Review of Men and Feminism

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 . . .

Feminist Sex in Baltimore

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.

Video: Men and Feminism


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!
