Blogging Yes: A Project for Sexual Assault Awareness Month

Hello, Feministing readers!

I just wanted to give you all a heads up about a project I’m doing for Sexual Assault Awareness month.  The anthology Yes Means Yes was a huge lightning-bolt moment for me a couple of years ago, both in understanding rape culture and in becoming a feminist.  In recognition of Sexual Assault Awareness month, I’m coming back to the book two years later, re-reading the essays, and blogging about them.  Each day I’ll read an essay and post some thoughts on it or vibe off a particular topic that was mentioned in the essay. 

I wanted to let you all know about this project, since many of you have read and loved Yes Means Yes .  Feel free to read along with me or to comment with your own thoughts on the day’s essay if you like.  Today I blogged about Sexual Assault, Abortion, and Entitlement in conjunction with Jill Filipovic’s essay, the first in the book.  You can read all the Blogging Yes project posts throughout this month at my blog, A Lesbian & A Scholar .
