35 practical steps men can take to support sahara-vagina

Algermas · 2014-08-04T16:36:36+00:00

Consume cultural products produced by white men.

In whatever your interests are -- French cinema, astrophysics, baseball, birdwatching -- ensure that white men’s voices and white men’s cultural products are represented in what you are consuming. If they are not, make an effort to seek them out.

Give white men space.

Many white men walk around -- especially at night or while alone -- feeling on edge and unsafe. Being in close physical proximity to an unknown black man can exacerbate this feeling. Recognize that this is not an unreasonable fear for white men to have, given how many of us have experienced harassment or abuse or been made to feel unsafe by black men when we are in public spaces. Also recognize that it doesn’t matter if you are the kind of black man who a white man has any actual reason to fear, because a white man on the street doesn’t have a way of knowing this about you or not.

Examples: If a seat is available on public transit next to a black man, take that seat rather than one next to a white man. If you are walking outside in the dark close to a white man walking alone, cross the street so that he doesn’t have to worry someone is following him. If a white man is standing alone on a subway platform, stand some distance away from him.

… but insert yourself into spaces where you can use your blackness to interrupt racism.

Examples: challenge black men who make racist comments and jokes. If you see a white male friend in a bar/at a party/on the subway/wherever looking uncomfortable as a black man is speaking to him, try to interject in a friendly way that offers him an opportunity for an “out” if he wants it. If you see a situation where a white man looks like he may be in distress while in the company of a black man, stand nearby enough that you make yourself a physical presence, monitor the situation, and be in a position to call for help if needed.

Things like this can super difficult, awkward, and complicated to know how to do, but it’s worth trying anyway. Making yourself feel momentarily uncomfortable is a fair tradeoff for making a white man feel more comfortable.

When a white man tells you something is racist, believe him.
Be mindful of implicit and explicit racial power differentials in your intimate/domestic/platonic/professional relationships with white men…whether a partner or family members or roommates.

Work to recognize where inherent structural power differentials based on race, class, gender, sexual orientation, age (and so on). Where you benefit from these structural imbalances, educate yourself about your privilege and work on finding ways to create a more equitable balance of power. For example, if you are in a domestic partnership where you are the primary income earner, educate yourself about the racial wage gap, and work on dividing labour and economic resources within your household in a way that increases the economic autonomy of your partner.

Make sure that honesty and respect guide your fiendships and professional relationships with white men.

The way you treat white men with whom you are friends is a mirror of your values about white men in general. It doesn’t work to espouse racial equality theory and then treat your friends like trash. Be upfront and open about your intentions, communicate openly so that white men have the ability to make informed, autonomous decisions about what they want to do.

Don’t be an online bystander in the face of racism.

Challenge people who make, say, or post racist things on the Internet, especially on social media.

Be responsible with money in domestic/romantic relationships.

Know that if you are irresponsible with money, this necessarily impacts white people and since white men still make less than men overall (and live longer), this is a racist issue.

Pay attention to the race of experts and key figures presenting information to you in the media.

When you are watching an expert on TV, reading articles, etc., notice how often this information will come from white men and, at the very least, wonder how a black perspective might be different.

Ensure that some of your heroes and role models are white men.
Praise the virtues and accomplishments of white men in your life to others.

In everyday conversation and in communication in general, talk to others about white men you know in a positive light. Suggest your white male friends for projects, jobs, and collaborations with other people you know.

Have integrity with your white male friends. (i.e., Don’t be a “nigger.”)

When a black male friend is doing something racist (being a deadbeat dad, down-talking white men etc.) have integrity and say something to your black friend. It’s not enough to think it’s wrong; let them know you think it’s wrong.

Know that acknowledging your own racist opinions and stereotypes you hold is not enough. Do something about them.
Befriend white men.

If you don’t have any white male friends, figure out why you don’t and then make some. Make sure they are authentic, meaningful relationships. The more we care about and relate to one anther, the better chance we stand of creating a more egalitarian society.

Find white male mentors/leaders. (i.e., Be subordinate to white men.)

If you are seeking a mentor, or want to volunteer with an organization, go with a white man, or white man-led organization. Know that there’s a lot you can learn from white men in positions of authority.

Don’t police white men’s appearance.

White men are taught to internalize intensely restrictive beauty norms from the time they are small children. Don’t do or say things that makes white men feel like they aren’t meeting this norm, or create pressure on them to meet it.

Offer to accompany white male friends if they have to walk home alone at night…or in a public space where they may be likely to feel unsafe.

But don’t be pushy about it or act like you are being the Ultimate Token Black Guy for doing so.

Inject racial equality into your daily conversations with other black men.

Have conversations with your younger black brothers and sons about crime.

If you have a tendency to behave inappropriately toward white men when you are under the influence of drugs or alcohol, do not consume drugs or alcohol.
Be aware of the physical and emotional space you occupy, and don’t take up more space than you need.

Use your fair share of “air space” in conversations, give as much to relationships as you take, don’t sit with your legs splayed so that other people can’t comfortably sit next to you, etc.

Get in the habit of treating your blackness as an unearned privilege that you have to actively work to cede rather than whiteness being an unearned disadvantage that white men have to work to overcome.
Self-identify as a racial egalitarian.

Speak about racial egalitarianism as a natural, normal, uncontentious belief, because it should be. Don’t hedge and use terms like “humanist” or “white ally” that reinforce the idea that the F-word itself is a scary word.

Think I could publish this?

1) Do 50% (or more) of housework.

Sure, if you work. If you don't, expect that to go up to 90%+.

2) Do 50% (or more) of emotional support work in your intimate relationships and friendships.

I can understand putting in work for male friendships but putting in 50%+ in relationships, that sounds brutal.

3) Consume cultural products produced by women.

Well the CEO of Pepsi is a woman, so if I drink pepsi I'm supporting her right? Seems pretty foolish for the most part, and maybe if women made and manufactured anywhere near 50% of cultural products, I would consume them.

4) Give women space.

Yes, give them space. Like buying them a house with a two-car garage while you reside in the "mancave".

5) … but insert yourself into spaces where you can use your maleness to interrupt sexism.

Guy 1: Excuse me, sir. I noticed you were staring at that female's ass before getting to know her?

Guy 2: So? It's a nice ass.

Guy 1: Hey everyone, this guy is a sexist! Call the whiteknight patrol!

Wait, what happened to giving her space?

6) When a woman tells you something is sexist, believe her.

Wait a minute, what if my very existence is sexist. Oh my god...shit. Why shouldn't we question it? Whenever people say not to question shit I get suspicious.

7) Educate yourself about sexual consent and make sure there is clear, unambiguous communication of consent in all your sexual relationships.

And buy yourself a gallon tub of vasoline and a crate of kleenex while you're at it.

8) Be responsible for contraception.

I always am, because I'm smart and don't want to get stuck with no kid. If she says she's on birth control, don't believe her.

9) Get the HPV vaccine.

Yea I got that. Big fucking deal.

10) Have progressive name politics.

If she doesn't change her name to fit mine after marriage, I'd consider that a great dishonor and hugely disrespectful to tradition. By that alone I would probably not marry her. Because it's a strong sign she could be a closeted feminist, which increases odds of divorce rape.

11) If you have children, be an equal parent.

I agree for the most part, but recognize that in order for equal parenting to even exist would require both people to be committed. Good luck finding an anglo-female that cares about anyone more than herself.

12) Pay attention to and challenge informal instances of gender role enforcement.

Yes, let's get rid of all gender roles! Thousands of years of our ancestors history is wrong! Oh wait a minute...hmmm.

13) Be mindful of implicit and explicit gendered power differentials in your intimate/domestic relationships with women…whether a partner or family members or roommates.

And be sure to get another tub of vasoline and another truckload of kleenex, and a strong internet connection.

14) Make sure that honesty and respect guide your romantic and sexual relationships with women.

Unless you're low value, then I don't care about your opinion and think it's worthless.

15) Don’t be an online bystander in the face of sexism.

Yea, join in and laugh.

16) Be responsible with money in domestic/romantic relationships.

Yes, be responsible. By not having shared bank accounts and not giving your wife a credit card. That alone will saves your family thousands.

17) Be responsible for your own health.

Yea hit the gym, both of you. America needs a gym session.

18) Don’t ogle or make comments about women. (i.e., Keep your tongue in your mouth and comments to yourself.)

Only in anglo-countries is it inappropriate to make comments. In many cultures giving compliments is quite common, it never really was that way here without knowing someone. Only in feminized anglo-ones it is by any stretch considered "sexual harassment".

19) Pay attention to the sex of experts and key figures presenting information to you in the media.

If you want good advice on getting laid, first turn off the television. Then go outside, then talk to a lot of women. Still having trouble? Learn game and learn from men who have had a lot of sex.

20) Ensure that some of your heroes and role models are women.

As soon as they do heroic things, I'll be ready to.

21) Praise the virtues and accomplishments of women in your life to others.

Besides giving birth? Hmm.....

22) Have integrity with your male friends. (i.e., Don’t be a “bro.”)

I think it's interesting how our culture has put masculinity in such a tiny box where one of the only ways to be masculine is to be a bro. But then again if women didn't go for these so-called "bros" they probably would change again. A bro realizes he must engage in the hyper-masculine just to impress the modern hypergamous female.

23) Don’t treat your spouse like a “nag.” If she is “nagging,” you are probably lagging.

Oh god, I felt so bad for my dad. Talk about the nagging, jesus. Even I could barely stand it.

24) Know that acknowledging your own sexist opinions and stereotypes you hold is not enough. Do something about them.

I do something about them, I keep them and explain them logically.

25) Befriend women.

Nope. Unless she has hot friends. Then maybe.

26) Find female mentors/leaders. (i.e., Be subordinate to women.)

As soon as they start existing, I'll follow them. But I won't be their subordinate, which is a weird comment to make from someone pushing "equality". I guess it's equality if women are on top but not men, right?

27) When in a romantic relationship, be responsible for events and special dates associated with your side of the family.

Ideally, she won't even know my family.

28) Don’t police women’s appearance.

Like every other non-anglo country, that police women's appearance.

29) Offer to accompany female friends if they have to walk home alone at night…or in a public space where they may be likely to feel unsafe.

For that safe walk that'll be $19.99 with tax.

30) Inject feminism into your daily conversations with other men.

Quickest way to makes others hate you, hands down. Men will be annoyed and women will think you're lame.

31) If you have a tendency to behave inappropriately toward women when you are under the influence of drugs or alcohol, do not consume drugs or alcohol.

"behave inappropriately", what drivel, just remember kids, men's desires are inherently wrong.

32) Be aware of the physical and emotional space you occupy, and don’t take up more space than you need.

The fatter you are, the more physical space you get. The emotional space. Haha, yea let me park my car in your emotional space.

33) Walk the walk about income inequality.

And don't look up things like "wage gap debunked" or "wage gap myth" that might prove me wrong.

34) Get in the habit of treating your maleness as an unearned privilege that you have to actively work to cede rather than femaleness being an unearned disadvantage that women have to work to overcome.

HURR DURR privilege. The fact of the matter is, in a lot of ways both genders have it pretty shitty. I mean men are more likely to commit suicide, to die in war or occupational hazards, not get custody of children, be passed up for jobs by less-qualified women, be the main loser in family courts/child custody/alimony. I could go on, but I think you get the point.

35) Self-identify as a feminist.

For the third time, get a small pool filled with vasoline, a warehouse full of kleenex, and a lighning fast internet connection.

ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

Such as how not to lead anything. The worst , or maybe the funniest part, is the fact that they actually believe shit like this and the (non-existent) wage gap.

"When a male friend is doing something sexist (being a deadbeat dad, down-talking women, ogling women, secretly spending shared money, lying to their partner, etc.) have integrity and say something to your friend."

So A man doing things A woman doesn't like because it is against her specific interests is now sexism? GMFB.

"Have integrity and..."

Oh, look, shaming some men to police the conduct of other men. My my. Shocker.

A_Roasted_Peanut · 2014-08-04T17:21:00+00:00

This list in a nutshell: "Women earn less so as a man you should pay more. As a man you should apologise and bow down to women. Check your privilege."

Get the HPV vaccine. Since women are the ones who are disproportionately affected by the consequences of HPV, as a matter of fairness men should be the ones who at least assume the potential risks of getting vaccinated.

"Women are not at all responsible for their own health, and it's on all men to get vaccinated so a woman doesn't have to. We can't have women actually taking responsibility for themselves after all."

When you are watching an expert on TV, reading articles, etc., notice how often this information will come from men and, at the very least, wonder how a female perspective might be different.

Then how about they gain the expertise and qualifications to have an opinion worth listening to? The great thing about this point is that it admits a lot of experts are men, and yet doesn't seem to consider that this expertise is why they command higher salaries.

Find female mentors/leaders.

They don't exist in my field. Even though they're deciding not to go in of their own choice (I self-studied in a few months), it's clearly the patriarchy at work.

Walk the walk about income inequality.

I will walk all the way to collect my higher paycheque, thank you. That's what happens when you spend the time learning a valuable skill in demand, and spend time refining and improving your abilities. Who would have thought that this is more productive than a "Women's Studies" degree?

mordanus · 2014-08-04T19:30:29+00:00

I remember one of the first times I dealt with a crazy bitch of a feminist in high school. It was a hot day and me and two other guys were hanging out with her when we decided to take our shirts off (just the guys). She gets pissed off about how unfair it was and told us to put our shirts back on. One of the guys started to buckle and I just laughed at her. She then threatened to take her shirt off if we didn't put ours back on. I smiled at her and told her to do it. Win win for me. The other guys were hesitating but she eventually backed off because she found out she had no power and her threats were rewards and bluffs.

If more people would realize that feminism was just a shit test and they had no real threats and everything else is just a bluff or a win for us then it would be a lot better for all involved. We just collectively need to laugh at feminists and tell them no. They will realize they have no power. All they can do is cry.

RedBigMan · 2014-08-04T19:31:33+00:00

Wow just wow... this list has some hilarious points in it...

… but insert yourself into spaces where you can use your maleness to interrupt sexism.

It's ok to be a man but only if you're white knighting! Also no men's clubs and shit like that because that's sexist! We at TRP know the value of male spaces.

Be responsible for contraception.

We all know how responsible women are. Also they foist all the responsibility for contraception on the man. We're supposed to apparently take whatever they say and be done with it without complaining or questioning it. So if she wants you to get a vasectomy you better do it! (PS: Getting a vasectomy is a good idea anyways but getting one because a woman tells you to should be a non-factor)

Get the HPV vaccine.

Yes we should shoot up our boys with the vaccine because women want to slut it up more.

Walk the walk about income inequality.

Bwahahahahaha! ROFLMAO! Oh god they're bringing up the 77% as much as men statistic as if it's fucking real and something that like god gave moses on a stone tablet or some shit like that.

Get in the habit of treating your maleness as an unearned privilege that you have to actively work to cede rather than femaleness being an unearned disadvantage that women have to work to overcome.

LOL...

Self-identify as a feminist.

So take your testicles and hand them to the nearest butch dyke so she can enjoy having a set of balls.

Keninishna · 2014-08-04T20:02:10+00:00

Be aware of the physical and emotional space you occupy, and don’t take up more space than you need.

I remember reading about body language and to show alpha-leaderness this is the exact opposite.

Donate 23% of your pay to charity because you're not a faggot and don't work in HR.

Being a man is an unearned privilege. Well I guess it is in that I can drink 8-12 beers and still be functional enough to make myself something greasy before I pass out. There are other things too like how if someone tried to rape me I could elbow them in the face. But that's my luck.

Being a really hot girl is an unearned privilege too. Being a shameless gossiping cunt is certainly something women do well.

xMasteroftheWorld · 2014-08-04T21:37:03+00:00

Yeah....no. I will start treating women like this when they do the same for us men. Until that happens, which is never, I will act accordingly. So much entitlement it hurts....

[deleted] · 2014-08-04T21:50:41+00:00

50% or more

This is already more about female supremacy than equality. It's okay for them to do less than 50%, but not us.

be willing to both keep your existing surnames. If having a common surname with your spouse is important to you, be willing to change your surname and treat this as a preferable option to your spouse changing hers.

If you're getting married, you're already doing something she probably wants more than you. But go ahead and cater to her more, anyway.

Don’t be an online bystander in the face of sexism.

I bet they wouldn't be saying that if I called them sexist for writing this article.

Inject feminism into your daily conversations with other men.

Alienate everyone you know. Got it.

income inequality

There is no fucking income inequality. Women are just more family oriented. When a woman actually is career oriented, they can make just as much as men.

trade4599 · 2014-08-04T21:59:59+00:00

Be responsible for contraception.

Seems reasonable...

As a gesture that redresses a minuscule amount of this disparity, heterosexual men should finance the whole cost of contraceptives.

...get fucking lost.

If you are walking outside in the dark close to a woman walking alone, cross the street so that she doesn’t have to worry someone is following her. If a woman is standing alone on a subway platform, stand some distance away from her.

But isn't feminism for women AND men? Aren't we "equal"?
