A Perfect Storm of Misogyny, All on One Dudebelly - There’s nothing more that I can say about this heinous tattoo that Melissa doesn’t say 10 times better. The best line ever - “a truly magnificent image, so perfect in its encapsulation of myriad expressions of the hatred and objectification of women that it is as compelling as it is appalling”

The Lonely Death of Shannon Wilsey - Thomas asks some wonderful questions in this sad and tragic recall of a death that could have been prevented with just a bit of compassion from those who knew and supposedly cared about her.

Sexual Assault and Comics - This is an 8 part series on the topic of rape in comics. If you’re a comic fan I highly recommend this article. And even if you aren’t, you’ll probably get a lot out of it anyway. The link takes you to the 8th and final installment, however, it was the only page that listed all of the other installments.
