I love this quote. What I take from it is that men are not male allies. Men are not adjacent to the issue. Men are in the thick of it. Men have experienced gender-based violence their whole lives, every inadequate performance of masculinity resulting in a paper cut of patriarchy in the form of:
Attacks on our sense of self, our sense of safety, our sense of belonging and worth as we are. This leads to statistics that show men are not only the primary perpetrators of violence, but aside from gender-based violence as defined across genders, we are more likely to be victims of all other forms of violence at the hands of other men.
At this point, I think we can say a couple of things with certainty. Everyone in this room wants to end gender-based violence, and anyone engaging in violence is likely not fine and has not been fine for a while. As I see it, to end gender-based violence, we need to start where it begins. Our approach is to meet boys and men where they live, learn, work, and play and turn those into more positive spaces for them.
What does that look like? It looks like starting a discord server for teenage boys during the height of the pandemic to stay connected, that not only hosts Minecraft missions and Dungeons and Dragons dynasties but creates space for open and honest reflections on what it means to mature from a boy into a man in 2023. One youth went so far as to say it is the safest space for boys on the Internet.
It also looks like taking some of these extremely online boys on hikes in the Rockies or canoe trips in the Kawartha Lakes. Perhaps bear country and portages are not as safe as the discord server, but imagine becoming a man through challenge by choice, and the spirit of collaboration, courage and connection with a whole group of other boys.
This work also looks like running a book that is B.O.O.K. (Beyond Our Own Knowledge Club) for over 650 men in male dominant industries over the past three years, reading works from authors outside the dominant narratives of white, straight, cisgender males in the business world.
The fact that we are experiencing changes in how we see, act, and think about masculinity from generation to generation gives me hope that we are building a future where boys and men feel less pain and cause less harm. Thank you.
I have then of course faced gender-based violence as a young girl, as a masculine-presenting women, as a transgender person, and most unexpectedly, as a drag performer who just wanted to read some stories to kids.
On occasion, we would receive emails which were a little bit offensive to us. They were often threatening and sometimes littered with Bible quotes. Instagram gives you an opportunity to block certain words, so I had to sit there and think of every offensive, nasty thing that we could be called so that I could block it.
There have been so many changes in the Storytimes, particularly around the past eight months. However, with the arrival of the pandemic and the unhinged conspiracy theories and the hate, we have noticed an uptick in threats which have become increasingly violent in nature.
A huge, massive shout-out to brave librarians who have championed our Storytimes from the inception of Fay & Fluffy tory time. When we go to events now, we are actually embraced with open arms. We are actually also given detailed maps and clandestine routes in order to avoid the harassment. Often there are police presences in those spaces which totally go against a lot of what we believe in.
One of the most offensive sights that we saw that day was these groups of people have appropriated orange shirts and they are now wearing orange shirts with the hashtag #SaveOurChildren and a ill-written endorsement of military hero worship, which really just broke our hearts, but we remained, and we did our storytime and we will never back down.
As much as we love what we are doing, as much as we have been embraced by kids and families across Canada and around the world, children are still being harassed in schools. Several of the kids in our circle are being harassed, bullied, and facing physical violence in their schools based on their gender presentations. Families are being verbally assaulted at our shows.
So, we want children to see their communities reflected around them in what we do. They deserve to see that and the literacy they consume. It is our duty to be there for those children and uplift their voices and celebrate who they are as they have embraced us so much.
A landmark report by UNESCO in 2021 titled, The Chilling, which featured journalists from all around the world, said that the abused journalist face is designed to belittle, humiliate, and shame women to scare us into silence and retreat.
Journalists of colour are canaries in the proverbial coal mine. The first recipients of abuse, whose concerns have long been ignored and dismissed. Around the time COVID hit came abuse, increasing abuse for white women, and now the targets have spilled over into advocacy groups, academia, educators, healthcare professionals, anyone on a social media platform.
A few years ago, when I was alerted that my name and photo were being circulated in white supremacist forums, I had to clean up my social media, take down any photos of my children, make sure my residence could not be identified.
The UNESCO report that I referred to earlier on online violence calls this phenomenon, which is very common in Canada, dogpiling. It involves not just fringe networks but publicly identifiable political actors and male journalists.
CC the journalist. It makes them feel seen. I get these and every one of them is worth a dozen, dozens of hate mails that I receive. It tells the establishment that the public is watching and the public cares.
And lastly, introspect continuously: Why do I think what I think? What assumption did I just make about that Black person, that homeless person, that disabled person, that trans person? And how would I have responded if that same person was a white man in a suit?
We surely need stories about Indigenous people, Indigenous women and girls in general to shift. And we absolutely need to speak up. No more silence. As the colonial hangover of systemic anti-Indigenous female violence means that each day we leave the house, we might not make it home alive.
Even though we make up only 4% of the female population in Canada, we made-up 25% of all female homicide victims in this country. And stereotyping, those myths that victim-blame also often result in impunity for crimes against Indigenous women.
I think of Ramona Wilson. She was 16 in 1994. She had a mother, a sister and nephews, friends, a community that loved her. She was the responsible one in her friend group. She was a poet. She had a belief in a higher power.
I was so proud to see members of my nation, my elders, my uncles. They were strong. They were wise. They were brilliant. They were creative. They were fierce. I was so excited to turn on the TV and see my people represented.
And so, I decided then, it was my fight. It was my time to turn the narrative around, using my voice. Only, I was becoming a stereotype, myself. At barely 13, I was being abused in the home. I was being brutally bullied at school. And not long after I was forced on the street. Living under bridges, group homes and abandoned buildings became my norm.
Someone believed in me. Not just believed in me, they believed me. They believed my pain. They believed when I talked about colonial violence. They believed in my journey. And they believed in my gifts.
Hello all - I've owned two previous first gen legacies. Most recently I had a 1990 L package that I put a lot of miles on in a short period of time. I purchased it for $900 and got way more out of it than I paid. Unfortunately the previous owner's lapse on maintenance eventually caught up and multiple issues cropped up all at once that made it not worth pouring money into.
It's been about 18 months and I find myself longing for that wagon back. In short I'm okay with a wrench and love working on these first gens but I'm looking for another in very good shape. I'm not looking for a project but rather something that's been cared for nicely. I'm curious if someone can point me to any resources that indicate options/packages available on the first gen. My wagon was an auto but had the full sun/moon roof and a nifty 'height' feature that allowed the vehicle to be raised a bit for more clearance - this feature came in handy quite often while living in a small mtn town in Western CO. I'd love to find that same package again but would love to snag one with a manual if possible.
Thanks Mike - according to that that option (height adjustable air suspension) was only available in '91 with an auto trans. I know it was available in '90 as well. This is still helpful though. It appears that all the options I'd like are only available on the auto versions. Does anyone have other resources that dive deep into the first generation wagon models?
Sentimentality aside, I'm particularly attracted to the first gens because 1) I love the interior and exterior of the vehicles along w/ so many other early 90's Japanese vans, hatches, and wagons and 2) for someone like me who is mechanically inclined but not a car guy/tinkerer, they are a breeze to work on.
For my life style a vehicle is a tool to get me out and about faster but I get my thrills on the bike. I've come to love the early 90's Legacy wagons and early 90's Toyota Previas because of the AWD/4WD option respectively and their capacity to carry my bikes and others and both allow enough room for sleeping inside w/ the pup during inclement weather. Outside of those reasons, the price on both vehicles is nearly always appealing and I've never been one to take out auto loans - the best vehicle is the one that's fully paid for (and AWD).
