- Dancer highlights Bob Clarkson failing to remember that National needs more women to vote for them, not less. (Where's the leadership's castigation of this wayward backbencher, or do they only reserve that privilege for their female MPs?)
- Make Tea Not War doesn't like misogyny and isn't chuffed about misandry either.
- Martha has some glorious cupcake porn, as does Megan (warning: these cupcakes are in an immature state).
- artandmylife writes about tagging versus street art and has a stunning example of the latter to share.
- Nikki recounts a sad incidence of everyday racism at the supermarket.
- Lies wishes everyone a cheerful week with stunning pictures and words to match.
- Anjum reflects on the Business Roundtable's report into the "viability" of the Maori seats. (Isn't viability usually assessed for something that is only currently a proposal, rather than something already in existence? To my mind using the V word always implies that the object/concept involved shouldn't be considered viable at all.)
- Ana looks at the return of Lake Waikaremoana to Tuhoe.
- Ruth quotes from and comments on an article by Alice Walker's daughter Rebecca talking about how her mother's radical feminism negatively impacted on her.
- Anne writes about the Mt Vic brothel situation, the recent report on the legalisation of prostitution, and the view that it's "normal" men who need the "relief" of sex with prostitutes.
- Webweaver assesses the dream? nightmare? ticket of Obama and Clinton for US President and VP respectively.
- Jolisa's son inadvertently works out why Ron Mark and Allan Peachey are so scared of people in hoodies: we are dementors.
- Idiot/Savant shares some research from Nature on sexism in science.
