I'm not surprised, for as you well note, that's what politically privileged determination to be ignorant about human suffering (of those other than that the white man in the mirror) does to a person. <BR/><BR/>Lurk away, and please comment whenever you are motivated to do so. It is my goal that this blog be a (relatively) safe space for all women, where no woman will be verbally attacked in any manner.<BR/><BR/>It remains to be seen whether a man calling men out has any greater effect. But regardless, I think it is what men who are in the midst of other men ought to be doing. <BR/><BR/>I despise and accept the fact that, on matters of male supremacist oppression, a sizable percentage of men will only listen to criticism from another man, not from a woman. <BR/><BR/>To me it is a given that any woman's voice, speaking from the perspective of one who is being oppressed by men's actions and institutions, ought to have more legitimacy than the men who oppress her. I believe her humanity, and possibly also his, would best be supported, as Pearl Cleage says, by him adopting "a posture of listening" when being challenged by those he harms.<BR/><BR/>I appreciate your support.<BR/><BR/>Take care!Julian Realhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02933612851144914687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6744114065733119575.post-56194543498890598262008-12-05T14:24:00.000-05:002008-12-05T14:24:00.000-05:00Hey, I'm here by way of Heart's blog. *waves*I ju...Hey, I'm here by way of Heart's blog. *waves*<BR/>I just wanted to thank you for doing what you do and for calling these ass hats out.

It must be everyone else's fault!"<BR/><BR/>I'm going to lurk about some more now because you have some fantastic stuff on your blog!<BR/><BR/>Best,<BR/>EvoEvolEvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05329001165205463847noreply@blogger.com
