Stuff I read today while putting off updating my CV

1. In light of all the pre-and post-New Hampshire misogyny masquerading as "why I don't support Hillary Clinton," a nice thoughtful piece over at Obsidian Wings that differentiates between actual politics and sexism. Don't read the comment thread, though, unless you're interested in how many people refuse to separate the two.

2. An oldie but a goodie about how tiresome it is to have men always playing the gender card.

3. Scott Lemieux's analysis of what the Supreme Court is doing to fuck over your voting rights. See also what Dahlia Lithwick has to say. And don't think it's "just" the "poor and marginalized" that will get fucked over. There are a lot of people in the US who believe in, you know, public transportation and/or biking, and therefore don't have drivers' licenses.

4. Over at LGM, Bean points to a new idea: high school maternity leave. High fucking time someone thought about this. While we're at it, let's stop sending pregnant teenagers and teen parents to remedial programs designed for "behavior problems," shall we? No damn reason in the world why getting pregnant ought to keep you from getting the same fucking education as everyone else, and going to college if you damn well want to.
