He makes it very clear he has no respect for me by telling me I'm ugly and will get nowhere in life as everyone hates me and always will. He always made fun of me being a feminist but now I realise that he wasn't just joking. He was being shit serious about what he said. I know that talking to him won't help. He's just going to tell me to fuck off. What can I do to make him stop watching such shit and to teach im to repsect women?
Well, I've read a few Nature vs. Nurture feminist theories on this, but I'd rather not pay attention to men anymore at all (as a separatist). If a tiny few pro-feminist males want to teach other men about justice & non-violence (e.g. John Stoltenberg, Robert Jensen, Rich of Adonis Mirror, etc), then I'm okay with that so long as they speak to men, not to women - as it is up to us only to decide what we want from Women's Liberation (and we should be suspicious of all males, including allies, yes, sometimes).radical_feminist wrote:Why are men so fucked up?
Womyn are socialized from birth into 'feminine' roles, i.e. roles that require that they focus all their attention on men. They learn to become the husbands & boyfriends' "ego-boosters"; they learn to glorify the big 'achievements' of the Big Men in our society (who have acquired a position of power); they learn to view other women as their enemies/rivals; etc the list goes on. In short, womyn are brainwashed into believing that they are "not oppressed" or that "things could be worse". In a patriarchal society, women learn to become male-identified because men hold the power to indocrinate them (through every facets of the malestream media, through religions, in schools, in the Academia, in law & other male-supremacist brainwashing institutions). I'm sure you know what I mean.I wonder why some women support men and don't listen to women.
I guess that, within a culture that is All About Teh Menz, womyn have been socialized to even stick by men because of fear or false consciousness...I wonder why they stick by men even when they're educated enough to know what is happening is wrong.

Today my brother and his friends were over and talking about going to Hooters, going on about "titties and beer" and shit and discussing strip clubs. My parents were involved in the conversation and were laughing along, totally encouraging it. My dad was saying he didn't know there was one where we live and my bro was like, you gotta come then! etc. It's really annoying that my mom has to act all cool and accepting with my brother and his friends.
