Breaking the MANacles: an anti-patriarchy reader [pdf]

To me, a decent critique on the issue of sexism and male supremacy in the anarchist collectives and movement in general

My personal viewpoint is that white heterosexual (rigid) men will always work to undermine the struggle against sexism and patriarchy. Sometimes impulsively, other times even unconsciously our privileged status functions as a duct tape which either silences or ties up women and others. By that I mean that, even men who see themselves as feminists or even anarcho-feminists(like myself) can act as reactionary counter-liberation soldiers against the struggle against male supremacy. For that reason we always have to seek genuine communication and always be critical of, not just our thoughts, but our actions as well. As "men" fighting sexism outwards might not be that difficult, fighting sexism inwards though is the real deal.
