CrackBabyBurnout said:Yeah because as we all know all men are evil overlords that feed feed on privilege while sitting on their patriarchal thrones and if you don't challenge and demonise them at every opportunity you're a traitor to the feminist cause.
They're not entitled to common courtesy, respect or the right not to be judged by their gender. Only women are entitled to that.
The 70's are over, you should leave your man-hating bullshit at home and start treating men (and people in general) as individuals. Because all you're doing is shitting all over the public image of feminism, putting off anybody (male or female) who isn't looking for a movement that exists simply to justify their hate.
She even says in her speech that feminism needs to stop being synonymous with man-hating, well that's never going to happen as long as people like you are acting (or in this case writing) the way you are.
I never said anything about man-hating. I just want everyone regardless of gender identity, race and religion treted with respect.
What I mean is that unequality is EVERYONE's problem, not just the ones that are being treated unfairly. I think more men should get involved in pushing for women's rights. (and I'm talking about equality, not superiority)
If no white people had gotten involved back in the 50's when black people in the United States were being treted bad and gone "Feeling oppressed? LOL, your problem" there would not have been any change.
Doing nothing to help, ignoring injustices when you see them is being a part of the problem.
