We constantly encounter on activists sexist men and cons productive to our struggles. Men who define themselves as activists and against women, especially against militant actions have more than doubtful. Whether in associations, unions, even where parties "far left" ... We can not afford to keep them in our ranks! We are wasting our time and energy by being forced to fight in our voluntary groups, political and trade union. Feminism, anti-sexism are not adjectives that any pseudo activist may claim all by speaking and having questionable acts and totally sexist. It is common that some activists define themselves as anti-sexist to be "accept" in organizations without really knowing what it is. Unfortunately, these pseudo activists forget that feminism is not a fad but a cause, defended and primordial for us women. It is our duty to distinguish activists untrained es who want change and those who refuse training.
These must be regarded as obstacles to feminist and anti-sexist and therefore be evacuated from sandstone or strength of our community. What to Limoges is not particularly because of friendly relations, music, for fear of conflict ... What is unacceptable in our community.
The famous slogan 'the fascism that it eliminates the rot or we die "and many" sexism is also gangrene it is removed or we die. " So why the same means are not employed in both cases? Why some by their silence they condone sexism? All this again contributes to the oppression of women, including activists, who feel unsupported in such cases! Finally, in addition to suffering from sexist attacks, they find themselves being forced to justify and to undergo again the male domination.
Obviously we have no illusions, everyone has the reflexes sexist due to societal conditioning we experience. But as activists we must make to reduce these reflexes and constantly question themselves. It is important not to reproduce the domination that we claim to condemn. He does not want to destroy capitalism, patriarchy, fascism, sexism should still understand how it works and include in our fight feminist struggles, to change behaviors and social model. Nicks activists with sexist behavior only reinforce the mechanisms of a patriarchal system still very prevalent in our society.
We can not accept to hear in our community that "women are physically inferior to men and that this can be proved scientifically." These words are more offensive and that the right questions are not asked. The conditioning of women to specific tasks and less physical is not even included in this kind of reasoning and do not measure the weight of the packaging.
activists should no longer accept or not to respond to intimidation, used by activists remettrent nicknames for them when they dare to oppose their ideas. Whether raising his voice or lost his temper in it already constitutes an assault accompanied by threats in most cases!
activist either within an organization or a personal view which can threaten a woman must suffer through the middle pressure or at least accountable to these principles.
The problem is that currently everyone is anti-sexist, feminist, pro-feminist who knows where else, but everyone left to do and it destroys the militant core, some within it feel ignored . The cloth
Burns attisons it sexist denounced the actions that take place in militant circles and specifically those he has faced in Limoges!
Feminists despite attacks ensure they are being!

We are a collective of feminist women and men working on various anti-sexist questions about relationships between men and women. We think about different topics that concern us this resulting in a monthly newspaper: "The Sparks Fly attisons it"
