today, my boyfriend sent me this link via email:
after reading the headline to the article, i asked him what he got out of it and this is what he responded with:
"Its just a realization of how men are the leading cause of violence towards women because of superiority complexes."
this is a breakthrough, ladies. not just for me, or my boyfriend, or our relationship. but for all men and the perpetual cycle of violence that womyn continue to endure each and every day.
this is a testament to the ability for men to be "recovering-sexists" towards womyn in their lives. although it is impossible for men to be fully recovered-sexists, it is indeed the first step of recognizing the systems of oppression that we live in and the deep socializations that we operate under, that will liberate our minds and our hearts in a meaningful way.
"my liberation as a man is tied to your liberation as a womyn" -tony porter
this is progress.
