my continuing post from the NOW conference in Flordia

Last nite was his-herstoric with the passing of the gay/equal marriage bill in the New York legislature. Boo Yah for NY. Had a great dinner and conversation with my roomie Gordon. He is national board member from Minnesota. Could not ask for a better roommate.

This AM` went to an intersting workshop on men and their part in the feminist movement, identifying as feminists, and how it impacts our lives and relationships.

4 good speakers brought their experiences and knowledge to the topic. Took notes on a few books I want to check into and also picked up a possible contact in North Dakota.  I would though respectfully disagree with the term, "male feminist" I am a feminist and it has llittle or nothing to do with my penis. My feminism is in my heart and soul, not my pants..

This afternoon is a political plenary. Several amazing women running for office. late afternoon workshop and tonite the traditional NOW dance and party.

I learned at the social media workshop to cross post more things, so I am cutting & pasting this blog post to the note section on my FB page, and will also mention both on the Ipwa NOW and QC NOW FB pages.

in unity
