My co-blogger Andrew comes to terms with his feminism and whether it’s appropriate for men (who probably have a bad inner conscience) to appropriate the term.

Also…! Check out the comments to see awesome Feministe commenters give Andrew a cookie!

Quote:

“My ultimate point is that feminist theory is something that we need in order to do our job as thoughtful analysts and critical observers of our society. In that sense it is very useful, for the most part in ways it does not get enough credit for. That being said, woe be unto any man to lightly apply the term feminist to himself. It is a red flag that the guy might be covering for a bad conscience, that he is bullshitting in order to distract people from his most loathsome exploitations of female people. The best that can be said is that it is a minefield littered with opportunities for hypocrisy–it can only be negotiated by a man of particularly resilient and almost saintly character. I don’t have that in me, I ain’t no saint. So I won’t call myself a feminist, though I will stand in solidarity with their struggle. Even when they are fighting against me, I’ll still be on their side.”

Study shows even cheaters’ guilt is SELFISH

Hi there,

I wanted to pass along a link to the post Study shows even cheaters’ guilt is selfish by Naked Love bloggers Em and Lo.

In today’s tough dating world, even cheating is the ultimate selfish act! Study showed men felt guiltier after sexual infidelity, and women after emotional infidelity. Why should the guilt associated with cheating be empathetic in any way?

Take a look at it and feel free to share it with your readers. Looking forward to your thoughts and let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

P.S. Sunfiltered blog is the latest addition to the Sundance family that recently won three Webby awards. It’s film, art, music, love, design and more – filtered through that space between the underground and the mainstream.

Best,

I was traveling yesterday, so I’m pretending it is still Sunday! This week, at Vegifem, I wrote a post about Carol Adam’s vegan feminist position.

I reminisced about 1960s menstruation and an encounter with a former Australian Prime Minister:

I am back after a hiatus for a conference. I wrote about the alarming cesarean rate in my area.
