EqualityMen are feminists as well. This is a great poster!
Yay male feminists:)
This is fantastic!
I appreciate the intent here, but please don’t make feminism about you. It’s not about you. It never has been about you and never should be.
Feminism is about women in relation to everyone else. Therefore, it’s about everyone. Kicking someone out of a cause only hurts it - especially if you’re doing so based on something as silly as gender!
*facepalm*
NO ONE IS KICKING YOU OUT OF THE CAUSE.
I’m telling you that since men cannot experience sexism, if they want to be feminists, they need to listen more than they talk and not make the discussion about them. It’s pretty simple.
“based on something as silly as gender!”
“based on something as silly as gender!”
“based on something as silly as gender!”
i hope this person realizes that by trivializing gender, they trivialize the idea of equal rights regardless of gender.
also, like, male-identified people who have responded to this negatively, you’re not helping your case. you are actively telling a woman — who has a problem with this post because of the way it makes men’s anger the focus of feminism — that she is OMG EXCLUDING YOU FOR BEING A MAN!!! despite the fact that she is merely giving legitimate criticism to a post.
that’s
really
ridiculous
gender (or lack of gender) is an integral part of our identities, so saying it’s trivial is denying that it has any effect on people altogether, when i’m pretty sure feminism posits the exact opposite thing. FEMALE-IDENTIFYING PEOPLE ARE DISCRIMINATED AGAINST BECAUSE OF THEIR GENDER. THEIR GENDER, WHICH IS A PART OF WHO THEY ARE. WHICH, WHEN YOU SAY IT’S SILLY, IS TRIVIALIZING THAT IDENTITY, AND ALLOWING FURTHER SEXISM TO TAKE PLACE.
^ THAT.
That’s cute.
Let’s try FREEDOM FROM OPPRESSION OF BEING THE SEX CLASS YEEEEEAAAAHHHHHH
WAIT WHY DO WE NEED DUDES FOR THIS
EXCEPT TO Y’KNOW
LISTEN TO US
I like the commentary.
