feminist as in "tear down unjust hierarchies", and definitely not feminist as in "girlboss yay we need more ladies oppressors"
Exactly, also this "all men are bad and monsters" has to stop. This is not how you get the good men to help you stop and punish the bad men.
But yeah, fuck the patriarchy, women should have just as many rights and freedoms as men do, in theory and in practice.
reversing sexism isn't a solution to any issue, it's the irrational hierarchies that are bad, not the fact that it's not your people on top.
also, I don't think I've ever heard a feminist talking about "all men are monsters", but I've definitely heard antifeminist men claim they do.
You have not been on social media during that time period, maybe. It was everywhere which led some men to become antifeminist.
I agree, but sadly I have seen posts claiming that all men are monsters and lots of people agreeing online, and not just once or twice.
the funny thing is that now, me, a cis man, sitting in the loo, claiming to be pro feminist, is about to write "those aren't real feminists".
I'm laughing while writing this.
don't take me seriously please.
