Trac Changes: On Coverflipping, Misogyny, and, Oh Yeah—How You and I Are Part of the Problem
An interesting interpretation of the “coverflipping” thing that I agree with, and which is written with more intelligence and self-awareness than I could ever contribute.
“…how about teaching our boys that there’s no shame in female or feminine things?”
EXACTLY.

I particularly loved this line: “binary thinking and stereotyped assumptions about what is masculine and what is feminine.” She hit the nail on the head with that. Boys have asked me, “Is this a girl book?” As if they couldn’t possibly be interested. (And this about Divergent.) They use the same tone reserved for “chick flick.” I don’t think the words, “Is this a boy book?” have ever crossed my lips. Why can’t a book just be “a book” and a movie “a movie”?
I appreciated the fact that some of my male coworkers went to the theater to see the adaptation of a Jane Austen book. They admitted that they enjoyed it. (Yes, their wives suggested the film. But they didn’t whine about it.)
