MANN Chat: An Activist by Any Other Name

I will host this week's MANN chat on
Wednesday night (7/30), starting at 9:30 PM Eastern Time, at the href="http://www.mensactivism.org/chat.shtml">usual location. 
The topic will be "An Activist by Any Other Name."  As activists,
we work in a world of words.  Therefore, we have to be careful
about the words we use to advance men's issues.  But what are the
right words?  If we use some words, we will alienate men--and
women--who could be allies.  On the other hand, if we try to be
too "nice" and please everyone, we'll drive ourselves mad.  Where
is a workable balance?  What are the words that "push people's
buttons"?  How can we use them, or avoid using them, to
communicate most effectively?  Join us to talk about the role of
language in men's activism.
