how does it feel to be the one
who let’s yourself down?
how does it feel--
the sorrow?
Basil tells of being queer-bashed, and his learning to heal.
Many men have been latching on to feminist politics without taking up our place in the struggle for too long. Its’ not enough to read bell hooks or Angela Davis, call ourselves feminists, hang out with riot grrrls or rock the emo-boy style anymore. It’s time to get out there, look inside and deal with the fact that most of us have been socialized in a society that teaches us to take power away from people around us.
