Why more men than women will die of the COVID virus

Cleanliness is a girl thing. Real men …

The End of Men – Christina Sweeney-Baird
Just read The End of Men, Christina Sweeney-Baird – well worth the read, one of several notable bits: [She pretends to be infected] “I have never felt so powerful.

Meghan Murphy’s “The Unbearable Coolness of Porn”

“Unbelievable” on Netflix

Hearing from transmen about sexism
“From no longer having to worry about being attacked on my way home at night, to being taken seriously when I talk (just because everyone assumes I was born with a penis), life’s a breeze compared to when I was living as female.” Why are trans men always left out of the conversation? “It wasn’t …
