As regular Rib readers may know, one of my pet peeves is the all-too-persistent myth that “feminists hate men.”
I am sure some women do hate men, just as they also hate brussel sprouts or the color mauve or silly hats that look like doilies. This hate has nothing to do with feminism, because feminism has nothing to do with hating anyone and it never has.
One of the reasons I started my blog 2+ years ago was to crusade valiantly against such back-lashing myths. I’ve had a Men We Love category for a while, and if it doesn’t have tons of posts associated to it, it’s due more to my own lack of organization than a scarcity of love-worthy men.
So this month it’s all about the mens here at the Rib (or mostly, anyway). I’ll be posting on other topics, to be sure, but this month’s content will be guy-heavy. Call it my Valentine to Righteous Ribs of the male persuasion, my love letter to equality-loving stem-people everywhere. 1
Longtime readers and a certain person’s Fan Girls & Guys will be happy to know that this month the Rib will also feature sporadic guest posts from the #1 mens I love: the President, Commander In Chief, and King of the United States of Kevinsylvania, Kevin Potpie, who, by the way, admits freely to his conflicting feelings about the use of the plural in this month’s dedication.
