This excerpt taken from Jonah Mix’s essay on medium.com: An Open Letter to the Guy on Twitter Who Wonders if Biological Sex is Real Lately, I’ve seen a lot of debates break out on Twitter over biological sex — what defines it, how it can be measured, whether it exists at all.

The bone jarring stupid is so prevalent in the dude class. Like I can understand that you benefit from the current unjust system and really, because you are not particularly downtrodden, haven’t given any thought to the topic at hand. But, seriously, have the common decency to listen when others

This is a long post that starts with a woman discovering that the third wave liberal feminism (male pleasing) we have today is shit, and moving toward the tenets of radical feminism (female liberation from patriarchy). Cue the dudes that react in horror to the truth ignis-divine-eleison is telling. The

When you get what you ask for and realize it wasn’t what you were asking for. In this case dudes wanting cultural legitimacy for their hobby, but of course, unwilling to but up with critical scrutiny of what their hobby actually entails. I like the replication of toxic patriarchal

Women in video games, destroying men’s lives everywhere!!! Spending your time harassing people just doesn’t seem like productive or pro-social behavioural choices. According to a study recently undertaken it seems there is a positive correlation between unskilled players and the amount of abuse they heap on other players, especially females.

Part of the reason why feminist analysis is such a valuable tool is that FA deconstructs and identifies the constructed norms of society and rightly points out how craptacular said norms are for women. So, dudes, a glimpse into the faux-egalitarian society you’ve created and learn the implied lesson of

I saw this quote on the Anti-Porn Feminists blog. Too good not to share. I have seen a sixteen-year-old boy weeping in distress after getting a girl’s pube stuck in his teeth, I hear he was unshaven. I have seen boys showing each other porn on their iPhones on the

I just needed to share this with you, gentle readers. My humble experiences on other feminists blogs reminds me that women discussing women’s issues is a clairion call that rouses the dudes who either don’t have a clue what’s going on, or by the rights invested in their ‘peen, decide

Hey d00dz, do you realize all the shit that you don’t ever have to put up with. I bet you don’t. Blair has a helpful story for you. “This is about speaking up, creepers, and what good men don’t always see. Names have been changed. Some time ago, I

I’m finishing Brownmiller’s book, Against our Will. Funny how the arguments really have not changed and are still regularly trotted out by ‘feminist allies’ and critics here in 2012. As Brownmilla concludes, she thoroughly brings the noise and lays it all down on the table with bon mots like
