These posts ask readers to drop relevant links that they tend to share widely because they do a great job explaining/clarifying basic feminist concepts or debunking anti-feminist myths/factoids (please check that it hasn’t already been linked in an FAQ by searching on the post title). Obviously this is mainly looking for recent posts/articles (within the last 6 months or so), but older material should also be linked if it’s stuff that you just keep on referencing in recent discussions.
If a relevant link happens to be one of your own writings, then please shamelessly self-promote it! And if a post of yours, or a friend’s post, gets linked by somebody else, feel free to squee delightedly here in response.
In general, if somebody else posts a link that you were going to post, please respond with a note to that effect in comments. Treat it as an upvote, and please go right ahead and leave other topical links in your response.
In particular, if you know of a post that would fit into the Further Reading section on any of the FAQs, please please please drop a link with that recommendation – a lot of those posts referenced in the FAQs date back half a decade or more, and I’d like to expand the related links sections with more recent references as well. Also if you think that a post already linked in one FAQ is also relevant to another FAQ, please say so.
Some concept clarification:
The Role of Feminist Criticism by Miriam at FreethoughtBlogs
And a wonderful example of feminist criticism from Genevieve Valentine: Feminism, Brownies, and You
We’ve gotten a lot of very positive reactions to this at The Radical Idea: http://theradicalidea.wordpress.com/2012/04/14/8-lies-about-feminism-people-cling-to-and-why/
Thanks, Randi. That’s some fine debunking.

[Moderator snark: well now, who's an *adorable* little twerp who doesn't understand the concept of a "link" then? Since you appear to have a particular mythical bugbear between your ears, I'll leave the readers with a link that debunks it, and which would never have appeared on this thread without your attempt to derail it. Thanks, polnick!

Hi there, self promotion!
I’ve been writing a blog for the past year mainly around teaching my nieces about feminism and topical feminist issues – just in case anyone wants a read http://talatyaq.wordpress.com/ (usually every second friday)
That’s a great idea of yours, talatyaq. I hope your nieces are enjoying the discussions.
