I have a new piece on CNN about a case in Georgia. A woman with Down syndrome was raped. A jury convicted her rapist. A judge overturned the conviction because she "didn't act like a victim." Please read and share if you are so inclined.

I write about this as a story not about Down syndrome, but about rape and our justice system.

Obvious trigger warnings apply.

New essay up on straight, white, male, feminism.

How come you people didn't tell me Alan Doyle (Great Big Sea) was in Robin Hood. I might have watched it weeks ago.
