On November 26, Lilian Care invited me to join her as a guest on Houston Pacifica Radio’s The Progressive Forum (90.1 FM).
We talked about sex and gender, what men can do to get involved feminist social change, online hater trolls, and what happened at the recent Minnesota conference of campus-based antisexist men.
Also on the show is Todd Minerson, the Executive Director of the White Ribbon Campaign — a global organization of men working to end men’s violence against women. Todd has tons of good information about men and violence prevention, and shifts toward worldwide gender equality.
Todd is on the beginning of the show; I come on about halfway through.

On November 6-7 there was an amazing conference focusing on men’s anti-sexist and violence prevention work. My write-up about it for Ms. Magazine is available here:

Thank you to the Association of American Colleges and Universities for reviewing my book, Men and Feminism in their column, “For Your Bookshelf.” It’s a close read of the book and a nice review and I really appreciate it. Read more here . . .

Here’s a photo of the wonderful Baltimore audience.
The Feminist Sex event was at The 2640 Space, a beautiful converted church.
I’m back in Los Angeles and catching my breath after a series of amazing readings and lectures I gave along the I-95 corridor: Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and D.C.
These photos are from Baltimore. I asked the intelligent, feisty, irreverent authors Cara Bruce and Shawna Kenney to join me in one more of a series of Feminist Sex readings.
What’s Feminist Sex? Nobody knows. For sure. Yet. But I’ve been bringing the anti-sexist, sex-positive conversations together in one venue. Shake, stir . . . and be on the look-out for new book in the works titled (you’ve got it!), Feminist Sex.
Thanks to Red Emma’s Bookstore for inviting us and to the 2640 Space for housing the event, which outgrew the bookstore space.
This video is from a talk I gave in Boston in Spring 2009.
Thank you so much to everyone at The Center for New Words and NOMAS, Boston Chapter for inviting me!

Many thanks to Bluestockings Books and to everyone who came out for the Feminist Sex event in New York on Friday. Y’all rocked. Check back here for video. It’ll be loaded as soon as I figure out how to compress the file.
Greetings from NYC. Keep studying hard. See you in a few days.
Postcard #1 as promised: Boston. Study hard. Do good work. I’ll see you soon. And, yes, it’s cold!
