Finally, A Feminism 101 Blog, is an excellent source of information on introductory feminist topics that I was happy to stumble upon (no, I was not sent there for saying something shitty). I suggest it to everyone who isn’t a Level 23 Feminist Dungeonmaster, as I generally consider myself fairly knowledgeable and I was [...]

I Am Not A Weapon is the new blog founded to “look at gendered issues from a male, pro-feminist perspective.” Founder Mike Meginnis has two posts (here and here) at his own blog, explaining the purpose of this project. I want to explain why I think this is very important. Men have a self-interest [...] The post, “Children and Careers”, over at Echidne of the Snakes takes issue with this old Washington Post article that I also found problematic. Here’s the conclusion: I know that articles like the one I linked to must address the world as it is and not the way some feminazi goddess might like it to [...] Thanks to continued watching of the Sleeping With The Enemy posts at Feministe, I found Words Are Not Fists, an old post by Hugo Schwyzer that does a wonderful job of explaining how generally pro-feminist males act to silence women from expressing their anger/frustration/ disappointment and why they need to stop.

As long [...] In reading Family Structure, Institution, and Growth(link to pdf) by Avner Greif, I happened upon this fascinating little tidbit: Relative to the kinship family structure, the nuclear family has both growth-enhancing and growth-retarding properties. For example, while the nuclear family enhances flexibility in economic decision-making, kinship groups can better provide social safety nets than the nuclear [...] I’m a week late to the party, but was very impressed with this article by Mike Meginnis: War is a Gendered Tragedy It’s well worth the read. While tooling around the intertubes, I happened upon this little bit of blog advice from 2002: If you’re a woman who hates men, make sure to use a lot of odd misspellings, such as womyn and grrls to let men know that you hate them.
