На русском:До и после гендера. Один из известных представителей направления, называемого "гендерными исследованиями" профессор антропологии и славистики, директор программ русских и евразийских исследований Принстонского университета Сергей Ушакин развивает проекты далеко за пределами этого направления. О сути этих проектов, причинах отхода от гендерной проблематики и ее состоянии с ученым побеседовала социолог, координатор проекта «Гендерная демократия» фонда имени Генриха Бёлля Ирина Костерина.
Что такое консерватизм. За всеми идеологическими изысками главное в консерватизме – это реакция на демократические изменения, на улучшение общественных условий жизни и труда людей. Все, что мы имеем – восьмичасовой рабочий день, пятидневная рабочая неделя, ежегодный отпуск, больничные и пенсионные выплаты, защита потребителя и охрана среды обитания, – достигнуто в борьбе с консервативной реакцией. Теперь, когда борьба вновь выплескивается на наши улицы, пора понять, что такое консерватизм.
Ретроактивная коммодификация женского тела. По ссылке много фотографий занятых своим делом женщин, между которыми не связанный с ними авторский текст рассказывает нам, какие в СССР женщины были неухоженные и толстые. и с небритыми ногами. Обратите внимание на использование "мы" и "нам". это мужское "мы" бесшовно идентифицируется с государством, которому женщины должны. детей -- много. ноги -- бритые. зубы -- красивые и не золотые.

Anne-Marie Slaughter, Why Women Still Can't Have it All - ключевая статья месяца: It’s time to stop fooling ourselves, says a woman who left a position of power: the women who have managed to be both mothers and top professionals are superhuman, rich, or self-employed. If we truly believe in equal opportunity for all women, here’s what has to change.

Trans Issues: скандал вокруг RadFem и дело CeCe McDonald
There's nothing radical about transphobia. A new UK conference for radical feminists, RadFem2012, is not only playing host to a well-known transphobe, but is actively excluding trans women from attending. The conference is open only to "women born women living as women".
Legalities of excluding trans women from women only spaces. After Laura's piece on the F-Word blog, commenters suggested that excluding trans women from women-only space is illegal. Unfortunately, the laws surrounding exclusion of trans* people from women only spaces are far from clear. Hidden away in Section 28* of Schedule 3 to the Act is a provision that gender reassignment discrimination is acceptable in the provision of single-sex services, "if the conduct in question is a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim."
Women born women? As a controversial conference restricts entry to 'women born women', Helen G analyses this phrase.

A feminist response to Michael Albert’s visions for the Occupy Movement. This post is a review of two free ebooks: “Occupy Theory” by Michael Albert and Mandisi Majavu (PDF), and “Occupy Vision” by Michael Albert and Mark Evans (PDF). As the names suggest, these books are being put forward as a potential unifying ideology for the Occupy movement, and for the anti-capitalist movement more generally.

Michigan state rep barred from debate for saucy language. Michigan state representative Lisa Brown has been censured during debate on an abortion bill, and barred from debate on an unrelated bill, after saying something so scandalous, so foul, so egregious it shouldn’t be spoken in mixed company: “I have not asked you to adopt and adhere to my religious beliefs. Why are you asking me to adopt yours? And finally, Mr. Speaker, I’m flattered that you’re all interested in my vagina, but ‘no’ means ‘no.’”
New feature: It's not feminism that hurts men. Jo T examines a recent article supporting claims that men are "the new second sex" and finds it to be a highly misleading piece that fails to consider the role of patriarchal structures in men's suffering and instead opts to blame feminism.
All hail the matriarchy, and a note to the dudebros. That men are more likely to drop out of school, more likely to be incarcerated, and more likely to be portrayed as a buffoon in a commercial for oven cleaner is actually a “neglected form of sexism” perpetrated by feminists, says David Benatar, head of philosophy at Cape Town University and author of The Second Sexism.

Essay: Do I Do It For You? Service Kink and Disability. I want to say as a first principle that almost every fic focusing on disability I’ve ever read can be understood as having some relation to service kink, whether that’s rolling around in the kink straight on (consciously or not), or subverting its usual presentation, or coming at it orthogonally from left field, or pointedly not engaging with it. Personally, I theorize this is because having a disability entails negotiating boundaries of rejecting and accepting service on a daily basis.

Leyendecker and the Arrow Collar Man. The Arrow Collar Man is a creation of J.C. Leyendecker, a German-American illustrator of magazine covers and advertisements in the 1900s-30s. Leyendecker worked on a variety of illustrations and ad campaigns, but his speciality was these hyper-masculine, square-jawed all-American guys who spent their days smoking, posing in a manly fashion, and playing sports."
How to Dress Your Man/Character: An Informal Tutorial. The most important thing to understand is that All Suits are Not Created Equal. It's not just about cost, it's about fit. You can spend a grand on a suit and if the pants billow when you walk or the shoulders are too tight or (oh my god) you can't fucking button it without looking like you're going to explode, you look terrible. By that same tenor, you can spend $500 on a suit and look like a million bucks. But first and foremost, you need to find the kind of suit that works for you.
The New Business Casual. Just because the workplace has gone casual doesn't mean you have to look like every other drone in the office—in shapeless pants and oversize dress shirts. Here's how to navigate the workday with style, authority, and yes, even comfort.
