One of the implicit promises of fascistic misogyny is that stripping freedom from women will give men more freedom.
But it's a lie. Men aren't free in a patriarchal system. And in a sex-segregated patriarchal system, they spend more of their time around other men who seek to control them.

In this interesting new article, Lucas Gottzén argues that "feminist scholarship should ... develop models that help men critique neoliberal politics and late capitalism, rather than merely encouraging men to recognize a shared ontological vulnerability." doi.org/10.1332/3033...

The university is a relational space.
It isn’t a repository to knowledge that is meted out to those who pay an entrance fee. It isn’t someplace where some teach and others learn.
Instead, the university is a community. Learning happens in community. Knowledge is developed in community.
