I haven't the faintest notion what possible revolutionary role white hetero- sexual men could fulfill, since they are the very embodiment of reactionary- vested-interest-power. But then, I have great difficulty examining what men in general could possibly do about all this. In addition to doing the shitwork that women have been doing for generations, possibly not exist? No, I really don't mean that. Yes, I really do.

Women are not inherently passive or peaceful. We're not inherently anything but human.

I am an artist and a political being as well.

An indigenous feminism has been present in every culture in the world and in every period of history since the suppression of women began.

For a poet, making poems is a way of viewing the world, being in the world, breathing.

I do believe deeply that all human beings, male and female, are sexual beings, most likely bisexual beings channeled this way and that by cultures terrified of boundary crossings without passports stamped gay or straight.

The "Otherizing" of women is the oldest oppression known to our species, and it's the model, the template, for all other oppressions.
