So I had this terrific post on male feminism all ready to go, and I deleted it just before publishing it to the weblog. Utterly maddening. I don't have the energy to repost it.
What I did, and will do again -- later -- was break down for everyone the four main groups with the contemporary American men's movement:
1. Pro-feminists and the radical men's movement
2. Men's Rights Advocates
3. The Mytho-poetic movement
4. The Christian men's movement
I had little pithy summaries all written out, with commentary on the strengths and weaknesses of each. Sigh. All gone. It will come again, in the next few days -- I promise!
But now, I'm off for a run in the hills above Altadena and the Jet Propulsion Labratory. I will soothe my own irritation at both Typepad and my technological incompetence.
I don't have the money, sadly enough, to find time to volunteer my programming talents to Mozilla, or any of the other open source web browser projects, but I've done something similar to you, many times, and lost work by pressing the wrong button. When, I wonder, will Microsoft and Netscape and Apple realize that some people are writing some important stuff using web browsers?Microsoft Word does a fairly good job of protecting your work, but none of the web browsers make any such effort when you use them to write a message. If I had time I'd volunteer with Mozilla and make it more like Word. The loss of work can be heartbreaking. The best love letter I ever wrote vanished without a trace when I accidently hit the escape key - and like you, I didn't have the energy to rewrite it, so I ended up simply sending a brief summary to the woman. Tragic.
