DESCRIPTION:Fresno Radical Men's Discussion Night\n\nThe radical men's discussion night 
 is open to all who identify as men/male.  It's an opportunity to discuss 
 sexism, male-ness, feelings and relationships, and of course, 
 revolution.\n\nIn this patriarchal culture, boys and men often do not learn 
 to develop strong friendships and relationships with the other boys and men 
 in our lives.  It is hard for many of us to open up emotionally, to express 
 our feelings openly, and to freely explore our gender identity.  Males, 
 females, and others are shoved into binary gender categories, and this 
 limits all of us.  Men's discussion night is a safe space to open up to one 
 another, form bonds with other men, and freely explore who we are as 
 individuals.\n\nMen benefit from gender privilege and power, and this is 
 something we will discuss: how we men can struggle against sexism.  At the 
 same time, sexism hurts us all.    How have other men treated us throughout 
 our lives?  While patriarchal culture gives men power and privilege, we 
 often have roles and expectations thrust upon us that we did not choose.  
 How have we felt confined by gender roles and expectations?  How can we 
 confront sexism and patriarchy, deconstruct gender norms, and create 
 healthy, sustainable forms of masculinity and individuality?  \n\nThese 
 ideas are just part of a suggested framework.  The discussions will be open 
 to anything and everything.  Feel free to bring friends, discussion topics, 
 literature, vegan snacks, and anything else you can think of to make the 
 space more comfortable and aid our discussion.\n\nWe hope to see you in 
 March!  Until then, there's lots of good reading
