I cannot ignore masculinity in the construction of my femininity. It is naive and ignorant. I will perhaps have children some day, far in the future. If I ignore masculinity & how it is harmed by patriarchy, how can I help those men grow up to not be abusive? How can I allow these future men to develop positive images of their masculinity and their blackness? Too many people are willing to only discuss blackness as it pertains to those "useless" men around them. But when you bring men into the world, how will you ensure that they contribute positively to the world around them? Is your blind anger and hatred going to help you assist them in construction of a positive image?
