Men’s space in the feminist movement.

golden-notebook:

Male-identified allies SHOULD BE: 

• Assisting feminist leaders. 
• Supporting feminism and standing up for women in contentious, hostile spaces. (Not speaking for them - standing up for them.) 
• Listening more than speaking. 
• Asking, “How can I help?” 
• If in a role as a candidate for a graduate degree in gender studies, or a professor in W&GS, centering women in discussions - always, always, always - and going out of your way to include women speakers. 

Male-identified allies SHOULDN’T BE: 

• Acting as feminist leaders. 
• Speaking over women in contentious, hostile spaces, if not asked or requested to do so.
• Speaking more than listening.
• Asking, “But why don’t you accept me?” with the insinuation that support is conditional on being coddled. 
• If a candidate for a graduate degree in gender studies, or a professor in W&GS, centering every conversation on you and your penis, and what ~* other dudes *~ think about feminism. Being sure to talk over women at every turn, and focus class discussions on jizz facials.

In response to this, and the ensuing controversy.
