yhlee: Writing: Body Language - Are there writers who handle body-language-expressing-emotion particularly well? Pretty-please to show me them? (Fanfic included.) Also, are there particular body-language "tells" that you like seeing in your fiction? -
- oulangi: Bad dog, no cookie - The problem with identifying yourself as an ally or a âœgood guyâ ... is the danger of developing a blind spot to your own privilege. Thatâ™s what I see happening here. theferrett sees himself as an ally; therefore it is impossible that he would/could -
- unfunnybusiness: OH JOHN RINGO NO - The Open Source Boobs Project: Dear sir: I believe your patriarchy is showing. It spreads: (These links all have lots of good discussion in comments too.) -
- springheel_jack: open source male assholes - the notion that all situations and contexts ought to be thoroughly penetrated (yah) by the overtly sexual is deeply creepy; it means that, at any moment, one could be proffered for someone's sexual delectation, no matter what else is going on. -
- kate_nepveu: On asking to touch the breasts of a stranger - How am I supposed to distinguish you from the person who says he's really just whatever, but is actually going to put emotional pressure on me, or make a scene, or stalk me, or rape me?//I can't. -
- brown_betty: Oh jesus, am I wearing my "objectify me" pin again?it is fascinating to me that apparently there is a deeply felt conviction among some subset of men that the problem with today's society is that they do not have enough access to women's bodies. -
- cereta: We all have ideas that we find ourselves - Most men, I believe, really don't get, either intellectually or viscerally, the degree to which the awareness of sexual assault permeates women's lives. -
- rivkat: The right of making available - I tell you what: when you can code and/or otherwise reproduce my breasts without touching me, I'll consider what kind of license I might use for them. -
- vito_excalibur: This is not a joke. This is not satire. This is not a test. - I would like to start the Open Source Women Back Each Other Up Program. -
- r_becca: call for advice on modding exchanges & challenges - Question for anyone who moderates (-ed) a fic exchange or ficathon or challenge community or anything of the like -- if someone asked you for advice on running such a community, what would you tell them? -

- springheel_jack: open source male assholes - Body first, sexual delectation to men first, as object first, "mind" - i.e. as a human subject - very firmly second. It's simply to intensify the condition of patriarchal gender relations that already existed - or, to put it more simply, it's a frustrated -
- misskalloway: LOOK AT THIS POST! - You may have your own page on The Fan History Wiki and NOT KNOW IT//[...]THE SITE USES A BOT TO GLEAN YOUR FF.N INFO AND MAKE AN ENTRY FOR YOU. -
- miriammoules: Sexual Violence and the OSBP [Public] - It takes courage to see our monstrousness. It's even harder being able to see why someone may think us a monster, and realising that, in humility, there's no way around behaving the way we just did. -
- tikatu: An interesting frustration... - there are over forty years to consider and I've only been in the fandom for five. How much of that lost - and it is lost - history should be dug up? Or is just the history of what's been going on here, on the internet, be considered? -
- moonmip: Writing Resources (with added commentary because I can't help myself)What follows is a mixture of resources that can all be found online, peppered with my own ideas.
- icarusancalion: Fanfic and the Magical Forget Ray, or Things I do when I should be doing homework. - In my view at least, the personalities behind the stories are irrelevant. The stories stand by themselves. I may not like someone. I'll still read their fic. I'll still recommend it if I think it's good. -
- wicked_socks: Something else that really bothers me fr - It makes many of them assume that little toe dip has provided a full life voucher, a feminist street cred... Because after that little toe dip... any criticism is seen as attacking that feminist cred, something which he was already given for life. -
- mimesere: how to disappear completely - STOP SAYING THEY ARE WHITE. STOP IT. *breathes* In terms of diversity of race/religion/sexuality, bandom *wins forever* over any other popular fandom I've seen. -
- ohinternets: Race Imbroglios: Still Never Funny, Even When About Comedies - It's a lot of people pretending to be indignant over the lack of Latino visibility in the media, but really, it's a lot of people blaming a Mexican for being whiter on the outside than he should be. -
