My New Interview With Bitch Magazine!

Bitch Magazine is at it again!

Author Ellen Papazian asked me six questions about men and I happily gave her six answers. The interview is based on my books Men and Feminism (Seal Press), and Men Speak Out: Views on Gender, Sex and Power (Routledge). Hope you’ll check it out, pass it on, and add your own comments to the site.

From the interview:

We all know that feminist guy, right? The one who successfully sideswiped years of Neanderthal behavior to forge a path to guyville uniquely his own. And I’m not talking about the guy who wears a “This Is What a Feminist Looks Like” T-shirt and calls it a day. I’m talking about the men in our lives who acknowledge the feminine within them every day, without shame, and who stand up for women’s rights as easily as they stand up to pee greet you. These are men who understand the value of feminism and of doing feminism to better girls’ and women’s lives in a culture as waywardly misogynistic as ours can be.
