Alana Is Reading

The thing is, it’s patriarchy that says men are stupid and monolithic and unchanging and incapable. It’s patriarchy that says men have animalistic instincts and just can’t stop themselves from harassing and assaulting. It’s patriarchy that says men can only be attracted by certain qualities, can only have particular kinds of responses, can only experience the world in narrow ways. Feminism holds that men are capable of more – are more than that. Feminism says that men are better than that, can change, are capable of learning, and have the capacity to be decent and wonderful people.

Zero at the Bone ~ Keep changing the world, “On claiming to be a stupid man who doesn’t know anything”(via mgutierr)

We are capable of more. A man of character will value women, denounce misogynistic culture and fight patriarchy as an ally. Men, step aside or join ranks.
