Here's what we've been reading (and watching, and thinking about) this week.
  • Have you been reading Ladydrawers' interview comic with Alison Bechdel? Catch up with part two of three over at Truth Out.
  • Women's Media Center writes about Ibtihaj Muhammad's journey to become the first women to compete for the U.S. Olympic team wearing a headscarf.
  • In the "Something actually good occuring at Penn State this week" category, Angela Davis and Eric Stanley spoke about Stanley's new anthology, Captive Genders: Trans Embodiment and the Prison Industrial Complex. (Thanks Toshio!)
  • Ms. Magazine writes on the importance of net neutrality—and how lucky we are that Obama vetoed it.
  • Sady Doyle gives the Spice Girls a second chance over at Rookie.
  • Dahlia Lithwick writes about and the old-school misogyny and the frightening new-school sexual harassment denial surrounding the Herman Cain scandals.
  • Maxwell Zachs weighs the pros and cons of the new BBC series, My Transsexual Summer.

Douchebag Decree: Douche Roundup! Herman Cain Edition

Science and Politics post by Mac Pogue, Submitted by Mac Pogue on November 3, 2011 - 4:55pm; tagged Ann Coulter, Herman Cain, jokes, political scandals.

"ye olde douchebag decree" in blue letters with a light blue hand-drawn douchebag in the background, and "BITCH HEREBY DECLARES THE FOLLOWING PERSON A TOTAL DOUCHEBAG" in small letters in red underneath.

The Republican party can't catch a break, what with all this Herman Cain business. They're sad that everyone's got them figured all wrong. They're jokesters! They're not racist! They will completely believe and support the victim of a high-profile sexual scandal, if only she would come forward! This week's Decree isn't for Herman Cain, who's got quite a collection already. Instead, let's take a look at all of the (Grand Old) party people who take the Herman Cain scandal not as another episode in a long string of disheartening sexual harassment cases, but rather as "OMG THE DEATH OF FUN."
