another interesting one is this, about the pro-choice re-awakening. it's a really well-written piece on the hypocrisy, double standards and paternalism rampant through society regarding women. From the article, which I highly recommend you read:

The Rush Limbaughs of the world don’t get to define the boundaries of appropriate sexual or moral behavior. But something is happening: Women are defining those boundaries for themselves, with many men alongside them, and they’re being reminded that there’s a concerted movement to take that right of self-definition away. And we’re mad.
