Share this article

In, of course, The Washington Post. “So men, if you really are #WithUs and would like us to not hate you for all the millennia of woe you have produced and benefited from, start with this: Lean out so we can actually just stand up without being beaten down,” Suzanna Danuta Walters, a professor of sociology and director of the Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Program at Northeastern University, writes. “Pledge to vote for feminist women only.”

“Don’t run for office.” Walters is the editor of the gender studies journal Signs. “Don’t be in charge of anything,” she advises.” Step away from the power.”

“We got this. And please know that your crocodile tears won’t be wiped away by us anymore. We have every right to hate you. You have done us wrong. #BecausePatriarchy. It is long past time to play hard for Team Feminism. And win.”
