Vote? WTF?
So I noticed the “Question of the Day” feature on the Weather Network website, which typically poses a question along with four response options, inviting site visitors to “Vote”. I haven’t done a survey, but I suspect this sort of thing is not unusual. Which makes it all the more disturbing. Why? Because often the …

When does the magical metamorphosis happen?
Our brothers were bossy know-it-alls, and they did cruel things to us and to animals. The boys in our class taunted us and always got into fights with each other. They were rude and forever demanding to be the center of attention. In high school, they became socially awkward, struggled with the material, and became …

Not a feminist? Feminism isn’t important?
Just so you’re ready for the next time some woman you know says they’re not a feminist or they don’t think feminism is important or what have you…memorize feimineach’s reply: Really, feminism is a load of rubbish is it? How’s going to university working out for you? Looking forward to getting a job and earning …

Stop Being Complicit in your own Subordination
Although our cautionary ‘Don’t blame the victim’ is very important in the context of assault, I think we have overgeneralized. And although I would certainly put more blame on men than on women for our sexist society, because it is men who are in a position of dominance, I do think women are often to …

Transgendered Courage
Transgendered people are often seen as courageous; they have the guts to take radical steps to become the people they really are. But I don’t see them as any different from people, mostly women, who get nip-and-tuck surgeries, botox, and breast enlargements. After all, they too take radical steps to become the people they feel …

Reporting What Women Do
What if for just one year, the media reported 90% of the time what women were doing instead of, as is now the case, what men are doing? Not because what women do is better, or more newsworthy, but just to see how it would change our outlook, our world view. The news might be …

Our Androcentric Culture, Charlotte Perkins Gilman
So I’m reading Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s Our Androcentric Culture…(yeah, same Gilman who wrote The Yellow Wallpaper and Herland…both highly recommended) – a few bits below… “Advocates of football, for instance, proudly claim that it fits a man for life. Life–from the wholly male point of view–is a battle, with a prize. …This is an archaism …

We Won!
“We won!” a neighbor crows to me. Apparently she’d watched a game of some kind on television the night before. “What ‘we’?” I snort. Okay, scoff. “You had nothing to do with it.” She probably spent the whole game, and much of her life, eating potato chips and drinking beer. The conversation ends. She can’t …

On the Radfem Doctrine of Separatism
Here’s the thing. Men are already separatists. (So really we have no choice.) Men already exclude women from anything, everything, important. (Any inclusion is tokenism: a false symbol, a PR move.) Men already refuse to get involved with ‘women’s issues’, whether personal or political. That feminism itself is considered a special interest thing indicates that. …
