An interesting new piece titled, ‘Raising boys during a “Crisis of Masculinity”: a feminist view’ has just been posted by a feminist, Glosswitch, on her blog:

The first paragraph sets the tone for the piece:
I’ll always remember the day my first son was born. “It’s a boy,” said the midwife. “Urgh, take it away,” said I. “I’m a feminist. I don’t do boys.” The fact is, like all card-carrying feminists, I’m contractually obliged not to give a shit about the welfare of non-women. As far as they’re concerned, I’m all out for revenge.
Unlike feminists, men who advocate for men’s and boys’ human rights also care about the welfare of the opposite sex. It’s one of the key differentiators between us. I invite you to post a comment in response to the piece – on Glosswitch’s website – as I shall be doing myself very shortly. Thank you.
