The London Profeminist Men's Group has been meeting for more than 9 months now. For us, the experience of meeting together as men has been very positive, especially in terms of deconstructing our role in patriarchy as oppressors, understanding how we became men, mutual support and raising our consciousness.

Members of the group have decided that we would like to start a brand new gender discussion group open to people of all genders. At this point we feel we'd like to create:

• A constructive dialogue about gender politics between people of all genders which has a clearly feminist perspective.
• A group which takes the feminist principle "the personal is political" seriously and aims to create a space where we can talk openly about our own experiences of gender, of perpetuating oppression and of being oppressed.
• A group in which we would support each of us both in our individual struggles with our gender conditioning and in our political activism.

The possibilities for this group are pretty much endless, so why not get involved and help shape what the group will do and how it will work.

Please do get in contact if you're interested ( newfeministgroupforallgenders@googlemail.com) and come along to our first meeting at the London Action Resource Centre (LARC, 62 Fieldgate Street, E1 1ES) on Sunday 19th October at 3pm. Oh, and tell all your friends!

The men's group will continue to meet, probably on the weeks in between the gender inclusive meetings. The group can be contacted on  londonprofeministmensgroup@gmail.com, or check out the blog, londonprofeministmensgroup.blogspot.com
