Dads, Dudes and Doing It at the Brooklyn Museum June 20 @4pm
Sunday, May 24, 2009 at 09:19PM Is the relative explosion of Mr. Moms proof that things are finally changing or is it just a temporary sign of the dire economic times?
In a world that is finally waking up to women’s sexual fluidity, are men going to be left out in the cold? And, why are some women still attracted to assholes, in reality, if they claim to be so interested in sensitive men, in theory?
When are more men going to care about work/family balance? And what the heck is the role of men in the feminist movement, anyway?
These are just some of the questions that your WomenGirlsLadies team will tackle in this provocative discussion at the Brooklyn Museum right in time for Father’s Day. Representing the perspectives of four unique generations, we’ll wrestle with women’s ever-evolving relationship with the men in their lives—fathers, partners, and sons—and the men out in the world—from Rush Limbaugh to Barack Obama.
Come and join the long overdue conversation, with special guests Susan Faludi, Jessica Valenti, and Trey Ellis among others. The event is FREE but bring your voice!
We're thrilled that the event is co-sponsored by the Women’s Media Center, 85 Broads, and the National Council for Research on Women too, and that Elizabeth Sackler will be making opening remarks.
