Animal lisa taddeo plot5/18/2023 ![]() I am thinking of the man who thought to explain the importance of Rebecca Solnit’s book to her without realizing she was the author I am thinking of politicians that deem it their place to tell BIPOC demonstrators what they should be satisfied with as they protest for their right to a life free from systemic racism and terror the men who throw tantrums at having to wear face coverings in the thick of a pandemic, and question the push for vaccinations under the guise of “my body my choice”-oblivious to their inane irony. I realize that I am speaking in broad terms, generalizing all straight white men (and I am not trying to evoke a response of #notallmen, because, of course). Their work seems to be in service of shaping the world in their image alone, working to cling onto power even though their relevance continues to shrink. Too often, too many suck the oxygen out of discourse leaving no space for others to speak and reducing everything down to another version of mansplaining. ![]() ![]() As a cisgender white male, I am least interested in what cisgender white males have to say. ![]()
