 Masculinity
& Morality by Larry May
What does it mean to be a morally responsible
man? Philosopher Larry May argues against standard accounts of
traditional male behavior. He challenges men to reassess and
change behavior that has had detrimental effects on the lives of
both women and men. Each chapter suggests strategies to effect
changes, which May hopes may be used to transform the
socialization of young men.
"In this set of essays on topics like
pornography, rape, sexual harassment, the Citadel, and paternity,
Larry May develops a distinct moral vision that rejects
traditional definitions of masculinity without requiring that we
cease to be men in order to act ethically. Bracing, fresh, and
insightful, these essays make it possible for men to be both
masculine and moral."--Michael Kimmel, author of Manhood in
America: A Cultural History "Larry May is a careful
philosopher who asks interesting and important questions about the
interpersonal and social responsibilities of men in a society of
continuing injustice to women. He makes precise distinctions and
good arguments in answering those questions. A first-rate
book."--Iris M. Young, author of Justice and the Politics of
Difference "People are too used to books about 'gender' being
about women. Larry May's book challenges men to think about why
issues like pornography, sexuality, rape, harassment, and all-male
institutions are their moral and social problems, too. May's
arguments for men's shared responsibility in these matters of
intense popular debate are always clear and often provocative.
They make discussion hard to resist. This book is an excellent
choice for courses in ethics or feminism."--Margaret Urban
Walker, Fordham University

It's easy to say what Butch and Femme are
NOT, more difficult to express what Butch and Femme are,
and damned near impossible to write a F.A.Q. about Butch-Femme
devoid of any generalities. On several different discussion lists,
even as a group, we have never been able to distinctly define any
of the above terms in a way that everyone agrees with. The
final thesis is always: Butch, Stone Butch, Femme, and Stonefemme
are natural gender expressions that are of the heart, having
little to do with appearance or any stereotypical code of
behavior.
This is an amazing, wonderful website!

Homophilos
is an online, moderated discussion group for men who wish to
explore creative, positive ways of being masculine and encourage
other men in their good efforts through friendship. This space is
open to men across a range of sexual orientations and
participating in a range of spiritualities and philosophies. This
space is a place to honor and celebrate men's bodies, men's
spirit, men's sexuality, and men's creatvity. One focus of this
list is the creation of strong friendships and the development of
intimacy-building tools which can be used to produce and
strengthen local friendship networks in the real world. One
project of this list will be to create a men's gathering (or
several) where friendly, masculine community can be practiced for
modeling in the real world. Because friendship and growth are key
to this list's purpose, honesty is gently encouraged and tolerance
is expected.

The profem mail list is an Internet mail list
with a focus on men, masculinities and gender relations. The
list's purpose is to:
 | Promote dialogue and networking among men and
women concerned with gender justice and the elimination of
sexism and gender inequalities. |
| Circulate information on new initiatives,
research and resources. |
| Encourage and support men's efforts at
positive personal and social change, and provide a
virtual community to men (and women) who may feel isolated in
their political efforts and/or their personal realisations and
struggles. |
This list is different from other men's e-mail
lists that already exist. These are often dominated by men's
rights and anti-feminist ideologies, and we wish to provide an
alternative. Both men and women are welcome to participate on this
list.
