\r\nThis conference strives to be a part of a movement towards the elimination of male privilege, domination and sexism by creating dialogue, educating ourselves, and inspiring action.\r\n<\/p>
\r\nWhat is patriarchy and how is it interlocked with white supremacy, colonialism, heterocentrism, classism, capitalism, ageism, ableism, anti-Semitism, speciesism, and all other forms of hierarchy?\r\n<\/p>
\r\nWhat are the practices and results of male domination, privilege and sexism?\r\n<\/p>
\r\nWhat does it mean to be a woman or man in patriarchal cultures? How do these roles limit us? If we could get out of these roles, what kind of folks would we like to be?\r\n<\/p>
\r\nWhat does it mean to be intersex and\/or trans\/ and\/or genderqueer in patriarchal cultures? What does it mean to be lesbian, bisexual, or gay in patriarchal cultures?\r\n<\/p>
\r\nHow do we go about answering these questions?\r\n<\/p>
\r\nThrough presentation, dialogue, and performance we hope to broach these questions with intellect and emotion, furthering an understanding of ourselves and the complexity and interconnectedness of oppressions. \r\n\r\nThen, through the weekend: \r\nDisability and Community \r\nSpeaking Out About Sexism \r\nthe Power of an Ally \r\nWomen and the Prison Industrial Complex \r\nLooking at Privilege \r\nSex Positivity for Survivors of Sexual Abuse \r\nthe Radical Nature of Healing \r\nClass and Patriarchy \r\nPolyamorous Discussion \r\nEffortless Power \r\nMarriage Promotion \r\nWelfare Racism \r\nImagine Revolution \r\nCultural and Mental \"Illness\" \r\nThe Sexual Politics of Animal Liberation \r\nDiscussions on Multi-Ethnicity \r\nRape Culture \r\nDomestic Violence 101 \r\nFertility Awareness \r\nHands-on Media \r\nPermaculture \r\nTrans 101 \r\nSexism in Communities of Color \r\nHerbs and Health Care \r\nHomophobia and Male Trust \r\nEugenics \r\nIntersex Activism \r\nFatphobia \r\nKeys to Effective Facilitation \r\nAnti-Racism for White Folks \r\nPatriarchy in the Squatting Movement \r\nPatriarchy and Global Capitalism \r\nDomestic Violence and Immigration \r\nSelf Defense for Women \r\nDemystifying Sexwork \r\nHeterosexism \r\nThe State and the AIDS Myth \r\nAddressing Oppression \r\nand Clitoral Revelation! \r\n\r\n\r\n<\/p>\n","contact":"","link":"http:\/\/www.againstpatriarchy.org","address":"","phone":"","parent_id":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","summary":"january 24-26, 2003 in eugene, oregon\r\n*Free and open to everyone!*","numcomment":2,"fileurl":"\/uploads\/2003\/01\/cuidadofem.jpg","filesize":"5.8 kibibytes","article_url":"\/news\/2003\/01\/26198.php","image":{"original":"\/uploads\/2003\/01\/cuidadofem.jpg","small":"\/uploads\/2003\/01\/cuidadofem.jpgthumb.jpg"}},"attachments":[{"id":26199,"heading":""i don't want a piece of the pie,","article":"i want a whole new recipe"\r\n
