Boston-area Pervocrats! See below for an exciting but last-minute meetup!

Non-Boston-area Pervocrats, and Boston-area Pervocrats that already looked below!
Today instead of posting, I'm just going to link to something Ozymandias wrote, because it's pretty powerful.

Who Cares About Men's Rights?
I care because this is not about men, this is about my father and my boyfriend and my best friends and the guys whose books I've stolen and the guys whose hearts I've broken and the guy who broke mine and the greatest English teacher the world has ever known and my Greek professor and next year's roommates and Neil Gaiman and Gerard Way and Joey Ramone and Jim Butcher and half of the people I have ever loved or hated or feared or wanted to be.

Now it is time for the yelling.

Feminists? You know what you are, as a movement, right now? You are that's not my department says Wernher Von Brauhn. I mean, have we learned nothing from when we got black people in the movement, and poor people, and queer people, and trans people, and disabled people? The side of "well, we shouldn't help with that, it's not our thing really" has never, ever, ever, ever turned out to be the right side! You would think we would have caught on to the trend by now!


It's definitely worth reading the whole thing.
