Music

Love Guns, Tight Pants, and Big Sticks

Who Put the Cock in Rock?
Article by Juliana Tringali, Illustrated by Nicholas Brawley, appeared in issue Masculinity; published in 2005; filed under Music; tagged beauty standards, groupies, hair bands, heavy metal, masculinity, misogyny, rock, Rolling Stone, women in rock.

cock rock: To some, the term conjures up images of rock gods in white jumpsuits, long hair haloed by a rainbow of lights, fans waving their Bics in unison as an immaculate guitar solo screams out from a tower of amps. To others, it evokes backstage legends of drugs and debauchery, the triumph of malecentric hedonism over social conscience, the unapologetic celebration of sleaze. To still others, it’s shorthand for memorable riffs with a backbeat that makes you want to throw some devil horns and bang your head.

Bite Me! (Or Don't)

Stephenie Meyer’s vampire-infested Twilight series has created a new YA genre: abstinence porn
Bite Me! (Or Don't)
Article by Christine Seifert, published in 2008; filed under Books; tagged abstinence, fan fiction, objectification, porn, sex, Stephenie Meyer, Twilight, vampires, YA fiction.

Abstinence has never been sexier than it is in Stephenie Meyer’s young adult four-book Twilight series. Fans are super hot for Edward, a century-old vampire in a 17-year-old body, who sweeps teenaged Bella, your average human girl, off her feet in a thrilling love story that spans more than 2,000 pages. Fans are enthralled by their tale, which begins when Edward becomes intoxicated by Bella’s sweet-smelling blood.

Interviews

{Sidebar}

The Women’s Room, Redux

An interview with Michelle Tea, Heather Corinna, Dani Eurynome, Danya Ruttenberg, Jennifer Wildflower, Emi Koyama by Lisa Jervis, appeared as a sidebar in the article 'Feminine Protection' in issue Risk; tagged: gender, Michigan Womyn's Festival, safe spaces, trans inclusion, transgender, transsexual, women-only spaces.

The topic of women-only space, who belongs in it, and what kinds of safety it makes possible is a hot one in feminist communities, provoking vigorous debates and protests, particularly with regard to the Michigan Womyn’s Music Festival and its controversial “womyn-born-womyn only” admissions policy. We asked a wide variety of folks—all with significant experience with different kinds of women-only space—to share their opinions on the value of women-only space, how to define it, and what kinds of risks it involves.

Five Years Ago

Five Conversations About One Thing - Jim McKay

An interview with Jim McKay by Amy Richards, Illustrated by Photo of Richards by Joanne Savio, appeared in issue Masculinity; published in 2005; filed under Film; tagged Amy Richards, documentary, fatherhood, Girls Town, Jim McKay, third wave.

Amy Richards met Jim McKay as he was getting ready to release his first film, Girls Town, in 1995. McKay was kind (and political) enough to offer his film to the Third Wave Foundation, which Richards cofounded, for a benefit screening. Though Third Wave has had dozens of events since then, none has come close to matching its success, in terms of sheer dollars raised in one sitting (over $20,000), the number of new donors and allies attracted to the organization’s work, and the unparalleled visibility that comes when you combine social justice and Hollywood.
