I am rather bored by all the men who claim that the only way to be feminists is to be allowed into every possible women-only space and mansplain’ where feminists went wrong. It’s an unbelievably obnoxious silencing technique and an amazing display of white, male privilege. [Yeah, I’m looking at that sub-section of whiny-arsed men on Mumsnet who insist on telling women that birth trauma doesn’t exist because they’ve seen their wives give birth and it was all fine.]
This is a partial list of organisations that men can be involved with to help defeat the patriarchy, either through activism or financial support:
The White Ribbon Campaign: run by men to end male violence against women.. They organise marches on December 6th to raise awareness of violence against women. I notice the whiners who demand the right to march on women-organised Reclaim the Night marches are never committed to helping organise men-only marches. Too much like hard work?
Object: runs campaigns against the sexual objectification of women. They fought to have lap dancing clubs rezoned under English law as sex establishments and not cafes. They are currently running campaigns to end Page 3 in the Sun and challenging the demand for prostitution which is, basically, rape.
Stop Porn Culture: Make Love, Not Porn
UK Feminista: A Movement of Ordinary Women and Men campaigning for Gender Equality
SCASE: Scottish Coalition Against Sexual Exploitation
Organisations that men can help financially support to destroy the Patriarchy:
Rape Crisis (England/Wales)
Or, and this here is just a wee suggestion, men can stop raping women, physically assaulting women, raping prostitutes and using porn. Challenge any misogynistic, racist, disabilist and homophobic language. All of which will help to destroy the patriarchy.
and another one to add to your fab list http://www.restoredrelationships.org
Thank you for the recommendation. If you have anymore, please list them!
