Welcome!

This is the future home of Fish Bikes Wanted, a feminist blog focusing on men and the issues that men face in a world basically defined by creepy and unfortunate gender roles. We're going to look at how the patriarchy screws over all of us--and how applying feminist theories of deconstructing gender roles can help figure out how to get out of this particular mess. We'll also laugh at bad movies.

The name of the blog comes from a quote often attributed to Gloria Steinem, but actually from Irina Dunn: "A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle." As a heterosexual woman, I have to say--I may not need a man, but I sure do enjoy wanting them sometimes.

Shortly: content, what we're doing here, why we're here, and the way commercials make men look stupid. What's up with that?
