“No one ever asks what a man’s role in the revolution is”: Gender and sexual politics in the Black Panther Party 1966-1971



See the eighth page (pg 239). According to Matthews, the women interviewed who were apart of the Black Panthers held several criticisms of Women’s Liberation Movement; that they didn’t address class struggle or national liberation, that they faced dramatically different challenges given the different demographics (black, working-class and predominantly white, middle-class) and some had a tendency towards anti-male and female separatism which they disagreed with. The two references cited are:
