XY Men Masculinities and Politics

It has taken me a long time to find this site: I dont know why! Below are some intro quotes from the site. Get on there and have a look around and join in. I will cetainly be exploring and engaging with this fantastic space.

"XY is a website focused on men, masculinities, and gender politics. XY is a space for the exploration of issues of gender and sexuality, the daily issues of men’s and women’s lives, and practical discussion of personal and social change.
XY is:
A forum for debate and discussion, including commentary on contemporary and emerging issues in gender and sexual politics;
A resource library or clearinghouse for key reports, manuals, and articles;
A toolkit for activism, personal transformation and social change. "

"XY is intended therefore to encourage men to involve themselves in personal and social change towards gender equality. It inspires men to develop respectful, trusting, and egalitarian relations with women, to promote equitable and liberatory ways of living and being, and to join with women in projects of gender equality and social justice.
XY is guided by two further principles: a commitment to enhancing men’s lives, and a recognition of diversities among men."
