The Panelettes: Cara Bruce, Shawna Kenney, and Shira Tarrant
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.

There’s no denying that men’s involvement and interest in feminism is key to its continuing relevance and importance. Shira Tarrant, an expert in gender politics, feminism, pop culture, and masculinity, in her new work Men and Feminism, addresses the question of why men should care about feminism in the first place.
Men and Feminism lays the foundation for a larger discussion about feminism as a human issue, not simply a women’s issue. Men are crucial to the movement — as fathers, brothers, husbands, boyfriends, and friends. From “why” to “how” to “what can men do”, Men and Feminism answers all the questions men have about how and why they should get behind feminism.
