"If you're not sure how to join or build community and mutual aid - here is a quick primer: https://infosec.exchange/@tinker/113589807117870451. You have community where you are now, even if you're unaware of it. If you say "I can't do anything, I have to take care of my kids. I have a job. I don't want to starve. I'm fatigued" - it's because our system is designed this way. Its NOT YOU! It's intentional and systemic. So you have to join and build a new system and work with your neighbors to GET and GIVE support, food, shelter, all of it. Join mutual aid to make your life easier. AND to fight what is going on.".

text says,
“To say that straight men are heterosexual is only to say that they engage in sex (fucking exclusively with the other sex, i.e., women). All or almost all of that which pertains to love, most straight men reserve exclusively for other men. The people whom they admire, respect, adore, revere, honor, whom they imitate, idolize, and form profound attachments to, whom they are willing to teach and from whom they are willing to learn, and whose respect, admiration, recognition, honor, reverence and love they desire… those are, overwhelmingly, other men. In their relations with women, what passes for respect is kindness, generosity or paternalism; what passes for honor is removal to the pedestal. From women they want devotion, service and sex. Heterosexual male culture is homoerotic; it is man-loving.” by Marilyn Frye, The Politics of Reality: Essays in Feminist Theory
