Note: After the next few paragraphs, this article contains shirtless people of assorted genders and one fully naked person. If you do not want to see shirtless people of a particular gender or in general, or you are in a working or other environment in which such things would be inappropriate, I advise you go here and look [...]
Why Women Should Be Allowed To Take Their Shirts Off In Public
June 27, 2012 By 94 Comments
Trigger warning for mentions of rape, and NSFW warning for pictures of shirtless people. Occasionally, I ask people to explain things. My latest project has been asking people to explain why women can’t take their shirts off in public. Barring circular answers (“it’s obscene!” “it’s just not appropriate”) and irrelevancies (“hubba hubba”), the answers have [...]
Today in Ozy Gets Outraged About Things A Month After Everyone Else
June 12, 2012 By 14 Comments
Check out this shit. The Department of Health and Human Services lists evidence-based teen-pregnancy prevention programs. Good for them! I approve of it. (Of course, the best teen-pregnancy prevention program is ending poverty, but that’s neither here nor there.) Much to the grave displeasure of everyone with a thinking brain on the planet, the updated [...]

The Beauty Myth And The Success Myth: Ozy’s Law In Action
November 28, 2011 By 73 Comments
Over Thanksgiving weekend, I was talking with my brother, and we were bemoaning something I’ve bemoaned with other men on many occasions: the bloody impossibility of convincing the women we love that they’re beautiful. Those with a woman that they love know how it is: she’ll get it into her head that her weight or [...]

Trigger warning for a Photoshopped picture of a rape. There is a subset of the female gaze that causes much kerfluffle amongst a lot of guys, and it tends to occur in an incredibly predictable pattern. Now, for purposes of this post, we will be assuming that female desire for men is not a myth [...]

Big Fellas And Fashion
November 18, 2011 By 45 Comments
Courtesy of ocelot in the open thread, check out this article in New York Magazine about the nonexistence of plus-size male models in fashion. Note phrasing: not dearth, not paucity, not lack of exposure, nonexistence. (As with so much else in life, don’t read the comments on that article. They are dismaying.) I think we [...]
Open Thread: Virginity and Men
November 13, 2011 By 317 Comments
A friend of mine and I were talking about men’s views of virginity, and she was like “gosh, well, it’s not like you have a masculism blog where you can discuss this topic and gather a variety of opinions from actual men” and I was like “Oh, right.” My scattered thoughts on male virginity: I think [...]
Halloween: Dan Savage Has Points, Misses Points
October 31, 2011 By 23 Comments
So I read Dan Savage’s article on Halloween, and I’ve been ruminating on it, particularly in light of my previous criticism of “sexy” Halloween costumes. The short version of Dan’s piece is that we should embrace sexy costumes, because Halloween is a great holiday for people to celebrate and have fun with their sexuality, and [...]
