For Pittsburgh Indymedia. A meeting for men interested in getting together in an open atmoshpere to talk, with a focus on proactive action, about mysogyny, sexism etc.

When: Saturday May 17th 11:30-1:30
Where: Project 1877

What: Men Against Patriarchy Meeting
How to be a kick ass dude in the movement 101

This meeting is for anyone identifying as male to come share our experiences in a safe place with the intent of dealing with our internalized sexist mentalities and misogynistic tendencies. This is not meant to be a guilt fest but instead to be a proactive way to improve our own experiences in activism, culture, etc. and the experiences of anyone identifying as any thing other then male.

While this particular meeting is only open for male identifying individuals, in the future we hope to have completely open public events. We acknowledge that men have plenty of safe spaces, there generally isn’t space for these sorely needed discussions. Plus, men need to learn how to handle their own shit without always relying on wimmin to help us “be better activists.” We, as males, must take our fare share of responsibility for the fucked up shit that happens in our communities.

love,
some ARA dudes
