There is too much death, overwhelming suffering and centuries of oppression at the hands of straight White males, and w/varying degrees of ‘religious’ conditioning.
There was yet again another mass killing at the hands of a straight White male last night in Georgia. I am so tired of this. So sick. And so sorry for my sisters, and for all those in the marginalized Asian community still under attack especially because the predatory former television reality actor and criminal business person kept referring to Covid-19 with a myriad of anti-Asian ethnic slurs.
Straight White males, we are required to change. What is being asked of us that too few of us are answering is part of our soul’s calling NOW during our time on Earth. To fix patriarchal systems of White supremacy. This message is primarily to you, and requires your activation:
If you are a male and your interests or advances are rejected by a woman - her body does not belong to you and you do not get to abuse, rape, or kill her.
If you are a male and you are politely turned down by a woman - her body does not belong to you and you do not get to abuse, rape, or kill her.
If you are a male and a female was rude to you, objects to you, makes fun of you, humiliates you in a group of people, or she was a jerk to you - her body does not belong to you and you do not get to abuse, rape, or kill her.
If you are a male and your religion teaches you that you are sexually pure ONLY if you wait to have sex until after you marry a woman - it’s time to find a new God.
If you are a male - sexual thoughts and lust are natural and normal. You alone are responsible for them and behaving accordingly, though. Females are not. Females are not to blame and they are not responsible for your sexual temptations. Female bodies, trans bodies, male bodies, everybody else’s body in the world! does not belong to you and you do not get to abuse, rape, or kill them.
And a word about masturbation: Private personal sexual exploration and self-intimacy are not shameful. Hear this. Sex is a natural and healthy part of our human experience and expression. Masturbation is a wonderful outlet given to us, and we may use it to know more about ourselves; what we like, how we like to feel, how we may one day please a lover, etc. Masturbation does not make us dirty or sinful.
Can this be the standard all males will be held up to without exceptions? Normalize behaving in this way. Normalize being so personally activated that we uplift and enlighten those around us so males are not only held to but maintain this standard as we pass our knowledge to the younger generations.
