Sassy, Smart, & Ready to Shake Things Up!
Thanks to Kandist Mallett for sending this clip from Colbert Nation. And check out which magazine this radical knitter is reading at the end of the segment!
(Hint: It’s the fabulous feminist response to pop culture that rhymes with “itch.” Find Bitch Magazine online and be sure to subscribe.)
The Man Files goes live today at the popular group blog, Girl With Pen.
Check it out, forward to friends, and feel free to post comments on the site!
In the meantime, here’s a short excerpt:
Why The Man Files? Because gender isn’t just about women. And because it’s time that the amazing female feminists and the awesome feminist guys get out of our (virtual blog) boxes and start talking with each other. There are so many people doing so much hard work to end sexism, racism, and other forms of hate. Yet so often we stay oddly isolated.
Personally, I’m not one to shy away from difficult, challenging, or even unlikely convos across communities. The Man Files provides a forum for these conversations. The more we talk, the closer we come to preventing male violence against women, improving pay inequity, building strategic feminist alliances, and generally expanding our everyday choices in selecting where we work, who we love, how we act, and why we do — the sorts of choices that are so often constrained by rigid gender expectations.
