You want to believe that young men are more complicated than they actually are. Your childish notions of men as complicated feelings creatures who need to open up and express their feelings oh wait not those feelings are part of the problem.
male feminists are just simping. male allies are good and proper, but men shouldn’t co-opt women’s issues by taking up the feminist label.
the universalizing ideology of feminism for men is incoherent
and if you react with anger to someone, me, stating this fact, that feminism is and ought to be for women, you’re part of the problem, shut up.
feminism is full of lessons on how feminism helps women, men should read feminists
but it’s stupid to expect feminism/feminists to advocate for men’s issues
and it’s insulting to ask men to believe that all they have to do is be good feminists and they’ll get what they need.
if you’re a man and you want to write about how actually all men need to do is understand patriarchy, seriously shut the fuck up.
if you’re a woman and you want to write about how actually feminism is good for men, seriously shut the fuck up:
stop centering a tool for helping women, feminism, stop centering women, when men is the topic. do you understand? can you understand? the topic is men.
I have more respect for open misandry than you might expect, but if your emotions are preventing you from crafting worthwhile politics, remove yourself from the situation.
The calm, reasonable people are talking, and histrionic performance like this is a step away from panicking.
Your trauma response may be valid, but that does not mean it is productive.
Yes, I am telling you to calm the fuck down.
