good reading from a couple of feminist men

Since we talked about transfolk a couple of weeks ago, I've come upon this - Jasperboi on the type of man FTMs are expect to be, and on being a feminist man. It's an articulate assessment of one perspective on how feminists relate to transpeople, and the complications in being trans and queer with an egalitarian perspective on gender.

Also, any of you who are following (or even just vaguely aware of) the partial birth abortion ban might find Ampersand's collection of posts analyzing the subject quite helpful in your ongoing education and fight; I'm coming to rely quite a bit on his research. Amp's comments on Jasperboi's post are also worth a read, by the way.

Hi there,

My name is Jack Kahn- I am a psychologist and professor at a small liberal arts college here in Milton, MA called Curry College. I am doing a study that is looking at the ways in which men and women make sense of feminism as it relates to their personal identity (whether they identify as feminists or do not identify as feminists). I was wondering if there was any way you could pass this info along to people at We Have Brains as I am in need of participants (particularly men). It is a 3-part e-mail study- takes about an hour in total to do probably. Let me know and thank you for all the great work you are doing out there. My e-mail address is jkahn@curry.edu.

Jack
