Truest statement of the week

A genuine alliance with male radicals will not be possible until sexism sickens them as much as racism. This will not be accomplished through persuasion, conciliation, or love, but through independence and solidarity; radical men will stop oppressing us and make our fight their own when they can't get us to join them on any other terms.

Ellen Willis wrote the above in 1969 ("Up from Radicalism: A Feminist Journal"). It was true then and, outrageously, it's only more so today.
