Wither patriarchy & anti-feminism? I have just read two very different articles; “Real Masculinity Terrifies the System” positing “There is a war on men" and "What is ‘Toxic Femininity’?” arguing society will crumble with the “shift female dominance.” Are we really back in the 1990s? #medievalsky

My gift to all my friends, cat-lovers or not, going back to their offices and classrooms. A feline survival guide for the neo-liberal university. Plus it is clever and light-hearted and will elicit a smile on this Labour Day weekend. Stay safe out there. #medievalsky

Hey #medivalsky friends. Thinking of going to Leeds next year if there is a panel I can squeeze into. Sexes, genders, sexualities esp masculinities. Also have a 12th century hagiography project. Please let me if you think there might be a fit.

Opened a mystery box and found this! A medievalist’s lifetime in one volume. So happy to see this between covers. Thanks to everyone involved. #medievalsky

My contribution to providing an historical context to conclaves beyond a vague “ancient tradition.” #medievalsky
