Feminism/Racism 101 link request

[steuard]

I'm planning to add an entry about racism/feminism issues to my "Wow, Good to Know" page, and I want to give a useful link for each one. But (and I hope this doesn't come across poorly) I've had a lot of trouble finding "Feminism 101" or "Racism 101" pages that sound like they were written by someone who was actually in the mood to teach. (Many of the sites I've found are, quite understandably, written by people who are clearly fed up with people asking basic questions that distract from more nuanced discussions. That's fine, but I'm looking for a place where I can send clueless people who haven't just derailed a conversation somewhere.) I suspect that something like a wiki format would be better than a blog format, for what it's worth (or more generally, a structured site rather than a series of entries).

So, any suggestions for sites that feel like an actual "Feminism/Racism 101" course rather than elaborations on "Boy, do you need some Feminism/Racism 101!"?

I don't have primers.

However, I often find the Feminist Hulk's Twitter commentary makes sense of things that bug me. In particular, I like the comment (regarding Anthony Wiener) "Straight, Cisgender Men: You forfeit cred for feminist politics if you use them to pick up women. Be a full-time ally."

Phaedra Starling's essay on Schrodinger's Rapist can be a little rough for some people to read and hear, but it's as gently written as it can be, given what it is. And it's really important.

Oh, good call: Schrödinger's Rapist is a really valuable discussion of some of these issues. I've got a good place to include that link.

(Feminist Hulk is maybe not so much what I'm looking for here, but yeah, that feed can do a good job of boiling things down to their essence. Twitter can be good for that, I think; in fact, every main topic on my "Wow, Good to Know" page is written to fit in a tweet for that reason.)
