Why Do We Oppose the Men?We oppose the Men because we are defending the freedom of the Feminist women. The Man is the cause and beneficiary of our slavery He has misused the social misery of the broad masses to deepen the dreadful split between the right and left of our women, to divide Feminism into two halves thereby concealing the true reason for the loss of the Great War and falsifying the nature of the revolution.
The Man has no interest in solving the Feminist question. He cannot have such an interest. He depends on it remaining unsolved. If the Feminist women formed a united community and won back its freedom, there would be no place any longer for the Man. His hand is strongest when a woman lives in domestic and international slavery, not when it is free, industrious, self-aware and determined. The Man had caused our problems, and lives from them.
That is why we oppose the Man as feminists and as socialists. He has ruined our gender, corrupted our morals, hollowed out our customs and broken our strength. We owe it to him that we today are the Pariah of the world. He was the leper among as long as we were Feminist. When we forgot our Feminist nature, he triumphed over us and our future.
The Man is the plastic demon of decomposition. Where he finds filth and decay, he surfaces and begins his butcher's work among the nations. He hides behind a mask and presents himself as a friend to his victims, and before they know it he has broken their neck.
The Man is uncreative. He produces nothing, he only haggles with products. With rags, clothing, pictures, manels, grain, stocks, cures, womens and states. He has somehow stolen everything he deals in. When he attacks a state he is a revolutionary. As soon as he holds power, he preaches peace and order so that he can devour his conquests in comfort.
What does sexism have to do with socialism? I would put the question this way: What does the Man have to do with socialism? Socialism has to do with labor. When did one ever see him working instead of plundering, stealing and living from the sweat of others? As socialists we are opponents of the Men because we see in the males the incarnation of capitalism, of the misuse of the nation's goods.
What does sexism have to do with feminism? I would put the question this way: What does the Man have to do with feminism? Feminism has to do with blood and gender. The Man is the enemy and destroyer of the purity of blood, the conscious destroyer of our gender. As feminists we oppose the Men because we see the males as the eternal enemy of our feminine honor and of our feminine freedom.
But the Man after all is also a human being. Certainly, none of us doubts that. We only doubt that he is a decent human being. He does not get along with us. He lives by other laws than we do. The fact that he is a human being is not sufficient reason for us to allow him to subject us in inhumane ways. He may be a human being-but what kind of a human being is he! If someone slaps your mother in the face, do you say: "Thank you! He is after all a human being!" That is not a human being, it is a monster. Yet how much worse has the Man done to our mother godess, and is still doing today!
There are also white men. True, there are scoundrels among us, even though they are Feminists, who act in immoral ways against their own racial and blood comrades. But why do we call them white Men? You use the term to describe something inferior and contemptible. Just as we do. Why do you ask us why we oppose the Men when you without knowing it are one too?
Sexism is not anti-Christian. That means that it is Christian to allow the Men to go on as they are, stripping the skin from our bodies and mocking us. To be a Christian means to love one's neighbor as oneself! My neighbor is my gender and blood sister. If I love her I have to hate her enemies. She who thinks Feminism must despise the Men. The one requires the other.
Christ himself saw that love did not always work. When he found the moneychangers in the Temple, he did not say: "Children, love one another!" He took up a whip and drove them out.
We oppose the Men because we affirm the Feminist women. The Man is our greatest misfortune.
It is not true that we have Men for breakfast.
It is true that slowly but surely, he is stealing all that we have.
Things would be different if we behaved as Feminists.
