Wow. This essay by Rebecca Solnit is probably the best thing I've read this year. A forceful reminder to all those old white male pedantic bores decrying "identity politics" (cough, Hitchens, cough), that they might, just for once: Shut. The. Fuck. Up. If you don't think Rebecca Solnit can teach you a thing or two thousand, you clearly aren't paying any attention whatsoever.
