Samhita over at Feministing recently compiled a Tuesday Ten list of "feminist friendly male bloggers":

I have been thinking about highlighting men that do feminist work in their blogging (sort of in the vain [sic] of Twanna's Manly Monday, but different trajectory). Many of these men, I don't know personally, so I will not say they are feminists, however, in much of their writing I have found they support many of my ideals.

Okay, so, David and I don't blog much these days (see From the Editors), but I still read a ton of other people's writing. (Google Reader, you're my lifesaver!) Let's get this straight... Feministing is probably one of the best feminist blogs out there, I read it all the time. So I'm still recovering from the fact that two Asian American male bloggers, whom I've met, are on a list from one of my favorite feminist blogs. Talk about serious intersectionality.

As for my initial reaction to Kai and Phil Yu being on the list: I definitely can see how Kai would be listed as feminist-friendly (he's a sweetheart); but Phil Yu? I always thought that Angry Asian Man was pretty silent on women's issues (if this isn't the case, correct me... I'm not up to date on AAM). So what exactly does this mean? Does non-sexist blogging equate to feminist-friendly blogging? I'm hoping that this isn't the case... please discuss.

Edit: So I see that Phil Yu wrote an entry defending Sandra Oh in response to SandraOhIsUgly.com; still... feminist friendly? Hard to tell.

As discussions and actions are being taken around absence and issue of ROTC, we'd like to ask:

Is ROTC valuable on this campus? In what way?

How might ROTC impact people of color and queer people on this campus in the event of its return?

Please let us know your thoughts in the comments!

Bwog, on a NSOP art event:

Tuesday: "After Hours At The Met," a private party and viewing of three galleries - Egyptian Art, Roman and Greek Art, and Art of Africa, Oceania, and the Americas. Budding activists looking to get a head start will no doubt protest the lack of Asian Art.

We had some beef with them earlier for misrepresenting some of our advertising (Asha), so this will be brief. While we Blaaagers may respect criticism of "activism" (what a static term, some might think) as sometimes critics ourselves, we don't respect people who deal in it before understanding the issues to begin with. Fair representation at the Met? Who cares? A funnier joke could have involved an issue "activists" actually give a shit about.

Actually, budding activists probably will not... those galleries aren't completely saturated with "white" art.

Take a look at this video, in which Jon Stewart on The Daily Show tackles several key controversies relevant to media and racism, and reminds us once again how critical thought can redeem the news in our society.

Completely gratuitous. This entry is actually for me, on a rainy day, when I'll be in serious need of some attractive Asian American males thrown together in one entry. So shoot me.

I don't even want to think of all the copyright laws I just violated here.

Way overdue. The ever-entertaining, ever-controversial guys (and guest-girl! Jenn Fang) up at Fallout Central decided some time this summer to end their crazy endeavor to give us our fill of APA news via podcast. Anyway, we're not too worked up over it, because William Lee kindly informed us of one of his new projects, which John Kwak and Albert Lim (formerly of Fallout Central) are helping him with. Umm, let's just say that you'll have to prep yourself for this new thing that they're doing.
