Links Round Up: Week Ending 16 June 2013

[frolicnaked.livejournal.com]

Hi and welcome to our latest edition of the Links Round Up! Happy Father's Day to all who are celebrating!

For folks who don't know, the LRU is a compilation of items from the past week that may be of interest to VPers and is intended to broaden the kinds of conversations we have here.

To submit articles for next week's round-up, e-mail frolicnaked@vaginapagina.com. If you have additional articles you'd like folks to know about this week, feel free to comment directly to this post.

As a reminder, in lieu of trigger warnings, I use keywords describing the themes of the piece. Please skim these before deciding to read the excerpt or click through for the full article. Outside sources are not safe spaces, and mainstream source's comments should almost always be avoided. The links I highlight don't necessarily reflect VP's views, or even my own, for that matter.

This week's round-up includes: reflections on femme identity and policing, gender and taking up space, domestic abuse and loss of employment, semen allergies, and a video about condom use.
