More than a hat

Little steps matter

The things that I believe women and men deserve may not happen in my lifetime, or my daughter’s lifetime, or my nephew’s lifetime; but that does not mean that I give up; that means that every little step I take towards achieving those goals is one less step they will have to take.

The following day, I attended a workshop about preventing gender violence, facilitated by Katz. There, he posed a question to all of the men in the room: “Men, what things do you do to protect yourself from being raped or sexually assaulted?”

Not one man, including myself, could quickly answer the question. Finally, one man raised his hand and said, “Nothing.” Then Katz asked the women, “What things do you do to protect yourself from being raped or sexually assaulted?” Nearly all of the women in the room raised their hand. One by one, each woman testified:

“I don’t make eye contact with men when I walk down the street,” said one.
“I don’t put my drink down at parties,” said another.
“I use the buddy system when I go to parties.”
“I cross the street when I see a group of guys walking in my direction.”
“I use my keys as a potential weapon.”

The women went on for several minutes, until their side of the blackboard was completely filled with responses. The men’s side of the blackboard was blank. I was stunned. I had never heard a group of women say these things before. I thought about all of the women in my life — including my mother, sister and girlfriend — and realized that I had a lot to learn about gender.

“It’s all about being the cause of an erection. That’s our value. And if you don’t give them an erection, then you’re a fucking heretic. And if you’re fat like me and you don’t give a shit if you give them an erection or not, then they really hate you. I don’t give a fuck.”
