‘How feminism hurts men’

A tongue-in-cheek post on how feminism hurts men:

I personally find this reaction to the charge that men are oppressed by feminism more efficient than trying to argue against it. Because it makes plain how absurd it is.

Raising decent men

Some new fathers agonising about how to raise their sons in a culture of violence against women:

Analize – Journal of Gender and Feminist Studies

AnaLize is one of the few journals of feminist studies published in Eastern Europe. It exists since 1998 but had a long break and has been recently re-launched as an on-line, open access, peer-reviewed international journal.

It published lots of good stuff in the past, and got the Civil Society Prize for Best Civil Society Publication in 2001. Do send contributions – the current cfp is on ‘Controlling (women’s) bodies’.
