Not me...
I find myself at a lot of events with self proclaimed anarchists. Like most people, some are chill, some engaging, some are quite annoying. In my Gonzo journalistic quest for amusement and fulfilment, I have talked to many anarchists and found we have much in common: love of personal freedom, love of reading, acrimony towards the state, anti-facism, interest in alternative history and media, environmental issues, and the expansion of personal and collective consciousness. And many of the women are crazy hot. "Patriarchist!" shrieks a skinny gentlemen in the Buddy Holly glasses wearing a No Gods No Masters No Showers t-shirt. Nope. Not at all. Simply an observation. "Objectifier! Oppressor!" hollers the unshaven, Rebenesque woman. Nope. I simply find that many anarchist women are beautiful creatures and far easier to talk to the men. For people that advocate tolerance and inclusivity (provided you support what they support), I find it amusing that appearance and presence sets so many of the men ill at easy. I keep my hair very short and when I do have facial hair I choose to keep it neat and not Amish. I choose to have no ink (I have yet to find anything compelling or meaningful enough for self decoration) and I chose to let my piercings grow in. I wearing comfortable clothing but it's laundered and not all black. Perhaps its because I weigh more than any two of the men. The looks I get from many straight anarchist men (and some of the gay women) is one that transcends political ideology and sexual orientation: hey bro, not sure who you are but I don't dig you talking to our women. Kind of an odd statement for a group that claims to be so down with feminism and polyamory. No worries ladies and gentlemen, your women can take care of themselves.
