Here are some various sites that you might like or not, but I really like them all.Feminism | LGBTQA | Misc | Writing Resources
 | A Message to Women From a Man: You Are Not "Crazy" About emotional manipulation. |
| | Can a Man Be a Feminist? My personal Journey into Male Feminism "I can know about [feminism], I can practice it, and I can live it every single day, but the fact of the matter is that feminism is going to be different for men and women, and men will never understand how important feminism is in the same way a woman would." |
| Can You Tell the Difference Between a Men's Magazine and a Rapist? Discusses a study that examined whether or not people could tell the difference between what a men's magazine writes and the statements made by rapists. The results are quite frightening. |
| Schrödinger's Rapist, or a Guy's Guide to Approaching Strange Women Without Being Maced This one is quite old and most of you probably has read it before, but it should be read often. It should be obligatory reading. I wonder if men are aware of just how creepy they can be when they approach women? Or maybe I just have the worst luck in the world and get the all creeps. |
| To All Those Men who Don't Think Rape Jokes Are a Problem |
| Sexism and Misogyny: Who Takes the Rap? Misogyny, gangsta rap, and The Piano "The sexist, misogynist, patriarchal ways of thinking and behaving that are glorified in gangsta rap are a reflection of the prevailing values in our society, values created and sustained by white supremacist capitalist patriarchy."
|
| Confessions of a Recovering Homophobe Maybe a little too short. It would have been more interesting to read the process to come to the end. I recommend following the link to LetLoveReign.org. The images are beautiful.

| Margaret Cho Rightfully Loses Her Shit Margaret Cho posted pictures of her new tattoo on her butt. The response was overwhelmingly positive, but two people reacted negatively and she lost her shit on them. As a former bullying victim, I say that she rightfully did. It's not okay to go after people and say derogatory things about them online. You're not as anonymous as you think. |
 | När Föräldrar Sover
En sida om en film som är inspelad i min hemstad och som handlar om våld och droger hos ungdomar. |
| Personligt meddelande "Jag vet inte om du sett de där videoklippen på nätet om vad en bil i 100 kilometer i timmen kan göra med en människokropp av kött och blod. Och jag vet inte om du någonsin haft en ettåring sovandes på din mage, lyssnat på hans andetag, och insett hur ofattbart ömtålig den där lilla kroppen är. Jag vet inte om du älskat någonting så mycket någon gång i ditt liv att det känns som om du ska få en hjärtattack."

| American English Dialects I haven't used it myself, but I've heard good things about it. |
| Behind the Name Do you want a character's name to mean something in particular? Then this site is for you. Can't think of something appropriate to name your character? Try the Random Name Generator. |
| Behind the Surname ng trouble coming up with a surname? This site, though not as comprehensive as its sister site, will help you. |
| Medieval Name Archive Great if you want to write historical fiction or fantasy, even. |
| The 100 Most Important Things to Know About Your Character I swear by this. Okay, I only do it for the most important characters, but it gives such great insight into the characters. Great for avoiding plot holes. |
