Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 March 2020
Abstract
Defends “The New Men's Studies: From Feminist Theory to Gender Scholarship” (Hypatia 2:1, Winter 1987) against what is argued are Mary Libertin's misreadings. The argument for men's studies is logically independent of though related to the debate about essentialism in women's studies. Men's studies studies men in and as particular groups. Intellectual should not be equated with institutional autonomy. The feminist study of men should be supported by feminist scholars.

Notes
The short time I had to reply makes this more of a reaction than a considered response. On rereading it seems more defensive and combative than I find ideal. However, I can do no better at present. I prefer to let it stand rather than fail to respond.
