Hey,

So I just reread your little guy and it goes reallynicely with the anti-men sentiment weve been

having these days. Some o the ideas seemedrather disjunctive at frst but came together in aninteresting way, so Im curious to see i the layoutwill aect how each section relates to another.

At frst the part about exclusionrelated toorgies and riendshipconused me a little; I

read it as exempliying the anarchist tendencyto attempt ull integration o everyonesdesires, sensitivities, and boundaries into oneconglomerate identity (in that case regardingsexual interests). Seems like this tendency notonly ignores actual dierences in what we desire,

but also lends itsel to manipulation. Because othe desperate eort to keep everyone on the samepage and comortable, radical circles create areplicable routine o interactions, which isnt allthat dierent rom the rest o society. Maybe thisincessant urge to avoid an imbalance o power

is not only diluting what some o us actuallywant rom our relationships, but is also givinganarchist men access to a mode o communicationthat oers them an undeserved audience and thetools to get what they want.

Te coolest part o the whole thing to me was thesuggestion that opposition to the anarchist manbe hysterical and sadistic, but also clever and

calculated. Lately my hesitance to say what theuck I wanna say and allow my cruelty to suracehas been insanely rustrating, because I have

some weird sense o obligation to the men aroundmeto be empathetic and understanding o theways they uck up.

Not to rant but I have yet another example.Recently I heard that ___ said Im into gettingbeat up because o daddy issues, knowing ull well

all o my history; obviously thats a really uckedup thing to say. I want to kick the shit out o himand degrade him until he cries, but every timeI see him I just pretend I dont know about hiscomment and wait or him to stop ogling me. Isome bro said that or looked at me that way Id

be all over his ass, but since there is this assumeda nity Im not able to act on what I want todo, similar to my situation with ___. I want tobe rantic and unleash a manic ury onto thesedumb-ass circle A dicks but Im outnumbered 10to 1. So scheming sounds pretty good.

Something Ive been thinking about lately is thatI dont know how to reconcile my desire to destroythe anarchist man with my desire to uck him.Tis leads me to think that maybe those urgesshouldnt be inherently separate... but I shouldprobably stop beore I try to make an argument

or civil heart war. :)

Im ascinated by lesbian separatists, i only becausethey based so much o their communities on this

speciic identity (emale, lesbian, and to a lesserextent, middle-class and white) that it became

irrelevant within the scene or whatever that theirpolitics were so based on it. Isnt that the argument

about Scandinavian social democracy, that theyare so homogeneous that it works? my question,

then, what is the critical mass at which dierencebecomes irrelevant? Im reminded o Baudrillards

as long as men in the scene continue to treat them as sex objects or orcethem to think about sexual violence at what are supposed to be sites oliberation. We need it to be the exception, not the rule, that the woman

The Anarchist Man is o the same

apparatus which links the Anarchist

Queer, the Anarcha-Feminist-Woman,and The Anarchist POC. This apparatus

can be best described as what remains o

antagonistic subjectivities and strategic

essentialism. I call this apparatus identity

politics, but we could also think o it asthe preconditions or the ormation o

the imaginary posteminist dictatorship,

which is the logical advancement o an

insurrectional eminism. Identity politics

is clearly a limited strategy. The sae-

spaces which were the basis o strategicessentialism, have all collapsed.
