Oh hurray, I’ll start with some from this year’s Shapely Prose:
Sweet Machine’s On Temptation (and Jeans) (And Stress, Anger, Habit)
Fillyjonk’s On Twilight, Romance, and Anti-feminist Ideas (And Why Fat Men Need Feminism)
Kate Harding’s Dear Oprah
And lauredhel, are you eligible for one you posted (The Obese) somewhere other than here? : )
The E-Visible Woman: “The first step to liberation is to free ourselves from these male-imposed shackles!”
Harriets Daughter: Mammy

I strongly recommend these posts.
Right… off to do a little more thinking about posts that have grabbed me this year.
[...] doing this every week, not least because then next year it will be a great starting point for the FemmoStroppo Retrospective (which we have not forgotten about for 2008, promise). So if I don’t do it, feel free to nag [...]
