I have a question for serious feminists. Actually two questions.

I am participating in a facebook discussion (I know - ugh) about a post on a website.

In fact I reposted the article here on DU - https://www.democraticunderground.com/1018962759.

The website is called "The Art of Manliness" and it appears to be a general interest, men's popular magazine type of thing.

A person on FB contends the site is sexist mainly by virtue of its name (and I too had a moment of "uh oh" when I saw the name of the source). Nobody has presented any real evidence of any overt sexism in any of the articles, though it is clearly aimed at heterosexual men - certainly no MRA type of crap. The person made the point that most would probably discount any content coming from a website called "The Art of Whiteness" so why do we have a problem believing "The Art of Manliness" isn't sexist?

That actually made me check my reactions a little. I am wondering what you all (whoever is left?) think about that and if you want to take some time to look around let me know if you find anything blatantly sexist there.

Is the name of the site an indication of sexism and what are the implications for this in terms of specialty media for various demographic groups - in other words the simple question sounds like typical majority whining - if they can have a special website/platform why can't we? (reminds me of the formation of the men's group here) But really is there anything wrong with media aimed at the group most in "power?"

Can anybody locate truly blatant sexism on that site? There was an article given as an example - on parallel parking. Of course I can't find it now but the set-up was a guy taking a woman on a date and driving to the theater and only finding a space that needed that skill. Yeah it was not any kind of example of diversity or feminism by a long shot, but a man driving on a date with a woman isn't inherently a negative. It didn't present the woman as helpless or useless it was just a heterocentric example used for the intended audience. At least that was my take.
