Männlichkeit & (pro)feministische Praxis. Im Gespräch mit den Herausgebenden des BOYkott Magazins

In the organizer's words:

With ULLA WITTENZELLNER and LUKAS TAU I Berlin

The gender system in which we live is characterized by violence and inequality. Women*, trans*, inter* and queer people have been fighting for decades for a fairer way of living together. But where are the men?

Cis men often benefit from patriarchal structures - consciously or unconsciously. Their contribution to change is essential in order to question and break down social power relations. But what does this mean in concrete terms? Is it enough to criticize "toxic masculinity" or does this term fall short?

Ulla Wittenzellner and Lukas Tau explore precisely these questions in their magazine. They show how patriarchal patterns continue to have an effect even in (supposedly) progressive contexts - and what men can do to change this.

This event is a space for reflection and exchange: What does self-criticism that goes beyond empty words look like? How can men actively contribute to a society free of domination and based on solidarity? How far do reflections on masculinities take us and where are the limits? Between criticism and fault-friendliness in the search for collective solutions and the responsibility of each individual. An evening about what a (pro)feminist practice can look like - and why it ultimately means a better life for everyone.

LUKAS TAU and ULLA WITTENZELLNER doubt, stumble and live in Berlin. Together, in their non-working time, they are publisher and editor of BOYkott magazine - non-profit and self-published.
