Act Like a Man Reading List

By Edward Keenan May 7, 2008 4 Comments

Consider this the start of a blogroll with benefits — I’ll update it periodically and your own additions, objections and suggestions in the comments section give it a whole Web 2.0 interactivity thing that’s been missing from so many inaccessible blog sidebars. Cause as you can see, this blog ain’t got no sidebar.

ESQUIRE Still the best men’s magazine in North America.

MAXIM It used to be offensive and stupid and hilarious. Still going strong with the first two, not so much with the last one, unfortunately.

SHARP Canada’s best worst only men’s magazine. Sigh.

ALL MEN ARE LIARS Australian bloke Sam De Brito on the men down under.

ART OF MANLINESS If you wish this blog was more the how-to guide the imperative title implies it might be, you might like this.

HOW TO BE A MAN Further instructions.

BROADSHEET Salon’s women’s blog pours funny all over its outrage.

XX FACTOR Slate’s women’s blog: less with the ha-ha, more with the blah-blah.

JEZEBEL Gawker media’s chick thing.

CAMILLE PAGLIA Briliant, outrageous, blunt. Still.

MALCOLM GLADWELL Good reporting + better storytelling + amazing connections + wild hair = more please.

ANDREW SULLIVAN Just your average conservative, Catholic, Obama-loving, HIV+, gay blogging machine.

More links as I encounter them (or as they occur to me)

Fear not, Ed, Sharp won’t be Canada’s only men’s mag for long:

“Toro to relaunch as online mag”

I remain fearful. I will wait until I see this new 100%-less-paper Toro.
sigh

Camille women-naturally-can’t-rock-cause-their-vaginas-are-in the-way Paglia?

I suppose I should hate her more for her outright dismissal of female mental faculties and her blame the victim rape analyis, but it’s the idea that a whole gender is too subhuman to make decent music that gets me the most.

That’s the Camille. Blame-the-victim rape analysis? That was certainly the coffe-shop take on her theory among people who’d never read her when I was in university. It’s interesting to note, maybe, that what she blames the victims for is not recognizing that men are inherently aggressive sexual predators who can be counted on to take what they want in the abscence of overwhelming socialization to prevent it. She’s an equal opportunity offender there, if you want to form your opinions from headline digests of long, detailed, heavily endnoted arguments. Also, incidentally, fascinating reading that makes both people who agree with her and those who disagree engage with the core of their own beliefs and arguments. Which I’d take over someone I can blandly and automatically agree with every single day of the week.
