malgosia,
   Assistant to women's self-emancipation came up half jokingly
   when I first joined the list. "Assistant" is meant to indicate
    a SUBORDINATE role.
        The important point is this.  With respect to male chauvinism,
  men are the main agents of oppression. Women have to be
  the Subjects of their own emancipation, but a subordinate role
   men can play is stop oppressing them. That would be an
   example of an assistance.
       As a Black person,  I see White assistants to Black liberation
   as critical.
       The main minds that have to be changed about male
   chauvinism are men's not women's. In that regard,
men feminist might play a special role.
         It is a shame that this argument would have two
    women thinking that I am anything but an ally on this, or
    have you trying to discourage me from promoting
    feminism among men.
         However, I will continue to promote feminism among men
   and  women, on and off the list, because I think
    what is good for the goose is good for the gander.

                                   peace and power , sisters
                                             Chas.

If I were the "sisters" I would puke at this "whiteboy" paternalistic crap.
I think Charlie and Proyect should get together--they have a lot in common..
The one
and Columbia Yuppie as advice giver to the Indians to stay in their teepees
and chew skins, the other and advice giver to women and blacks on how to
screw and table manners..

Warm regards
Bob Malecki
