A MESSAGE TO "ANARCHIST" MEN, AND THEN SOME
|
|
by Molly Tov
|
|
|
|
So they say a womyn's work is never done, and here I am writing an
|
|
article that a man should be writing, and I'm starting to believe it.
|
|
Wimmin have been looked over, talked over, pushed back, laughed at,
|
|
been shut up, used, abused, and raped all by our "brothers" self titled
|
|
anarchist men and proclaimed revolutionaries. All the anti-sexist men
|
|
quick to jump on someone else's sexist remark when around an anarchist
|
|
crowd, but will let it slide when around his not so "P.C." friends. The
|
|
men who vocalize their aggression against rapists, but when THEIR lovers
|
|
say no, coercion is simplke, and its not rape, because he's ANTI-SEXIST.
|
|
There are men who use anti-sexist talk to pick up wimmin. The men who
|
|
challenge others to call them on their shit and when someone does, on goes
|
|
the defense mode and he's appalled that someone could say HE was fucking
|
|
up, instead of actually thinking about the situation and to start working
|
|
on it.
|
|
We already know all men are sexist, just as all white people are
|
|
racist because of our society, white people still having privilege over
|
|
people of colour and men still have privilege over wimmin, and once born
|
|
into this process its incredibly hard to break it, especially when you
|
|
forget to look at yourself. Once men slap "REVOLUTIONARY" on themselves,
|
|
they think once they know a problem exists, that they are no longer a part
|
|
of that problem, which they are.
|
|
As always before and now, sexism is a second hand term. It seems
|
|
everything is being laid out in order of importance, made by who? Its like
|
|
"first we'll fight racism, cos' we already know how to beat up nazis, then
|
|
maybe we'll think about sexism, capitalism, or homophobia, whichever least
|
|
affects our privilege. After that if there's time, and no more beer, we
|
|
can read about speciesism, ageism, or ableism. if we're really cool we'll
|
|
learn a little about it all to improve our social skills for the next
|
|
gathering."
|
|
Whatever happened to fucking equality? How did some isms become
|
|
more important than others you ask? Its called "How to be cool in the
|
|
political scene, and keep as much privilege as possible" (look for it at
|
|
your local corporate bookstore).
|
|
It's sad when it comes to the point where we don't want to think of
|
|
anyone but ourselves or the P.C. status quo. Which brings me back to the
|
|
conclusion of all these "feminist" men, who care so dearly about wimmin (or
|
|
at least fucking them), until it affects their privilege, they care. Which
|
|
I challenge SELF-PROCLAIMED anti-sexist men to really think about, how far
|
|
the words they speak so well, go maybe try asking your best friend or lover
|
|
just how anti-sexist you are.
|
|
Has this article offended you yet? Do you use your knowledge of
|
|
others oppression to make a change or to just make a good impression. Do
|
|
you feel challenged when a womyn speaks? Ever assumed its ok to touch
|
|
someone? Ever feel bothered when a womyn asks you to confront sexist
|
|
bullshit? well fuck you, you choose the term revolutionary not me.
|
|
Unless we can start seeing ourselves as the problem, and until we
|
|
can actually start talking and listening to each other about our problems
|
|
and work on them, revolutionary change will always remain a distant dream.
|
|
So the last question being, how many articles does it take until
|
|
men start working on their shit? Aren't you tired of hearing and reading
|
|
about it (if they even took the time)?
|
|
Maybe Smith and Wesson do a better job??
|
|
At least stop considering yourselves revolutionaries, YOU'RE NOT
|
|
MY COMRADE.
