting, and they point out that in many ways it's just adding more automation to the unfriendliness already in city designs.
