Principle # 9 . continued ;
# 6 . TRUE EQUALITY is Womynkind's ultimate goal . As it is not dignified for a man to beat dumb animals , Womynkind in that spirit does not wish to dominate men . True equality however is as far away as the distance between truth and lies . Womynkind sees it simplistic to call the goal of " equal
pay for equal work " valuable , when that work is degrading , exploitative , or damages the environment . Violence against Womyn continues to be a gender issue . MEN beat WOMYN , and until MEN stop it , peace between us cannot exist . The role of men in Womynkind is to actively STOP thier brothers in " womyn slaughter " . Men do not however , have an equal say in deciding or granting Womyn their " rights " ( rights are not theirs to grant ) , or in setting the agenda by which womyn act to defend their rights .
My Comment ; The TRUTH is MEN have the POWER to BEAT , RAPE , and KILL womyn without REAL consequences . He will either get a SLAP on the wrist for BEATING her , a minimal , if any jail time for RAPE , and average of 5-7 yr. sentence for KILLING her . On the other hand , if a womyn KILLS her ABUSER she receives an average sentence of 20 yrs. to LIFE . The LIE being that MEN really care about womyn's welfare . That's one reason why there are 1,600 BATTERED womyn's shelters , compared to 4,000 Animal shelters . Where are MEN'S priorities ? If a MAN beats a WOMYN she should KILL HIM ! It wouldn't take very many KILLS to CHANGE MEN'S
minds ( smaller case minds on purpose ) . Then MEN might LISTEN a little better to what WOMYN have to say . In my college philosophy class , where I did my first performance on violence against womyn , I asked one of the guys this question ; If I asked you to share your power with me would you ? Of course not , he replied . If I held a gun to your head and said , Give me some of your power , would you ? YES , he said , of course I would ! Think about it WOMYN , and then DO SOMETHING !
