− | A silencing tactic used against male feminist [[allies]] commenting on sexist incidents is to point out that an ally is '''not a woman''' and thus can't identify sexism, or is patronising women by identifying sexism and thus presuming women are weak and need help and taking care of. |
||
− | It is in fact possible for intending allies to be [[Condescension|condescending]] in their actions, but the mere fact of being male and speaking out against sexism is not automatically so. |
||
+ | I used to think |
||
− | This tactic is sometimes part of a double bind, in which some defenders of an action do not accept criticism from women because the women are [[Not an insider|outsiders]], or [[You're being emotional|too emotional]], or similar, and others do not accept criticism from men, because they aren't women. |

I used to think
I had the answers to everything,
But now I know
Life doesn't always go my way, yeah...
Feels like I'm caught in the middle
That's when I realize...
I'm not a girl,
Not yet a woman.
All I need is time,
A moment that is mine,
While I'm in between.
I'm not a girl,
There is no need to protect me.
It's time that I
Learn to face up to this on my own.
I've seen so much more than you know now,
So don't tell me to shut my eyes.
I'm not a girl,
But if you look at me closely,
You will see it in my eyes.
This girl will always find
Her way.
I'm not a girl (I'm not a girl don't tell me what to believe). Not Yet a woman (I'm just trying to find the woman in me, yeah). All I need is time (All I need), A moment that is mine (That is mine), While I'm in between.
I'm not a girl Not yet a woman (not now) All I need is time (All I need), A moment that is mine, While I'm in between.
I'm not a girl, Not yet a woman.
