One of the implicit promises of fascistic misogyny is that stripping freedom from women will give men more freedom.

But it's a lie. Men aren't free in a patriarchal system. And in a sex-segregated patriarchal system, they spend more of their time around other men who seek to control them.

Vulnerability, sovereign masculinity and male identity politics in the manosphere Critical masculinity scholars have recently suggested that men recognizing their own vulnerability, as well as the vulnerability of others, could be a tool for feminist masculinity politics. These arg...

In this interesting new article, Lucas GottzΓ©n argues that "feminist scholarship should ... develop models that help men critique neoliberal politics and late capitalism, rather than merely encouraging men to recognize a shared ontological vulnerability." doi.org/10.1332/3033...

We systematically delved into Tate’s messaging on Telegram and his website so you don’t have to!
While contrasting to his vile click baity, misogyny vids @ tweets, Tate’s self-help advice is insidious ideological scaffolding that leads to + celebrates misogyny

Disclosure of Child Sexual Abuse: Experiences of Men Survivors in India Sexual abuse of boys is a serious problem in India. However, little research exists about the experiences of male survivors of child sexual abuse (CSA), pa

For men survivors, the experience of disclosing child sexual abuse #CSA is a complex and relational process that evolves over their lifetime. Barriers to disclosure are often linked to patriarchal constructions of masculinity and heteronormativity in society.

Just saying hi to the folks I've recently connected with on this siteπŸ‘‹. I’m a #SocialWork academic, focusing on masculinities, sexual violence & sexuality.

The university is a relational space.

It isn’t a repository to knowledge that is meted out to those who pay an entrance fee. It isn’t someplace where some teach and others learn.

Instead, the university is a community. Learning happens in community. Knowledge is developed in community.
