39. I hate patriarchy
Edited on Fri Jul-20-07 01:54 AM by undergroundpanther
If you want to nit pick go elsewhere.We are talking about the DEFENSE of women who have been raped assaulted beaten by men.
Many times men who are around men fail to call the sexist men the pigs they are. Being a transgender I have seen it with my own eyes,and I spoke up..when the"men with penises failed to.Men by standing as women get humiliated by other men is not innocence.

All it takes for evil to prevail is for good people to do nothing.

There are many men who say nothing, do nothing and stand by as women get devalued as in a sexist joke or comment.There are men who did nothing when a woman is demeaned,humiliated scapegoated or even beaten up assaulted or raped by other men. There are millions of men who like porn but fail to connect that it is an industry built on exploitation of women. All those 'good men' still have priveleged status, they are not blameless.

Sad some women have become so patriarchal.So passive and meek,calling radical feminism hate,because it is not meek and supportive of dick priveleges like they are.

Woman, grow some ovaries and a heart please.
Have more sympathy for the wounded ones than for by stander do nothing 'good men' who say nothing when a sexist joke is told around other men,and do nothing when they hear a woman next door being torn apart by her drunk abuser...There are plenty of good men who fail to risk caring.Yet you call those who defend the victims of patriarchy hateful?

The bystanders and sympathizers who tolerate the abuses done by this toxic culture of patriarchy don't care about you and your squeaking of lets all just get along and play nice. Playing nice never helped an assault victim you know.

You just can't get along with a culture of abuse and denial created by and for patriarchy, unless you have decided on some level to tolerate the intolerable and shut down dissent,within.

You must realize,sometimes you have to use your claws and speak truth to power and that truth may not always be what you would like to hear.Sometimes reality is brutal and it must be handled in brutal ways to stop the abuses...We don't need your permission or approval or for all the men to feel un threatened by us to act on behalf of women in pain.. ,dear. You might.. but I don't.I'm not a nice little woman. I have claws and know how to use them,and I am not afraid to use them either. Understand?
