Bad Subjects Issue 38: "Men, Women, and Everyone Else"
http://eserver.org/bs/38/default.html
"Unlike most leftist magazines, Bad Subjects has always considered the women's and gay rights movements as major historical influences on our political and cultural criticism. . . . Not surprisingly, then, a Bad Subjects issue devoted to gender can hardly toe the party line. Here you will find no weepy confessions about victimization; no calls for pseudo-nationalist sexual identity politics; and no strident denunciations of straight males."
