Dr. Greg Canning is calling on all advocates for men and boys about International Men’s Health Week and to spend some time considering your own health. If you are due for a checkup, or overdue, go get one. Think about lifestyle changes that will add some quality and maybe quantity to your life.
Andy ‘Man’ Thomas has written an open letter to the Camden Center regarding Radfem 2013. In his attempt to contact the Camden Center Andy has run into roadblocks which have prevented him from contacting anyone there. Of course AVfM will help him get the word out out and publish it here for all to see.
Diana Davison asks an incredibly rude question about her fellow women in the workplace: “might we dare to ask ourselves if they are serving the greater good or just fucking with us?” Well that’s certainly going to ruffle some hen-feathers. But maybe they need a little ruffling.
Activism takes many forms: helping get corrupt prosecutors disbarred. Calling incompetent judges to task. Lobbying state legislatures and Governors. Helping get innocent men out of jail. Or sometimes it’s noticing a single call for help, and giving a shit when a man looks like he needs help.
British journalist Melissa Kite, a shopworn maladroit of a wannabe mother is now hearing her shelf-life tick down to reproductive extinction. Men, it seems, especially the ones who get to know her, don’t want to produce children with her. Of course, it has nothing to do with her. It’s all men’s fault.
Fathers 4 Justice veteran and Director at the consultancy Helping Men Glen Poole, having recovered from a bit of a dustup recently, has some great thoughts on where we are today in the men’s movement. We aren’t done yet, there’s a lot to do, but by God we’re going to do it!
Jared White has good news for feminists. Patriarchy is real! And we gotta do something about it. In fact, we are doing something about it. Although for some strange reason, some people are resistant to it. We wonder why. Maybe it’s their desire to cling to patriarchy?
We were recently in a conversation with someone who is very pessimistic and tells us he just doesn’t see people, women in particular, coming out of the woodwork to ask for change. We told him we see otherwise. And almost by magic, yet another HoneyBadger appears…
Some AVFM articles are the gift that keeps on giving. Paul Elam shares one of those from the past and also treats us to a review of why it was and is such a successful piece of writing. He also shows us how we have feminists to thank for it. This one will be fun for the old timers on the site.
The honey badger parade continues as Diana Davison offers up some analysis and some poetry on female power and male disposability. For anyone out there interested in understanding why women become MHRAs, now would be a good time to shut up and read.
