New Chauvinism?
A problematic account of violence against women and macho behaviour in the squatting movement of West Berlin in the early 1980s.
The original article is followed by some letters in response, some of which seem to excuse violence against women and other sexist behaviour.
A difficult read, which is presented here as an insight into the downsides of subcultural political scenes and not because we agree with it.
