- Police forces fail to record rape claims. –
"The BBC reports that police forces are failing to record up to 40% of rape claims, with vast differences in recording across the country. When a victim reports their rape to the police, this should be recorded whether or not the case is taken to court, unless the claim has been verified as false or reported to the wrong force."

I don’t know about Jaclyn specifically, but a lot of feminists I know express these concerns, because we’ve been there. We’ve let guys push us around, because we didn’t know there were options. We built up bravado about it, because we didn’t see any way out. We thought the choices were be treated poorly or be celibate. We didn’t know you could say no to someone shooting on your face and enjoying his power over you while you frantically tried not to cry because come was leaking into your eyes. We didn’t know that there was a way to do anal sex that wasn’t painful, but was actually fun for you. And some of us took a long time to learn otherwise, because there’s few people out there saying that we can demand respect and still have fun, because so many liberals are cowed by the fear that expressing such a message brings down the hoards of people claiming you’re anti-sex. Which is awful, because most of us start to practice what we fear to preach once we get a little power and a few, hard-to-find books. But again, what’s really anti-sex is a message that tells women the sole path to being sexual is being treated like a pincushion.

"It’s moments like this—moments when we are tested and fail to respond to racism—that leave a lasting imprint and a simmering rage in the very depths of our souls. I feel ashamed that I let his comment go unchecked, and personally responsible for similar situations that occur daily. I caught a glimpse of casual, recreational racism. And I did nothing. And it made me sick."

The problem isn't that "racism/racist" are being used too much; it's that they're being used wrongly. And generally being received wrongly, too. It's not a silencing technique; it's the start of a conversation. Or, at least, it ought to be.But this entire article is, instead, one long complaint that "racism/racist" just can't be used to embarrass the hell out of anyone anymore. And if it can't, what good is it?
