Smash the Patriarchy November

Here are your tools:





(It’s a little hammer.)

Carry them with you wherever you go. When you see something misogynistic, either mark it up or smash it up. If it’s in a store remember: You don’t have to destroy it, you just have to make it unsellable (and therefore unprofitable for the store to stock).

TIPS

This shit is illegal and if you get caught you will be in trouble–and I take no responsibility for what you do–so keep that in mind, BUT here are some ways to be safer.

Don’t side-eye around to see if anyone is watching you. Nobody is paying you any attention ‘cause you’re just a little woman, remember? Use that to your advantage.

Act like you’re supposed to be doing what you’re doing, not like you’re doing something wrong. People will assume you are correct. If you want to smash a misogynist bumper sticker, act like it’s your car. When you’re done, WALK AWAY. Don’t look up. That’s where cameras are. Wear bland clothes that mask any readily identifying features as much as possible (such as crazy colored hair). Mostly though, and it’s worth saying twice, ACT LIKE YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO BE DOING WHAT YOU’RE DOING THEN JUST WALK AWAY. Lastly, hurt things never people.

You aren’t looking to be offended, but there’s no reason you shouldn’t be able to respond when misogyny is thrown into your face or your path.
