Dear NvT, This article is an explanation of my accompanying notice. On my recent journeyings through the south of this land, I had the happy chance to chat and gossip with many friends. Some of the gossip referred to behaviour of fellow activists which I find offensive. It seems some male activists are maintaining sexual relationships with (bonking) more than one partner. I'm not concerned about this, but I am when these people lie to to their sex partners about the existence of their other sex partners. I designate this dishonesty "sexual treachery". I include lying by omission. Certainly women can be responsible for this reprehensible behaviour as well, but I haven't heard of any such occurrences. The real issue is honesty. Honesty and trust. If an activist is prepared to lie to their sex partners, how am I to trust this person to honour activist agreements? Patriarchy also comes into it. I would say that one of the classical symptoms of a man disempowering a woman is when he lies to her face about fidelity. At the 1993 gathering, there was a fair bit of talk about accountability. I ask people who consider themselves participants in the nonviolence network to attend to my notice below. James Langley Notice - Sexual Treachery James Langley hereby undertakes to instigate conflict with any self identifying participants in the nonviolence network who, it has been established, commit sexual treachery.
