FANTASTIC answer.
Wow, really? Did you ever happen to read the one about Pholomila and Procne?
FYI: Just because something has the traits of what is commonly held by popular western culture as `masculine` doesn`t mean that it is anti-femminist and pro-male. I`m a woman, and my three greatest loves are fighting, comics and hockey. Does that make me any less of a woman? No. I favor Jack London over the Bronte sisters, but I`m still a feminist. All that I mean by that is that I don`t want to see women raped or beaten. To me, that`s feminism. I also don`t want to see any more people claiming that `men are genetically superior to women.`If you agree with me, then you`re a feminist too.
As for the theory on what `masculinist`should mean, I`d have to go ahead and say that this would include debunking any pre-concieved social notions of what a man SHOULD be. In this regard, gay-lit is technically masculinist-lit. Also, men ARE abused by women. They call it `nagging.`Many western women treat men like slaves. I see it all the time. Any literature that argues against such behavior while at the same time not putting down women in general could be considered masculinist-lit.
