Nandakishore Mridula’s Reviews > How to Raise a Feminist Son: Motherhood, Masculinity, and the Making of My Family > Status Update

A pertinent and eloquent response to this question came from a
gentleman on Twitter, when I shared an essay about raising a
feminist son. “Raise a feminist son? Why didn’t you just cut his dick
off at birth?” his tweet said, blinking at me in rage.

...feminism will help my son be in a rational fellowship ...that means that he will be given permission to be wrong sometimes, to fail, to fall, to cry, to be protected rather than always be protector,to be provided for rather than always be provider, to seek and receive wise counsel,t o be chastised as much as he is cheered, to be led to wild fun,to be held and to be held responsible,to get schooled and to get laid.
