Perhaps the part of story is about: how do we as men relate to women in ‘progressive’ organisations? Do we see them as equal partners in the struggle? Or do we see them as ‘projects’? As ‘progressive’ individuals, we need to do a lot of introspection. I think our liberation movements had a ‘two-stage’ approach to women’s struggles. It looked like we were saying, “Liberation first! Gender and women’s emancipation later!’ Maybe we need to revisit the manner in which we have understood the role of women in our struggles. As individuals and collectives, we have a lot of ‘homework’! We also need a very strong women’s movement which can hold all of us accountable. I also think unprincipled factionalism muddies the waters.
