Why(t)- diss em - Power MEN (T)

Why (t) diss em Power MEN (t)

In my training of white men

learning of our racism, sexism and classism

at the very least

Men are (at least) honest

in saying

"I'm learning a lot,

But, it is very complicated".

Perhaps - for example

I have a lot of my work focus

on

Building the Wealth 

of

People - 

who have a lot of investments

I hear that Capitalism 

in the US of A

is a Key Problem

I want to help

End Racism

but first

I need to learn

and Understand

Far More

Than I Know - Now

Why Am I here?

I hear a lot - 

which makes Sense

Telling Me

That the "stories" of my life

are based upon

Racism, Sexism, Classism and Homophobia

that's a lot to hear

i Do Not know

Where

I should go

(the ghost) 

Intervenes in the Moment

You are dissing so many

through your finding

YourSelf

without any Action

to help them - really help them

with Far More

than a Few

Positive Words

Power

I don't feel like I have a lot of Power

Do I?

Perhaps - You Don't Understand

the breadth of the Power

that you clearly have

Men - of Whiteness

When will we get off of our Hi Horror's's

and Really Risk our Hearts and Souls

Getting Very, Very Uncomfortable

Very Quickly

Struggle, Really Struggle

rather than Fleaing

into our tiny selves

a little affected

but ultimately

Holding Up

the Systemic Racism,

Sexism,

Classism

and Much More

I find it Sad, Very Sad

that we remain - largely - disempowered

being soft and gentle

caring

in our

Dots

among

The Giants

smiling, sharing

but are we really caring - ?

beyond the gates - 

around our Lie-v's

Big Girls Don't Cry

BIG GIRLS DON'T CRY My father (Menachem) Imanuel Marx died Friday, November 13, 1964, when I was 13 years old.    My mother woke my brother and I up with the news early that morning.    We went to the hospital and saw him for the last time. I didn’t cry then.       Daniel and I went to school that day.   I didn’t tell anyone. Two days later at the funeral, I was still being “a man” (i.e. not crying).   Until I was in my second men’s group around age 31, I didn’t allow myself to cry .    I rationalized this by saying to myself:   “ How does x compare with the death of my father ?”. I am self-identified as a   Jewish man .    Growing up that meant being intellectual and not emotional .    Our Sabbath dinner was the only time in the week, when we couldn’t read at the table.    While I was “schooled” on feelings through my men’s work (, most significantly through helping co-found Men Stopping Rape, Inc. in 1983), it was only several months ago that I was able to first
