Date: Thu, 2 Apr 1998 06:52:53 +0200 Charlie writes.. 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..
