The Female Male ID "Wars"... or Great Divide

BullDog · 05-27-2010, 04:09 PM

I'm going to repeat something I said in another thread:

I do get frustrated sometimes that when I am speaking up about certain things that it is taken as all I care about is my id. When I am speaking up about women- whether it be butch women or other topics related to women- I am not out there trying to promote my id.

The fact that butch women do not always receive the respect and visibility they should is a symptom of an even greater problem- which is sexism and misogyny. It's not about me promoting my individual id to trump others.

So I may be speaking from my I/me place, but I am really talking about much larger and deeper issues. That often gets lost and it frustrates me.
