It takes a lot to program a human to hate, fear and dominate others, but several thousand years of internal and then external European colonization managed to do it.

Now children are raised with authoritarian values forced on them from day one:
Men are not trash.
Perpetuating the narrative that “men are bad” helps normalize rape culture by making it seem like it’s just inherent to their nature. It’s not.

Yes! This is what I'm saying—every crack in the system is an opportunity to welcome disillusioned people into the movement for collective liberation. The right are doing it, it's long past time we offered something better
Maybe a timely men’s support group which could help young men
“Bitcoin Bro Support Group”

A lot have lost a lot of money and maybe would be needing support- and we could steer them to positive masculinity.
Great question. In the "What to do" section in this article, I have some thoughts!

Hey men and masc peeps: here are some resources for dealing with young men who need community and help grappling with their anger and violence.
How to talk to struggling men? Nonviolent Communication training is the place to start: nvcacademy.com

Starting a men's group is also a hugely beneficial step. Make sure the stated and practiced values of the group are decolonial, feminist and anti-oppressive: mensgroup.com/start-mens-g...
So, jumping off from your excellent talks about men being conditioned into authoritarian lifestyles… what would be some of the things we can say to these guys? How do we reach them? I was inspired so much by Ian McKellen’s The Strangers case yesterday, but how do we reconnect their humanity?

I recommend this, and the materials have come a long way since Marshall B. Rosenberg's original ones, which could be a little abstract and technical

(loved his hand puppets though!)

I feel what you're saying in my heart. I think it's very reasonable for women to focus on themselves and their healing. Myself and other people can do outreach work for the collective, and you can contribute to the movement for liberation in whatever ways you're able to. Trust us to carry the rest ❤️
To be fair, I am also pissed that women are expected to be the emotional punching bag for men, their therapist, etc. In usa, I avoid men I feel are toxic on a personal bc it could endanger my life. Women’s rights are literally under attack and lost the right to abortion.

Well said. The "all men suck", "all white people are racist" crap is making excuses for awful behaviour. It's unproductive, it reinforces biological essentialism, and it erodes solidarity.

It's doing the work of our collective enemy.

Men are human beings. The social system of patriarchal masculinity is what's trash, and it hurts them too. We can change that.

It feels so much better in my body to practice loving everyone—𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦—than it did to selectively fear, resent and hate people.

It makes me a better organizer, a better teacher, a better parent, and a better friend.

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

Appreciate that folks lift up the Panthers. Black groups pre-dating the Panthers were also doing community patrols. See one example here: nmaahc.si.edu/object/nmaah...

Joshua Clark Davis's Police Against the Movement offers some other examples too.
