SocImages News:
Lisa appeared on the pop culture podcast Sounds Familiar to talk about the role of women in horror flicks. Are slasher flicks feminist? Well, kinda they are!
She also served as the guest expert on KPCC’s AirTalk for a conversation on the grandfather who was kicked out of a Barnes & Noble children’s book section for being a single male. She called it “gender profiling” (listen).
The folks from Office Hours, one of our sibling blogs at The Society Pages, posted a podcast with Lisa and Gwen discussing Sociological Images and public sociology more generally.
The Guardian reposted part of Matt Cornell’s SocImages post on his “man boobs” and Playboy Radio had him on for an “awkward” Q&A.

We wanted to give a shout out to the anonymous fan who added this sticky note to the paperwork for a book Lisa ordered on interlibrary loan. You made our day! :)

I think the gender profiling has to do with rape culture. If popular culture portrays men as wanting sex (only/mostly) and unable to control themselves, it makes all men always suspicious of wanting sex (and all women careless for dressing certain ways, going certain places, or acting certain ways).
