[lbo-talk] Graber on consensus

[Wojtek S]

Shag: "i'd also point out that, as Graeber notes, the bulk of what
gets done in direct action circles is done by women. from my
perspective, direct action/anarchist feminists also play a significant
role in all the efforts to keep social movements going these past
forty years. "

[WS:] Good point, I noticed that too.  It is also interesting to
observe a certain form of the division of  direct action labor in the
anarchist circles that follows rather conventional gender roles.
Women do the person-to-person caring work, the rape crisis center, the
health centers, the nurse-midwife collectives that you mention.
Males, otoh, move to the public stage - fighting cops, breaking
windows, occupying public spaces and engaging in other forms of
typical male assertiveness and violence.
