[Smashpatriarchy] Manarchist Ryan Gosling

[Christopher Leinonen]

Hey, folks!
Regretfully, I will (almost certainly) not be able to attend the meeting
this coming weekend.  I hope others can make it.

I do, however, have a link I'd like to share.  Some of you may have seen
it, but it was new to me.  Manarchist Ryan Gosling:

Pretty funny, right?

But then there's this:
http://www.theprecarious.com/content/manarchist-explosion

Which talks about it, but also addresses the ways in which "Manarchism" (or
"Bro-gressives" or "Mactivists" or "The Manguard") can make spaces shitty
or unwelcoming for non male-identified folks, and just bugger up movements
in general.  Most damning of all, is that a lot of men who can read
Manarchist Ryan Gosling and laugh at it may also (probably also?) do some
manarchist type crap of their own.  Let's try to be aware, hey?  On the
plus side, I think our group can represent a good step towards the
"anti-manarchist insurrection" the author of this article talks about.
 Hurrah for educating each other!

-Chris
