[news] Sexual Abuse in Activist Communities

[Resist!ca]

"(A) lot of us want to believe that activist men really are different from our fathers, brothers, old boyfriends, and male strangers we confront in our daily routines. We want to have some faith that the guy who writes a position paper on sexism and posts it on his website is not writing it just to make himself look good, get pussy, or cover up some of his dangerous practices towards women....And we would like to think that 'security culture'....includes thinking proactively about how to deal with misogyny, patriarchy and heterosexism both outside of and within the activist scenes....But all of these wishes, all of these dreams obviously tend to go unaddressed."
