I get all warm and tingly inside when I see men in the mainstream media tackle feminist issues. While Nicholas D. Kristof from the New York Times is typically my favorite example of this - Andrew Sullivan from The Atlantic has stepped it up lately with a series of posts that well, actually make me feel like feminist issues are becoming a priority in the eyes of decisions makers and major media outlets. For example, in the days following the murder of Dr. George Tiller, Sullivan posted mail from readers who had late-term abortions. This is the type of consciousness raising that is incredibly important in the fight for choice and equality.

Additionally, Sullivan posted these pieces that keep the female perspective top of mind - and for that, I am grateful:
