11 Citation When R was pregnant, my dad confided in me worries he had when my sister joined the family. He was scared to death of changing her diaper because she was a girl. Dad knew there was nothing wrong with changing his kids' diapers. He just felt uncomfortable with a girl.Although I understood what Dad was saying, I never thought I'd feel the same. "I'm a modern daddy," I thought. Feminism has set me straight in matters of gender roles and understanding body politics and such. I could handle a daughte, technorati.com

1 Citation For as long as I can remember, boys and men in my life have collected. Not only do we collect, but we like to discuss our collections. We give counts and data, discuss processing techniques, and always highlight our prized possessions. I'm sure many women have a similar need to accumulate stuff, but men take it to another pathetic level.As a kid, we collected things like action figures or baseball cards. Eventually, we moved to stereo equipment or cars. Sometimes, we even collected sexual escapa, technorati.com

Gendered Parenthood On Mother?s Day 1 Citation It?s Mother?s Day today. A tribute to mothers, and a monument to gendered parenting. Which is not to say I?m against Mother?s Day, per se, and I?m certainly not against mothers. But still, I?ll take a few moments to reflect on how very deeply gendered parenting is. Two separate days, separated by several weeks, are marked out for male parents and for female parents. Today is the day we celebrate female parents. They might be single mothers, or lesbian mothers, or conventional-no-modifie, technorati.com

1 Citation Part of the reason I invested the time in writing yesterday?s post , which was rather less connected to my topic than might be usual, was to set up today?s post. And now I find I can also tie it to the Modern Love column in today?s New York Times. It?s a lovely column by Jennifer Finney Boylan about her experience of being Maddy. (Or is it being a Maddy?) Boylan is transgendered. She began as her children?s father but, during the course of their childhood, transitioned to female. It, technorati.com

Gay Fathers/Lesbian Mothers, II 1 Citation I want to develop yesterday?s post a bit further here. You can read that to get up to speed. My basic point is that while gay fathers and lesbian mothers have much in common?for example, both are targeted by anti-gay/lesbian organizations for failing to provide male and female gender role models?there are also significant differences between them. I think I began to jumble some of the differences in the last post. That isn?t helpful so let me slow down and try to sort things out a bit mo, technorati.com

1 Citation Alvin Ho: Allergic to Girls, School, and Other Scary Things , by Lenore Look, was one of the finalists for last year's Cybils Awards in the category of Middle-Grade Fiction. Its strengths are humor, lively brush illustrations by LeUyen Pham, an unusually broad picture of the American population, and a good sense of life for an imaginative and scared-to-death second-grader. Yes, Alvin's in second grade, though the book is written for kids up to age 10--i.e., significantly older than the prota, technorati.com

1 Citation Welcome to the last day of Winston Breen's Puzzle Party, observing the publication of Eric Berlin's The Potato Chip Puzzles ! The first mystery to address is whether I'll be so cruel as to make visitors read (or at least scroll) all the way down to the end of this posting to find the link for the final puzzle challenge. And that answer's easy. Of course I will. Here's my interview with Eric Berlin about creating puzzles, creating stories, and creating the Puzzling World of Winston Breen (, technorati.com

1 Citation Of all the things on this journey that I didn?t expect, it has been the depth of sheer anger and rage I have at a man who has been dead nearly 20 years. I am a natural redhead and have borne jokes through the years about my supposed anger. The truth is that I?m really in pretty good control of my temper and it takes a lot to get me fired up. Some of the things that fire me up are (listed in no particular order): racism, injustice, harm to a child, and not protecting someone who?s incapable o, technorati.com
