Thoughts on this? Reading this it feels almost like seeing a light at the end of the tunnel. For years I projected a lot of this discourse onto myself, possibly as a way to mask over my own gender identity issues.
I held back every response I could think of because I didn't feel like I could convince someone I was bringing it forward in good faith. But if we bring up our trans comrades in the context of this dialogue I feel like we could really be taken seriously. Like it opens up so many opportunities for solidarity.
What am I missing here? What do you folks think?
Right, I really think it'd look great to bring some positivity to men's lives for once. Like the first time I heard "dudes rock" it really resonated with me and I think it'd be cool to build a slogan around it.
Maybe something like "dudes rock, the patriarchy does not"? Kind of mouthful but like it could really go a long way in helping decouple the two, while still acknowledging how men can uphold it (bonus intersectionality points if it gets people to understand that men aren't the only people who can uphold the patriarchy too)
More people need to understand this.
