A9 The Blame Game 3. Report back: Bring everyone together into a large circle. Ask one person from each group to stand in the middle of the circle and read out the names on their flipchart, starting with “This is what you say about me _______.” After all lists have been read out, ask the following questions: How would you feel if you were called these names? How would you feel if your sister or brother were called these names? Why do we use such hurtful language? What are the assumptions behind some of these names? Example Responses: How would you feel if you were called these names? Sad. Hurt. Angry. Ashamed. Embarrassed. Unfairly treated. Rejected. Miserable. Their words are insulting. It makes me sad and ashamed. I wish I could die. It makes me feel unfairly treated. It’s no fault of mine that I am MSM. I’m going to hide my MSM identity from others so I won’t be stigmatized. I feel hopeless. All my confidence is gone. I don’t know how I will survive. 84
Naming Stigma toward MSM 4. Summary: Bring the session to a close by summarizing the main points which participants have made during the exercise. In giving your summary you may use some of the following points, if they have not already been mentioned by participants. We are socialized or conditioned to judge other people. We judge people based on assumptions about their sexual and other behavior. Sex is a taboo, something shameful that we should not talk about. So we often shame and blame people whose sexual behavior is different from ours. MSM, entertainment workers, people living with HIV, and even widows were all labeled as sexually immoral on the flipcharts. They were called “sex crazy,” “irresponsible” and “AIDS carriers.” The judgments in this case are based on sexual morality. These are disadvantaged/vulnerable groups who are lacking in power. They are stigmatized partly because they have limited power to resist these labels. All of these labels show that when we stigmatize, we stop dealing with people as human beings. We forget their humanity (by using mocking or belittling words) and this gives us a feeling of power and superiority over them. All of these labels are based on assumptions in which we have insufficient information. They are generalizations which have no validity. We simply assume that “the other people” are “dirty, disgusting, useless, sex crazy,” etc. We attribute characteristics to a group and everyone who belongs to that group. We assume that all members of that group have the same characteristics, e.g., that all MSM are sex crazy. Stigmatizing words are very strong and insulting. These words have tremendous power to hurt, humiliate and destroy people’s self-esteem. When we “shame and blame” MSM, it is like stabbing them with a knife. 85
