Some of these are very old, although the top two are ones I found yesterday.

Vulture Sexual Harassment: It says 'in publishing' but the kicker for me is the relationship with her (now-ex) boyfriend and these words towards the end of the article.
Guardian US Alt-right are violent, anti-fascists opposing them adopt defensive tactics. This is not accurately portrayed. But we already knew that, didn't we?
Guardian UK It's not actually about the tattoo: there was a lot of palaver over the woman who was 'devo' about her son getting a tattoo six years ago. I didn't get it myself, exactly, but saved the link because I wanted to think about it. I just re-read it, and it's less about the tattoo and more about the severing of apron strings and the unwillingness of his mother to let go.
( ramblings, and my own relationship with my mother )

NPR American Evangelicals: goes into the intersection of religion and race. For instance, white self-identifying Evangelicals generally vote Republican. But black self-identifying Evangelicals generally vote Democrat.
I don't think there's a tickybox for 'Evangelicals' in the Australian Census. The closest is probably 'Anglican' (13.5% in 2016).
Daily Kos Let's talk about race and religion... This is a really good, in-depth article about the label 'Evangelicals', which also talks about race and black evangelicals and how they have been, are, and will be changing the faith landscape of the US. (Also, a point: the exit polls that talk about 'evangelicals' only allow white people to identify as 'evangelical' which means when media talk about "the exit polls say evangelicals..." they mean specifically and exclusively white ones.
HBR In the workplace, men and women do the same thing, but women are penalised for it. The conclusion is "well, duh" but the numbers help for argument's sake.
Guardian If everything is a circus, who cares about bread? (Aug 17)
When Our Deputy PM (basically the VP) found out he was actually a dual citizen, which isn't allowed under our constitution, there was much amusement: Barnaby Joyce, as a fellow Kwassie, I feel a cultural responsibility to you....
Of course, he's since followed that up with cheating on his wife after bleating about the sanctity of traditional marriage. As is par for the course for conservative politicians around here.
The Great Debate is two theologians writing out their thoughts on Marriage Equality:
one for and the other against, both from biblical perspectives (as in, reading from the generally accepted text in Christian circles).

It’s like teaching someone how to play a game and then punishing them when they follow the rules; women would act differently if we believed there was any other way to escape unharmed from the whims of men.
