Semi-regular political linkspam: Mangate edition

I've been trying not to include too many links about the various sexual harassment and assault stories, even those more relevant to politics, because I know that they're triggering for some people, and I wanted to keep my linkspams more accessible. The downside is that I haven't been able to share a number of articles and essays that I really liked, so I'm going to put a bunch of them together here. I'll continue marking them as I go forward. Obviously this does not cover every single scandal that's broken -- I'm focusing on bigger pictures issues where I can.

The name: a few weeks ago, T and I were out walking around a large local construction site. One of the human-door side entrances had "MANGATE" hand-painted over a white signboard; apparently "Man Gate" is the official term for a construction site gate that's not large enough for equipment (not "Person Gate", ahem), but we didn't know that, and it struck us as funny. Then T said "Mangate" should be the official name of the continuing scandal, and I decided he was right.
