Today being the day our monthly “Man Files” column posts and all, I thought I’d share this round-up of links on, well, MEN. Or rather, men and masculinity. From a feminist perspective. Definitely check out:
Our very own Shira Tarrant’s “Guy Trouble” in the current issue of BITCH in which she asks are young men really in crisis or are these boys just done being boys?
Rebecca Traister of Salon and Emily Bazelon of Slate discuss the recession’s effect on gender and housework in a New York Times bloggingheads video called “Unemployed Husbands”
And Tony Dokoupil has a piece in this week’s Newsweek titled “Men Will Be Men” in which he blows by some of the more progressive changes in masculine behavior and concludes that men continue to define masculinity in market terms.
