“Why I Am A Feminist Man” Published by The Scavenger

I have been away from any really substantive blogging, or work on my other writing projects, since my grandmother died because I’ve been busy catching up on everything that accumulated on my desk, work-related and otherwise, while I was dealing with her death. I had hoped to start doing some writing this past weekend, but we found out on Friday that the administration at the college where I teach fired all 66 full-time faculty on temporary lines, which is the equivalent of almost 10% of full-timers. Nine of those lines have since been restored, but, as you can imagine, the news was demoralizing in the extreme, and so it will take me till the end of this week–tomorrow, actually–to finish with my grading and all, and I will be able to get back to my own writing next week. Meanwhile, I am excited by the fact that the Australian online publication The Scavenger has chosen to republish my essay Why I Am a Feminist Man, which originally came out on The Takeback. (I also posted it here on Alas.)
