BROWN: Feminism is for everyone

As a man, I don’t have to worry about being labeled as cold or bitchy for being motivated and pursuing my goals. I don’t have to worry about being labeled a slut if I sleep around.

Although there appear to be thousands of perfectly willing volunteers that will offer their lives on Earth for the chance to possibly live and die on Mars, this does not mean it is the right thing to do to send them there.

Conditions of possibility

When we were elected a year ago to The Cavalier Daily’s managing board — the five-person team that runs the paper — we found ourselves faced with two, maybe three, questions.
