Last night the Digital Sisterhood Network’s Feminism Online Project was “rocked” by Shayne Lee, an African American male feminist, sociologist, Tulane University professor, and author of Erotic Revolutionaries: Black Women, Sexuality and Popular Culture. Shayne dropped so much science on why he proudly claims the title “The Prince of 3rd Wave Feminism.” He discussed his infatuation with third wave feminism including his passion for reading Feministing.com, Rebecca Walker‘s To Be Real, and Jessica Valenti’s books. He also provided commentary on what it means to be “feminist chic,” Black female sexuality, hip hop and feminism, Byron Hurt‘s article “Why I am a Male Feminist” on TheRoot.com, Latoya Peterson’s post “On Being Feminism’s Ms. Nigga” on Racialicious.com, the impact of social media and the Internet on feminism, the power of social media in his teaching, and his current book project. Shayne announced he would be joining Twitter some time in 2011! That was a first!
FYI – Shayne uses Facebook. So check him out!
