I am a feminist. I love straight men. Well, I love men. And the only ones I get to sleep with are straight.
I agree with Sonic that the word feminist is almost meaningless now. But I don't know what other word to use.
We women who think a certain way don't hate straight men. Most of us give birth to straight boys who turn into straight men. What? We hate them? We actively engage in subverting them from their birth? Pro tip: A mamma who wanted to do that would have a pretty east time. Scary but true, there ARE some people out there who inadvertently (we hope) DO do that. Give man shame at their boys. There are so many ways we parents can be awful and evil to our kids if we are broken ourselves. But the vast majority of us do no such thing.
I was talking to a really good friend of mine. Straight man. He was sort of stuck in this -- it's all about man hate and blaming men thing. A playful dope slap to the head would have been nice to sort the whole thing out. But alas we had to have a conversation. It was a difficult one for him.
I recounted my many stories of sexual abuse at the hands of men from quite a young age. From being molested as a young teenager by a person of authority at the school. To having to walk across the street to avoid the men who would regularly cat-call me as I walked home from work. (I began working at 13 since it was the dark ages back then and one could get a job with parent's permission at that age back then.) Their calls were 1) aimed at a THIRTEEN YEAR OLD GIRL (me) and 2) threatening in language and body language.
Sexual aggression was a thing in high school. The mindset of push past the no to a plausibly deniable maybe yes-ish was the modus operandi of many of the boys at school. You could hear them "locker room" talk about "how far they had gotten" when they were not being too careful.
Then as a quite young adult, having graduated college before my 21st birthday, things like being crammed on a NY subway like lemmings and having a guy run his hand up my skirt and attempt to insert it inside of me. One hand holding onto the loop above my head, the other holding onto my what was then called a portable computer. Pinned by bodies on all sides. No idea which of the people it was since when you look down, all you can see is the top halves of their bodies.
Being stalked on subways, chased or followed walking down the street. Once followed from the hotel restaurant where I was eating. Committing the heinous crime of being on a business trip without a male minder and trying to eat some dinner. Still in my suit to give the business message. Reading the ****ing Economist magazine so I could appear nice and boring. Followed me to my room with his hand on my door waiting me for me to open it so he could push in. Didn't speak a word of English. I don't speak a word of Italian. Of course, I am not a moron. I went right back down to the front desk to get an escort.
Being raped in my own bed by my room mates boyfriend's friend. Woken from sleep to find him on me. Unable to scream for help because... well this guy was the room mates FRIEND. Would anyone come and help me? Would he hurt me more if I did?
Wearing a wedding ring most of my life because somehow it would be disrespectful to my owner to pursue me in this way to some dudes.
The list is far longer than this. Who has time for all of them?
My friend was AGHAST. Of course, his first comment was, well you are really attractive. So wait. I should have to live like this for the sin of being born this way? Well of course not, my friend wishes he could bash anyone who ever did this to me in. But the point is, it is not like this for most women, really. This is a total aberration.
<--- That is where he is wrong. This is the message of metoo. It is NOT an aberration. The exact stories are different. And it is not limited to those who are deemed attractive. "Unattractive" women are targeted for a whole different set of behaviors with a whole different set of motives.
Are all men racists? Of course not. That is absurd. But
1) Most women have endured or continue to endure this kind of behavior on a regular basis.
2) Most women make decisions in their daily lives to limit exposure to this in their lives, their careers, their hobbies.
3) Many women protect themselves by walking the walk of attaching themselves to a male protector. Why not? That has worked for centuries. But it comes at a cost.
But most importantly, the message of metoo is that it is NOT an aberration. It is NOT about being "hit on by guys you don't find attractive" except insofar as some of these men do think that their horrible behavior is exactly that. (Then they get bitter and red pill because women are evil because they won't willingly **** them.)
My friend was pretty dumbfounded after that conversation. But he began to understand with the help of #metoos showing up everywhere the facts. The realities.
There it is.
