Yes Means Yes: Visions of Female Power & A World Without Rape is on tour right now. Edited by Jaclyn Friedman and Feministing‘s Jessica Valenti (who Shameless interviewed last year), Yes Means Yes includes an essay by Shameless publisher Stacey May Fowles, as well as some other familiar names from the feminist blogosphere (Feministing’s Samhita Mukhopadhyay, Racialicious‘ Latoya Peterson, and Feministe‘s Jill Filipovic).
I talked to Jill Filipovic last night about her essay, “Offensive Feminism: the conservative gender norms that perpetuate rape culture, and how feminists can fight back”.
Check back tomorrow for the Q&A!

Our comment policy
Shameless prides itself on the diversity of opinions expressed by our writers, and we encourage and appreciate different points of view. Our intention at Shameless is to foster community and to maintain a safe and positive blogging environment; we do not consider it our duty to give a voice to anybody with an opinion.
Discussion on this site is moderated. We will delete comments that:
(We get to decide what's discriminatory, hateful, attacking, or inflammatory).
In some cases, we will cap off comments on a discussion when we feel they are spiralling out of control and fostering an unwelcoming space for bloggers and readers. Comments will be closed by the Web Editor, unless the post is by the Web Editor, in which case the Editor in Chief will close them.
If your comments repeatedly make the same point, they may be deleted. This also applies to comments made by multiple members of the same organization.
Your comments should be about the topic of the post, not its writer—although we certainly encourage praise for our writers, if you want to say something nice.
