Hey all,
I wanted to reach out for some feedback. Seeking folks who would want to
facilitate or participate in a men's group.
I've previously participated in small groups like this and found them
beneficial for various reasons. I would like to see if folks have had
similar or different experiences.
The way I'm thinking about this would culminate in something like a regular
meeting for men in the sudo room community to discuss relevant issues
including those of identity, oppression, privilege, patriarchy, gender,
sexuality, stereotypes, safe space, and mutual support.
This may not be the best or even a viable path to approach these topics,
but I wanted to throw it out there to see if there is any interest.
Thanks,
Matt

I think its a great idea!
Would you mind linking to some resources that have explanations of what you're
thinking about more specifically? I think people may have very different ideas of what a
men's group might do. I can do some looking around later if need be.

New subject: Call for Facilitators / Participants in a sudo Men's Group
Hey all,
Positive responses at the weekly meeting. I started mulling it over more
and would like to add:
I'm basically reaching out for help to men who would like to actively
contribute to improving the performance of gender dynamics and to provide
space for healing and support in sudo room. Please consider contributing,
no experts required, just an open mind.
Max,
I don't have any particular resources in mind at the moment, want to be a
bit open-ended, see what makes sense, then do some research and document
along the way.

New subject: Call for Facilitators / Participants in a sudo Men's Group
As I see it - or perhaps I am wanting to see it this way - this Men's
group's purpose would be to combat mindlessly performing inculcated
patriarchal motions. And in the process of de-conditioning yourself as a
"man", becoming a convincing, subtle and non-naggy argument for other men
to do the same. Slowly doing what we can do restore a gender equitable
society, from our side (while knowing that we can't do it ourselves, that's
the sort of thinking that got us here in the first place).
So a thousand yeses to all of the above. But how do we do it? In person
meetings? Too self selecting. Online? Not visible enough. Making a charter?
Toothless. Doing volunteer work? Pointless doting.
Here's my suggestion, and I'm open to more. Be radical sudo men.
Do your dishes, and smash the platetriarchy.

But let's also meet and talk, I think it will be fruitful. Please share

Something that might be fruitful is creating a list of resources and
readings that are more easily digestible by geek men in particular, and of
course humans in general. I'm cc'ing Tom from Noisebridge, who's been
organizing a feminist book group for men at Noisebridge over the past
couple of months.

Thanks Jenny for the cc, (Hi Tom), and that sounds like a great first

New subject: Call for Facilitators / Participants in a sudo Men's Group
has there been any development on the sudo men's group meetings? i'm quite
interested in participating, but was hoping to learn more about the direction you guys are
taking.
relatedly, i was at the RightsCon discussion today about "Ending Violence Against
Women Online: No One's Liability, Everyone's Responsibility". very intriguing
to learn about how there are two tracks being pushed by the leaders in this space
internationally - one focused on gender neutral safe space concepts and one focused on
gender inclusivity in current online platforms. i think with matt & max's
leadership, there's a great deal that sudo men can contribute to these important
developments.

Tossing my hat in! Been wanting to start men's feminist circle myself. I
wonder if we can make this a skype call in or something. <3 Also, just
read this great little MVC essay which makes me think about hackerspace
interactions a lot

Thanks Jenny for the cc, (Hi Tom), and that sounds like a great first
agenda item for this little cluster, easily done on the sudo room wiki or
Noisebridge wiki, or both.

New subject: Call for Facilitators / Participants in a sudo Men's Group
Hello 6 year old thread!
I believe that the idea of a sudo room "Men confronting Patriarchy" group
never took off, but I think there is a way to move forward now. In the last
year I have been part of another local group "STAND
<http://standbayarea.com/>" which I really believe in. STAND is a group of
people who benefit from white, male privilege in the Bay Area engaging in
movements for racial, gender, and economic justice. Here are the details of
an upcoming workshop of theirs which I hope some sudo members can make:
*Title*Challenging White Male Supremacy Workshop
*Date and Time*
Sun, January 26, 2020
2:00 PM – 6:00 PM PST
*Location*
Sierra Club
#1300
2101 Webster Street
Oakland, CA 94612
*Cost*
Free
*Eventbrite link*
https://www.eventbrite.com/e/challenging-white-male-supremacy-workshop-tick…
*Description*
Are you (or do you know) someone who benefits from white male privilege and
is willing to contribute to racial, gender, and economic justice? Yes?
Great! There’s room for you. We need you. But what can you do, and how?
Join us for an afternoon to explore how we can show up with integrity,
imagination, and our whole selves. Is there one answer, one path?
Definitely (and thankfully) not! We’re not going to judge or tell you what
to do. Instead, we’ll learn how we’ve gotten to the moment we’re in, and
discuss ways you can leverage your position as a white man to help create a
world that’s more equitable and less oppressive.
Make a great day,
Max Klein ‽ http://notconfusing.com/

has there been any development on the sudo men's
group meetings? i'm quite
interested in participating, but was hoping to learn more about the
direction you guys are taking.
relatedly, i was at the RightsCon discussion today about "Ending Violence
Against Women Online: No One's Liability, Everyone's Responsibility". very
intriguing to learn about how there are two tracks being pushed by the
leaders in this space internationally - one focused on gender neutral safe
space concepts and one focused on gender inclusivity in current online
platforms. i think with matt & max's leadership, there's a great deal that
sudo men can contribute to these important developments.

Hi folks,
I don't have the time to make it out to Oakland much, nor the
bandwidth for another group. Thanks for thinking of me, and good luck!
