Mangas and animes, with their various examples of gender-bending friendliness (and awful stereotypes), can sometimes be your best resort in a book or dvd store.

Of Penal Code 377, Lesbian Sex and Patriarchy

Or the fact that as a society, we are more comfortable with the idea of men holding guns than holding hands. To the list, I want to add: the fact that our society’s patriarchal, [...]

Beyonce’s Single Ladies
Posted on 04 June 2009
R&B music usually falls outside my radar. Still, I am a bit familiar with “Single Ladies”, a video by Beyonce. Or rather, its effect of making certain famous lads don leotards and high heels to gyrate for the camera.
