hits the nail on the head.
a male womens studies teacher on "man bashing" and other defense mechanisms used to defuse women's legitimate anger:
Part of being a pro-feminist man, I've come to realize in recent years, is being willing to face the real anger of real women. Far too many men spend a great deal of time trying to talk women out of their anger, or by creating social pressures that remind women of the consequences of expressing that anger. Many men, frankly, are profoundly frightened by women who will directly challenge them. In a classroom, they don't really fear being struck or hit. But by comparing a verbal attack on their own sexist attitudes towards physical violence, they hope to defuse the verbal expression of very real female pain and frustration. I know that it's hard to be a young man in a feminist setting for the first time, and I know, (oh, how I know) how difficult it is to sit and listen to someone challenge you on your most basic beliefs about your identity, your sexuality, your behavior, and your beliefs about gender. It's difficult to take the risk to speak up and push back a bit, and it's scary to realize just how infuriating your views really are to other people, especially women.
The first task of the pro-feminist male in this situation is to accept the reality and the legitimacy of the frustration and disappointment and anger that so many women have with men, and to accept it without making light of it or trying to defuse it or trying to soothe it. Pro-feminist men must work to confront their own fears about being the target of those feelings. Above all, we cannot ever compare -- even in jest -- verbal expressions of strong emotion to actual physical violence or man-bashing.
here's a link to the rest of the article- definitely worth a full read.

I'm not sure what to say about this
Rabbis from the religious Zionist community have launched an initiative to marry gay men to lesbian women - with some surprising successes.Israeli rabbis launch initiative to marry gay men to lesbian women
So far, 11 marriages have been performed. Haaretz conducted an email interview with one such couple, Etti and Roni (not their real names ).
Etti and Roni, both religious, were married five years ago. Though they were honest with each other about their sexual orientations from their first meeting, to the outside world, they portray themselves as a normal heterosexual couple. Today, they have two children, and are thrilled with the results.

Fuck Yeah Menswear
Nature vs. nurture?
It’s tough to say.
When you’re DNA is this fucking crispy.
And as a young’n you kicked it in Pari.
Your kid probably geeks out over trivial shit.
Like butterflies.
Or clouds.
Or glitter.
My kid gets wide eyed.
When we discuss the merits of white jeans in winter.
Monochromatic palettes.
And well worn DB’s in exclusive colorways.
We took him out of school 2 years ago.

this is not an onion article. i repeat, this is NOT an onion article.
though it is aol news...so i can't say i'm shocked.
check out this quality headline:
Lesbians Who Look Like Justin Bieber Refuse to Accept New Haircut
and an excerpt, for good measure:
Blog founder –- and fellow lesbian Bieber look-alike –- Dannielle Owens-Reid told AOL News that despite announcing Bieber's major hair development in a post last week, she's gotten zero photo submissions of lesbians sporting Bieber's new, more mature haircut.
This leads her to believe that lesbians who resemble the youthful, attractive singer -- or at least those "Biebians" who regularly visit her blog -- simply aren't ready to accept the change in his hairstyle. Instead, they seem to be ignoring it.
"I get submissions every single day. Since he cut his hair, that hasn't changed. But I'm still getting the same amount of pictures of girls with the swoopy Justin Bieber hair, not the new style. It's like everyone wants to ignore the new cut, just like everyone wants to ignore the fact that he's dating Selena Gomez. It's one of those 'say it ain't so' moments," Owens-Reid said.
internet journalism at its finest, ladies and gentlemen.
