- “It is crucial, therefore, that we do not fall into the trap of seeing honour killing as the expression of an alien culture, religion or tradition that has no resonance in the West… It is no less crucial to insist that honour killing cannot be equated with Islam.” Jacqueline Rose for the London Review of Books.
- Heroines and Harlots blogs about the constant beauty tips and fat-paranoia that come with the iPhone app that’s meant to teach users useful things about their pregnancies.
- Owen Jones for the Independent on Assange.
- On gender, Wenlock and Mandeville.
- Captain Awkward on the challenges of friendship groups and not legitimising creepy gendered behaviour and sexual assault.
- The F Word on that awful One Direction magazine and its attack on Caroline Flack. Surely a new nadir.
- And finally, Le Tigre’s Kathleen Hanna on Pussy Riot. Who, appallingly, have just been found guilty.
