    It is amidst this wider rape culture, and the ways feminists are fighting back, that SlutWalk not only emerged, but exploded as a global grassroots movement.

What is striking about SlutWalk was its ability, despite its feminist roots, to capture the mainstream media's attention.

    First Published: 2008
    The one clear memory I have of 1968 (as opposed to all those other antiwar and pro-civil rights struggles in which I was engaged in the 1960s and ‘70s) is that I was a member of a faculty ad-hoc group, mostly from UMass Amherst (but there was also someone who taught at Amherst college and his wife).

    On Nationalism, Ethnicity, and Non-Western Societies

    Resource Type: Book

  20. The Myth of Male Power
    Why Men Are the Disposable Sex

    Resource Type: Book
    First Published: 1993
    Farrell's blunt manner breaks through the sterotypical white middle-class conventions of victim-obsessed sentimentality that has paralyzed mainstream feminism. He forces us to see our everyday world from a fresh perspective. Farrell feels the political agenda of the feminist movement has been hijacked by a quarter century of "male bashing". He calls for an end to the blame game and a new stress on on personal responsibility, social maturity and self enlightenment. He is one of the voices urging a critique and reform of current feminism in order to strengthen it for the 21st century.

Mission Connexions exists to support individuals and groups working for freedom and social justice. We work to maintain and make available a record of the theory and practice of people struggling against oppression and for social change. We believe that the more we know about the struggles, victories, and defeats of the past, and about those who took part in them, the better equipped we will be to bring a new world into being. Connexions maintains a physical archive of books and documents, and is engaged in an ongoing project to build and expand an indexed digital archive of documents. We try to feature a wide variety of resources reflecting a diversity of viewpoints and approaches to social change within our overall mandate of support for democracy, civil liberties, freedom of expression, universal human rights, secularism, equality, economic justice, environmental responsibility, and the creation and preservation of community. We are internationalist in our orientation, but as a Canadian-based project we feature an especially extensive collection of Canadian documents and profiles of Canadian activist organizations.
