Share it: I’m considering running a series of posts on how we live womanist/feminist parenting; a sort of kaleidoscope primer on the day-to-day living of those of us who fight, oppose, undermine, and dismantle the kyriarchy (or at least try to!) that can help answer the questions “Sure, this all sounds good, but how do you DO [...] 11 July 2009 at 10:00 am | Category: Fathering, Kyriarchy, Meta, Parenting, Patriarchy | Tags: blogging, fathers, Womanist/Feminist Parenting Primer | 12 comments

Like this? Share it: I ran across this meme today, which is both funny and incredibly sad and telling about our society (spelling as in original, author unknown): With all the conflicting parenting advice out there, it’s difficult to know whether you’re a good parent or a bad parent.
