3 tops we defined:
Patriarchy & SexismBehaving
  • Men are supposed to make the first step in sexual approach
  • Men is the strong gender
  • →shows the 1st man - 2nd woman
System
  • Power lies in the hand of the man
  • Economic
  • Political/Decision
  • Religion (killed female; spiritual figures)
Male Socialisation
  • Being taught to act like a man
  • Hiding the emotions
  • Sports
  • Taking space
  • Expectation of intelligence through the models (→Artists, Philosophers)
  • Competition/pressure
  • Persistent socialisation
  • Sexual pressure
Male Privileges
  • masculine history & presence
  • societal expectation to not participate in care – work
  • perceived to be “smarter” and “competent”
  • perceived to be in leading role
  • given more space
  • societal acceptance to take more space than others
  • physical presence (in public)
  • no fear of sexual violence
  • strong role models
  • don’t need to think about pregnancy or contraception
  • relatively raised expectations
  •  we can decide if we want to think about sexism/male privilege or not
We tried to find examples from our experiences (RoR/Not RoR):
Expamles
  • Being raised to play soccer (story behind…)
  • RoR story (but also very much an everyday experience): 2 skilled persons were present but only the male was asked about stuff
  • Consent about 1 sexual activity doesn’t automatically include other activities
  • Expectations from yourself (or what you think society expects from you) and lack of talking (leads to things like harassment)
  • Adapting a specific masculine behaviour because of certain (but  common) situations (like feeling unsure of yourself → you base your  following behaviour in sexist normatives)
  • Men repeat content unnecessarily in groups (obviously RoR related too)
RoR Examples
  • easier for CIS-males to take roles in RoR (e.g. Maestra)
  • Taking notes is mostly done by women
  • Instrument balance (e.g. surdos)
  • Mansplaining in plenary         
  • for example: summarizing/ending a top because of a louder voice and not using hand signals)
  • Men ‘forcefully’ correcting other players playing unasked
  • Certain men reproduce more toxic masculinity (and less openness)
Finally we also came up with some approaches and ideas:
Approaches & Ideas
  • Asking more questions – speaking less about yourself
  • Actively talking about emotions
  • Observe emotions of others (but don’t assume ;))
  • Practice critical masculinity for example in your flat (eg. texts on the toilet door; having conversations)
  • Stop reproducing sexist behaviours because you think you are in a safe space and dont need to be a role model to others
Approaches & Ideas (RoR related)
  • Personally approaching people who reproduce forms of toxic masculinity
  • Speaking out loud if people behave badly (we even have the gender-sign for it)
  • FLINT-only Rehearsals
  • Find ways to get more FLINT-people to maestrate and to take the lead in general
