So: while I am writing a long and terminally unwieldy piece which aims to set forth a postmodern theory of pornography (yes, I am doing this, may God have mercy on us all), it seems like a reasonable time to be catching up on books in the ever-growing and slightly bullshitty field of Masculinity Studies.

… ha, ha, they’d be fat! Oh, and poor. They probably wouldn’t have very good record collections, either. You’d be all like, “the new Silver Jews record really isn’t very good,” and they’d be like, “I don’t care, because our cultures are very different, yet in the upcoming election American adults from all walks of […]
