Gay is the word - a short video about the implications of using the word "gay" as an insult
A message to women from a man: you are not "crazy" If you can get past the rather patronising title (do women need a man to tell them this? Really?) the content of this article in the Huffington Post is actually very good.

Paris Lees, of Trans Media Watch, writes about a new Channel 4 documentary on trans people. "My Transsexual Summer" starts tonight at 10pm.
I actually think the title of the HuffPo article is OK... I didn't so much read it as mansplaining as just a counter voice to all the male voices saying "you are crazy" - after all the "gaslighting" discussed can be done to us whether or not we agree with the offender that we are crazy/sensitive/irrational etc. so it is important to be challenging the gaslighting behaviour not just the internalisation of its message.
