“Go Live as a Man for One Week.”
Nancy Bauer wrote a piece for the New York Times Opinionator section this week called “Lady Power,” in which she argues that the state of feminism today is embodied by Lady Gaga.
The comments were more interesting than the piece itself, and touched on artifice, morality and hook up culture. One in particular by a Transgender man (he was born a woman and became a man) really got me thinking about the difference between men’s and women’s experiences in our society.
This is his comment:
“As a Transgender man I have one recommendation to every woman who believes she is somehow ‘empowering’ herself by getting on her knees to service a man: Go live as a man for one week. See how radically different it feels to really be respected and empowered in this society.
