We at Best of the Left created a Storify of the conversation between Nicole Sandler, Elon James White and others regarding Patricia Arquette's comments back stage at the Oscars. These events took place 3 weeks ago from the time of this posting, my intention is not to stir up an old debate but to archive it in a way that I hope some will find instructive and enlightening. - Jay!

Today we get some reminders about what feminism is and what it isn’t, plus make an effort to explain the pay gap in ways that, at long last, everyone can understand

Today we take a look at the fallout from a badly reported case of rape at a UVA frat house. Rolling Stone seemed to be trying to help but with a completely upside-down approach of how to expose the problems of rape culture, compounded by one journalistic blunder after another, they only succeeded in making the problem worse.

Today we take a look at why street harassment, from the most vile to the most seemingly innocuous, is holding back the fight for equality and making half the population feel like targets for abuse

Today we take a look at a variety of ways that (mostly) men attempt to police the actions and choices of (mostly) women, causing nothing but damage as a result

Today we take a look at violence against women, both physical and political. [TW - IPV]

Today we take a look at some of the fights being waged, setbacks and successes of the abortion rights movement

Today we take a look at the Hobby Lobby ruling from the Supreme Court. Just as with money in politics, I'm pretty sure they're just trying to make the status quo so outrageously bad that we have no choice but to fundamentally change the system

Today we look at some of the effects, large and small, of living in a systemically misogynist culture. Turns out they're not good.

Well, just when you thought we'd reached a point in society where women were on perfect parity with men in all ways we're reminded that that's not actually the case at all in any way but especially so when it comes to reproductive self-determination.
