The Round-Up: Nov. 16, 2010

Denying Privilege Dude

• Looking for a new meme with an antiracist feminist bent? Check out Denying Privilege Dude, although remember that in real life he comes in different forms.
• Macleans really screwed up bigtime with an article originally titled “‘Too Asian’?”, which discusses the view of white students who don’t want to attend universities like U of T for fear that they’re “too Asian” and so the white kids won’t be able to compete. Luckily Racialicious is on the scene with some great analysis.
• In the department of interesting issues we don’t tend to think about, check out this article in the San Francisco Chronicle about the double-standard in advertising sexual dysfuction medication for men vs. women.
• Keeping my eyes out for opportunities to check out the new documentary about abstinence-only education and purity balls by 23-year-old filmmaker Cassie Jaye. Daddy I Do deals with important issues and RH Reality Check has a good recap while we wait for the film to be more widely available.
• Amazing Women Rock has put together a comprehensive list of the best web resources for empowering girls. And I’m not just sharing this because I write for the first one on the list.
