To reject something, to ignore it, to elide it, to set it aside for more important matters is, at the same time, to include it, to be shaped by it, to be one with it. In the history of "philosophy" thus to be a rationalist is not to be an empiricist; to reject Kantianism, Hegelianism, Nietzsche, "postmodernism", analytic philosophy, continental philosophy, etc. is to dialogue with it. To reject

Direct from Thinking Girl is the interview meme. The point, which seems interesting to me, is to ask to be interviewed on someone else's 'interview meme' post on their blog and then answer on your blog and hopefully this will create a network of interviews and so forth. I like it. Because I'm a narcissist. So anyway, I axed Thinking Girl to interview me. And, even though she doesn't know me very

So take that and shove it.For a debriefing on what it means to be a feminist see below:All your feminist questions answeredAnd for those of you, especially women, who say: "I am not a feminist" - 1) shame on you. and 2) read this:Yes you are.Finally, for those from the Great White North, like me, who like to get their read on,

Most blogger's know that it was International Women's Day on the 9th. What most blogger's don't know is that the great country of Canada houses the same kind of problems as any other state. In this case police assaulted female demonstrators on this very day. See here. Montreal is very well-known for its police zeal, and Canada has had many problems with police brutality and overzealousness

Well, for this weekend's short blogging (cause I have a comprehensive exam next week and am studying up a storm) I wanted to mention a post by Berube who is now guest blogging at Pandagon. Bam. In this post he talks about prenatal testing etc. One of the things I noticed, however, was how much the commenters were discussing Down's Syndrom. My uncle has Downs, and is awesome, so I took special

Kal Penn is best known for his work as Kumar in Harold and Kumar. This show is stoner comedic gold on par with Supertroopers. He tried his hand with Rise of Taj, but holy cow can he not do an Indian accent. Seriously, mine is better. And that ain't saying much. So now he is in a movie by the director of Monsoon Wedding called The Namesake, which takes a look at diaspora issues. I don't know if I

There was an article in the cbc that brought to light a report about homophobia still being present in Quebec. It is kind of a no-brainer, because homophobia still exists everywhere. But, it is still telling that in "San-Francisco North" we have a current of homophobia. I know this because a close friend of mine was gay bashed near Berri-Uqam metro last year. Another gay friend is experiencing

An article in the NY Times (via Shake's Sister) is the latest in a kerfuffle down in the States about a group of high school students who in a production of the Vagina Monologues actually said Vagina and got reprimanded for it. Let me ask you this: what the hell else are they supposed to call it?

Since this will be my first content post, I figured I would list some of the influences of this post. Most of these are feminist blogs, and I will list my current, and subject to change, favorites (according to the criteria that they have the soundest theory I have found--that is, those that agree with mine--hah!):Pam's House BlendPandagonFeministeWomen of Color BlogQueer DudeBitch PhDMany of

This post is to say hello. Hello. Not for big speeches now, and because I want to fiddle with the blog settings, I will only say that I am starting this blog to give my own perspective on contemporary events. As the title and handle of this blog suggests, I am a male feminist. I hope to provide another voice and another set of experiences for the blogging community--of whoever cares for
