Sometimes an article is written that just begs to be read, that is so clear-headed you wonder how the world got this muddled on the topic in the first place. This is one of those articles.

Keep your eye on the ball

Cross-posted at Hoyden About Town. Negative stereotypes about feminists abound in the media. And in response, several times a year another article written by a feminist comes out worrying about the damage done by the deliberate misrepresentation of feminism. I worry too. Women won’t want to be feminists, let alone understand the cause, if the [...]

Today Cormac turned 10 months old and took his first steps. I wasn’t there but his father was, and I was (fairly) pleased for them both. I took these photos later that same day in our garden, in between showers of rain. Behold the walking baby (I am not yet prepared to call him a [...]

When Andrea J. Buchanan wrote this piece she was the mother of a little girl and was also pregnant with a boy. She began to hear a lot of stereotypes from others about how boys love their mothers differently to girls, presumably better than girls. She started to consider this stereotype further… .. our relationships [...]
On fatherhood

Sometimes when the baby was very little and I had asked his father to take him for a while I would find them outside, his father sitting in a chair with legs out-stretched to the railing of the deck, casually using the stick of a hobby horse to nudge toys along the rug to where [...]
