Hi, my name is Liz Plank and I am a journalist and executive producer and host of several critically acclaimed digital series at Vox Media which you can find here. I have been on many fancy lists like Mediaites Most Influential in News Media, Marie Claire's List of Most Powerful Women and was ranked as one of the world's most influential people in gender policy. My book For the Love of Men: A Vision for Mindful Masculinity is out now. I am a feminist who wants to talk about men. Oh, and 45 blocked me on social media and I've never been prouder. Let's do this, AMA!

This week on Guys We Fucked, CORINNE FISHER (@PhilanthropyGal) and KRYSTYNA HUTCHINSON (@KrystynaHutch) talk about a girl who committed suicide in Kenya after being bullied for not having menstrual products, roast a Fucker who is worried about her boyfriend not being able to fuck her while he undergoes chemotherapy, Corinne wants women to stop supporting things just because their boyfriends like them, and Krystyna gives us the facts she’s learned so far training to be a victim’s advocate at Bellevue. Then our dynamic duo sits down with writer, journalist, and gender theorist, LIZ PLANK (@feministabulous)! The ladies get into it with Liz about the toxicity of masculinity, the different types of trauma men and women experience, and Liz gets real about the violent bullying she received in high school from a boy who felt romantically rejected by her. Then Liz and Krystyna connect about their shared zodiac sign, Liz reveals why she’s mad at multiple ex-boyfriends, and confesses her feelings about Emily Ratajkowski’s Instagram!

Hey! This honestly wouldn't be the worst idea for some sort of recurring feature, but after reading "For the Love of Men" in preparation for the AMA the idea of just author a few questions days from now is NOT ENOUGH DISCOURSE. Like, I feel like an AMA is about that person and their unique experience/perspective*.* Asking questions about the process, what her thoughts are on various concepts, ect. My actual thoughts and feelings about the book? What that has to do with masculinity? That's something I'd much rather share and discuss with you guys, or at least discuss with you guys first. Especially considering that they're honestly kind of complicated, and I'm not necessarily interested in dumping a jumble of my half-baked responses and hot takes all over our guest.
Apparently in the long long ago there was another subreddit for MensLibRary, but it seems thoroughly dead, and it's not like this subreddit is like, overstuffed with new content as it is.
So yeah! If you've read the book, what do you think?
