sleeping with the enemy?

"Women are the only oppressed group in our society that lives in intimate association with their oppressors."
~Evelyn Cunningham (journalist, activist)

So, what happens now? Men are our lovers, our friends, our fathers, our brothers, our co-workers.

I think it is important to understand that not only are men the benefactors of patriarchy but they are the victims of it as well. The men who benefit from a stance of power and dominance are often pressured and expected to exist in that world from birth.

It is the hope that the men in our lives understand this are willing to make strides towards humility which means giving up the tools of privilege.
