POPSNothing But Red Several days ago, I posted some quotes from an essay Joss Whedon had written regarding women and violence , both real and fictional . Whedon wrote the essay after about Dua Khalil Aswad, a Muslim woman who was stoned and who's death had been gleefully recorded by men in the crowd around her on their cell phone cameras and distributed via the web. Today, the Broadsheet at Salon.com featured a post about a group that has begun work on an anthology to be called " Nothing But Red ", with all proceeds going to a human rights organization - most likely Equality Now , a group Joss supports. Please check it out and pass it on if you agree its' a worthwhile project

POPSJoss Whedon on women and violence - real and fictional This was posted at whedonesque.com in May, but I missed it at that time. It's an amazingly hard-hitting and heart-wrenching essay by Joss Whedon (he of "Buffy," "Angel," and "Firefly"/"Serenity" fame) regarding how the world views women, the scourge of misogyny and what we can try to do about it. I would *highly* recommend this essay to anyone.
