Drawing on her trademark skill, wit, clarity, and sharp insight, Soraya
Chemaly walks us through how male supremacy operates, adapting
dynamically in order to maintain cruel, exploitative systems of
oppression.
Male supremacy, she asserts, isn’t primarily about men dominating
women; but rather a system that first and foremost violently pits men
against each other using women and marginalized communities as
resources in their competition for power. Under this system, anyone who
isn’t white, straight, CIS, and adhering to strict rules of traditional
masculinity is considered inferior and rendered “other”—women, LGBTQ+
people, people of color, immigrants, religious minorities, the
disabled, and Black and Indigenous communities. Being feminized defines
vulnerability, exploitability, and disposability.
There is no justice for any community until we confront this defining
injustice. Most men don’t have to benefit from this system or feel
powerful for this system to work, indeed only a relatively few do.
While women, particularly those with multiple marginalized identities,
are hurt the most, men, too, need liberation from this oppressive
system.
All We Want Is Everything offers both unflinching analysis and genuine
hope, informed by the bold and revolutionary potential of feminist
imagination. From private relationships to global politics, Chemaly
shows how naming and refusing male supremacy is essential to resisting
the forces tearing democracy apart. This fresh, timely, clear-eyed, and
necessary manifesto is a call to refuse supremacist identities,
relationships, and values in order to build more just, healthy, and
sustainable worlds for everyone.
