Save Susan!

Each Women’s History Month the portrait of Susan B. Anthony decorates classroom walls around the country. What many people this year will not realize is that a heated debate is taking place involving the life of the 19th Century suffrage leader, and of all things, whether or not she opposed abortion.

Redefining Masculinity: Are Feminist Men Getting the Job Done?

This has been an exciting week when it comes to men, masculinity, and feminism. From so called “men’s rights” groups, to male feminists strategizing about ways in which masculinity can be redefined; the male-feminist hype has definitely surfaced.

Ask 20 Feminists Their Opinion & Get 20 Different Answers

I just have to rant for a second. Hang in there, OK?
“Feminism” does not exist as a singular ideology that always looks at any given subject in any particular way. Rather than reduce an analysis down to a universal conclusion, by and large, feminists hope to inject topics with larger perspectives that may [...]

Obama’s Nobel Prize & Rampant Washington Sexism
