Saturday Link Love: Victims, Gender, and Trauma

Saturday Link Love is a feature where I collect and post links to various articles I’ve come upon over the past week. Feel free to share any interesting articles you’ve come along as well! The more the merrier.

There Is No Justification for the Media Hierarchy of Victims, on Current Affairs—“In fact, the study found that the loss of 1 European life was equivalent to the loss of 45 African lives, in terms of the amount of coverage generated.”

To the man who felt it necessary to question my son in the bathroom at IHOP, on Mandatory (a)Musings—“My son came back to the table, explaining that some man just told him he was in the wrong bathroom, that he looked like a girl, and that he should cut his hair.”

What If Everything You Knew About Disciplining Kids Was Wrong? on Mother Jones—“Negative consequences, timeouts, and punishment just make bad behavior worse. But a new approach really works.”

I Have A Transgender Child, And I Will Keep Telling Our Story Until The Hate Stops, on Scary Mommy—“When the ultrasound showed male anatomy, my partner and I thought we were adding twin boys to the family.”

What Moana Taught Me about Trauma, on Parent.co—“This. This scene. It undid me.”
