July comments!

July’s comments are up and ready to read!

Loads of praise for Nino’s feature, Self harm, and discussion prompted by Sophie Platt’s feature on why it’s still this big taboo that women masturbate, and the harm that taboo does.

Most debated feature was probably Kit Roskelly’s piece on feminism and kink.

This month, as always, there are loads of comments on older features too, which always prompts me to go back and read all that interesting material again. This month’s best blast-from-the-past comment was on Catherine Redfern’s prescription for How to create a woman’s glossy magazine in five minutes, from 2001. Great stuff.

I still do not understand why we can't just sling comments underneath articles. You bloggers somehow manage to stand our direct presence, don't you?

Have your say

In order to keep this blog as a feminist and friendly space, comments will be subject to some rules. We do not seek to censor debate: the beauty of the internet is that anyone can set up their own blog or website to express their views.

  1. This blog is a safe and friendly space for feminists and feminist allies. Debate and critique are welcome where it is constructive and deepens analysis or understanding. Anti-feminist comments will not be approved. We get to decide what's anti-feminist.
  2. All comments must be approved by one of the bloggers. For this reason, there may be a delay before your comment appears.
  3. No sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic, classist, ablist comments, comments which make personal attacks on any blogger or commenter, or comments that are otherwise deemed offensive by us will be posted.
  4. Trolls will be banned from commenting. We get to decide who is a troll.
  5. No anonymous comments - please feel free to use your real name or make one up, though.
  6. Be nice.

Please note that your email address will not be displayed on this website. All comments are checked, prior to being published on this site.
