See here for previous lists. Mine. The way you have started doing this freak-out panic shit whenever I move around the house to get stuff done. Just like your sister, what is with you two? When have I ever abandoned you? The shit hole you have turned our house into. Granted, it’s not entirely your [...]

Straight men as friends for gay men
Posted in bill, GLBTI on July 21, 2011 | 3 Comments »
Not so long ago Bill and I caught up with a good friend of ours. He has moved to another city with his boyfriend and we don’t see one another all that much anymore. I knew he has been experiencing some depression and so a little way into the meal I drifted off to do [...]

Guest post: The writer of Mamafesto (with the superb by-line of “where motherhood and feminism collide”) is also on the editorial board of Gender Across Borders. She thinks, she writes, she raises a little boy. And this is her fantastic response to my 10 Questions About Your Feminist Parenthood. I particularly liked the way she [...]
On Lauca, aged six and 4 months

Lauca says she won’t have a shower unless her father drags her there. Bill agrees. So Lauca lies down on the floor and Bill picks up her ankles and drags her, like a dead body, down the hall. Cormac isn’t about to let a ride go wasted so he scrambles on top of the dead [...]

I have just finished reading Rocks in the Belly by Jon Bauer and I really liked it. The book is about a young man who hates his mother, or maybe he is just scared that she hates him. Anyway, he had a childhood filled with jealousy and the pain of being ignored. He is now [...]

Image credit. I went to a fundraiser show/party last night to help send Briefs – an award-winning “circus, spectacle, absurdity, gender bending boylesque show” – over to Edinburgh next month. They’re brilliantly clever and all-round sweethearts of men (who were very welcoming to the handful of children* in the audience, so, eat your heart out [...]
Is long-term monogamy one of the kinkiest things you ever tried?

Margot Magowan knows how to kick off a conversation.. Some mommy blogs are upset that in Erica Jong’s Op-Ed in Sunday’s New York Times, she suggests women may have lost interest in sex, choosing kids and monogamy over lust and romance. Moms who have babies and young kids blog in response– they don’t have to [...]

From “How to Model Healthy Sexuality For Our Daughters” by Meika Loe in Ms. Magazine: What is your relationship with your daughter like?
