Can a Male Feminist Lead? an essay by Dr. Jack Kahn
The intention of this piece was three-fold. First, it was to emphasize that our work as feminist/pro-feminist men is a part of our daily lives in addition to our political/activist-oriented work. Second, it was written to emphasize that our personal work is a work in progress, not ever a completed task. Last, it was written to emphasize the importance of being vulnerable and honest with yourself and with others as you continue to develop as a person and as a feminist. From January 2005.

Promoting Equal Access to "Feminine" Qualities by NOMAS-Boston
Arnold Schwarzenegger, Governor of California, recently and repeatedly used the term “girly-men” to demean members of the California legislature and critics of President Bush’s economic policy. The later speech was made before millions of viewers during the Republican National Convention. NOMAS–Boston sees these remarks as misogynistic and homophobic. While this term is from a parody of weightlifters on Saturday Night Live, it is not funny in this context. From September 2004.
