We can't find justice for all AA when some are oppressed by virtue of gender. Feminism would right those wrongs, for all. #HyperMasculAZNs

I would love nothing else than for our community to see how feminist principles are inextricably linked to racial justice. #HyperMasculAZNs

Acknowledging gender privilege does not alleviate or weaken experiences of racism. It's not a race to be most oppressed. #HyperMasculAZNs

But male privilege is not TM's flawed understanding of manhood. Male priv is not defined solely by access to sex and women. #HyperMasculAZNs

Some in my blog mistake alpha manhood with male privilege. They say "emasculation" stereotypes mean AA men are not priv. #HyperMasculAZNs

Violence of #HyperMasculAZNs is t always physical. The erasure - of women, non-conforming, gay AA - by TM is political violence.

In AA communities, some end up treating gay men as "lesser than a man." It goes w/out saying how problematic that is. #HyperMasculAZNs

Manhood & queerness are mutually exclusive under TM. This enables breathtaking homophobia, transphobia among TM adherents. #HyperMasculAZNs

Because TM is explicitly coded as straight, it leaves masculinity completely inaccessible to queer men. #HyperMasculAZNs
