I FOUND THE PERFECT ANSWER TO "Not All Men"

Out of 10 men, 1 makes a sexual joke directed at a woman, 2 laugh alone, 3 don't find it funny but still chuckle to fit in, and 4 say nothing, pretending they didn't hear it at all. Not a single one speaks up, and not a single one stops it. Later, aside from the man who made the joke, the other nine all believe the same thing: men like that are a minority and most men aren't like this, seeing themselves as part of the "good majority".

However, from the perspective of the woman being harassed, there is no big difference between them because the laughter, the silence, and the looking away all create the same environment. When women say most men are the same, this is what they mean: while not every man harasses women, most men participate in protecting the system that does.

And to add to this, even if you're alone with him and he doesn't attack you, that doesn't mean that he won't next time. There's no way to ever know that it won't happen some day because the calculations that they're doing aren't visible. Someone tried to rape one of my ex friend when she was a middle schooler and she was around him for over a year before that. He had maybe two or three opportunities to rape her before he actually tried but I think he still thought he had a chance at dating her so he refrained, and he only tried to rape her after he felt like he didn't have a chance. So with the men who will bide their time for years hoping you eventually become theirs, you could be alone with them and never know that they'll rape you the moment they decide you aren't going to fall for them after all. (azooz's example is perfect for this)

Almost all men participate in protecting the system that oppresses women.

Men think they're a good guy because they don't overtly violate or harm women but men regularly passively aggressively harm women by silently participating in other men's harassment of women and quietly exploiting women's unpaid labour for their benefit.

I can no longer attend any social gathering without thinking about how the unconscious overconsumption of the West fuels the Imperial Core's constant backwards cycle of resource extraction, exploitation of labor, and mass production of commodity that they don't realize the suffocating chokehold they've reinforced at home and abroad

you see so much in the UK that the people who are most motivated in the communist movement get driven away from marxist parties by regressive attitudes within them. the two most notable ML parties in the UK are virulently transphobic and politely transphobic in turn. a quicky growing Maoist party collapsed entirely the other year after suppressing complaints of racism (amongst other factors.) anecdotally, I've also heard from women who left an ML party after always being given cleanup duty after meetings and being subjected to other constant low level sexism

uplifting the most oppressed within the movement isn't a distraction from "the real work" of the communist movement, it's an essential part of keeping oppressed groups active within it. if you think you can build the movement with only the least oppressed workers, and the handful of racialised, queer, women, and disabled people who can stomach constant prejudice, you're already sabotaging yourself before you've begun. the struggle for revolution doesn't only happen during revolutionary moments, where the mass of people is so dissatisfied that they revolt and the state's usual methods of governance have failed. the overwhelming majority of revolutionary struggle happens in the years, or decades, leading up to that, where we slowly and steadily build the leadership infrastructure, educate the proletariat, and sabotage the state where we can. when you ignore chauvinism within the party, you're hobbling your ability to operate through 99 percent of the revolutionary process

association of feminism with Hinduism rests largely on symbolic gestures like worship of goddesses. Beyond these token acts there is hardly anything that can be called genuinely feminist in its structure. Earlier Dalit women were allowed to cover their breasts only if they pay stan tax, in Travancore.

most religions by their very design, have been structured to privilege men. that is why men praise religion more than women.

The benefits are mostly designed for men, while the duties are largely carried by women. Almost every religion seeks to keep its women exclusive to its own clan, so that the so called bloodline does not mix with others. Like it or not, in the long arc of time, women are reduced to the womb through which religions reproduce their next faithful generation.

if religious pride is a misogynistic man's trophy, it is also the jewelry of a religious woman used to decorate her cage.

From "Hindu Khatre Mein" to "Feminazi" to "Falana jihad" to whatever the fuck is the Right's distraction of the day, notice that it is politics of division and hate, sure, but it is also politics of low self-esteem. What they try to convince a powerful majority of is that they are weak and helpless.

They tell young men that women are out to get them. They tell Hindus that Muslims are out to get them. They tell the rich that the poor are out to get them. Basically they tell those in power that the powerless are the real danger. This is meant to keep the powerful subservient of course, but it is also meant to feed on their power. If the power classes remain convinced that they need protection, then their power can be used by the Right to maintain power. If the powerful spend their days weeping and wailing about imaginary enemies, then their power will never become a threat against those in power.

And so it is that the Right never tires of telling the rich and privileged that they are worthless and useless. The Right's fake news infrastructure is not a weapon against its enemies. Its a way to fool its own base and use the grievances it is feeding as weapons. In order for the Right to win, the average right winger has to be afraid and angry and convinced that it is weak and impotent.

And that's what happens.

They spend all their time weeping and wailing.

the weird thing about being a leftist is the government calling you a radical extremist and your family believing that youre a radical extremist and the whole times your main political beliefs are shit like "we live in a world where we could very easily end world hunger, homelessness, most disease, poverty, ect. and the people in power are choosing not to, and thats evil and should change" and that bigotry is bad

A Disturbing Love Theory Rumi Wanted Everyone To Understand

Rumi, a 13th-century Persian poet, scholar, and Sufi mystic, had a way with words. His mind-bending truth about life and living it still resonates today. Rumi is one of the most widely read poets in the world. Rumi thought love wasn’t just a feeling but a spiritual and transformative force that connects us all. He observed that love can break down the barriers of the ego and help people reach a higher state of consciousness.

But he also argues that we pursue love the wrong way. His most powerful and disturbing truth is that love isn’t something we need to actively seek but something we can open ourselves to experience.

“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.” — Rumi

Love is not other people.

It’s not external. You don’t have to search for it. It’s already within you. “If I love myself I love you. If I love you I love myself,” notes Rumi. The real challenge is facing the barriers you’ve built against it. Our fears, insecurities, and past wounds block love from flowing freely. Rumi’s love theory is mind-bending because it forces me to look inward. It’s easier to blame others or believe that love just isn’t there.

But according to Rumi, love is always present.

“There is a candle in your heart, ready to be kindled. There is a void in your soul, ready to be filled. You feel it, don’t you?” ― Rumi

It’s my own walls that stop me from feeling love fully. It means I must confront parts of myself that I’ve ignored or avoided. For example, fear often holds people back from love. They are afraid of being hurt, rejected, or vulnerable.

The fear creates a barrier.

It makes them put up emotional walls. They distance themselves from others to protect themselves. But fear doesn’t protect us. It’s actually keeping love out. Rumi observed, “The wound is the place where the light enters you.” If you can make peace with your fear, you can start breaking down the barriers and let love in.

Rumi wants us to let go of control.

If I try to control my relationships, hoping to avoid pain, I will end up creating another barrier. The need to control prevents me from awakening myself to love. The real love we want requires trust, openness, and surrender. “Why are you knocking at every other door? Go, knock at the door of your own heart,” writes Rumi.

When I try to control love, I limit its power.

The only way to let love flow naturally is to release the temptation to control your experiences. “Life is a balance between holding on and letting go,” says Rumi. Shift your perspective to redefine your relationships. You will start to see love not as something you need to earn or find, but as something you must uncover within yourself.

The responsibility for love is with me, not with others.

“You have within you more love than you could ever understand,” Rumi said. His love theory demands I let go of old patterns and beliefs that no longer serve me. Love, according to Rumi, is about transformation. It’s about becoming the best version of myself by dismantling the barriers I’ve created.

Love has never been just a feeling; it’s a state of being.

It’s about being open, vulnerable, and present. It’s the fullness of life, with all its joys and challenges. Love is who I am when I remove the barriers that separate me from others. Rumi’s uncomfortable truth is powerful because it shifts the focus from seeking to becoming.

I no longer need to search for love outside of myself. I need to work on myself to clear the path for love to flow.

It’s not an easy process, but it’s worth it. The more I break down the barriers within me, the more love I will experience. “You have to keep breaking your heart until it opens,” says Rumi. Pure effortless love is selflessness, growth, and connection. If you don’t understand your insecurities and desires, they can interfere with how you relate to others.

I like what Rumi said: “Your heart knows the way, so run in that direction.”

I wish us all an effortless love life, free from fear, anger, pain, envy, jealousy, pain and every barrier that keeps love out. May we overcome our insecurities and doubts and break free from the barriers of love.

May we have the courage to dismantle the walls we’ve erected and the strength to fully open ourselves to experience love. For in overcoming these barriers, we find ourselves and the love we seek.

“What you seek is seeking you.” — Rumi
