Links to Some Good Recent Posts

Kind of trying to catch up here. So, a few links to recent (and some not so recent) blog posts I think are worth reading.

• Unsurprisingly, the gay-straight binary makes no more sense than the gender binary (Slate, Role Reboot).
• Nice post from Emily Heist Moss apologizing for thinking male sexuality is as simple as the stereotype has it (Role Reboot).
• Great article about why it really can be empowering to be on the receiving end of rough sex (AlterNet), as Belle Knox bravely insisted (xoJane). The comments definitely show people how confused people are about this.
