RantMen who fear the word "feminism"
I've spoken to a few men who, when they learn I'm a feminist, go "I agree with equal rights and all that, but I'm not a feminist(/feminist ally). I'm equalitarian". I ask them why they label themselves that way, and it's usually that they think feminism has a negative connotation (even though they are the ones giving it this connotation), even if they agree with most feminist ideas. Like, I've talked to men who agree gender roles should not exist, it's normal for women to be hairy, men are the ones committing 98% of sexual crimes, and more, but they still fear the word "feminist".
It frustrates me so much. They are either liars or cowards.
I'd love to hear your opinions on this topic, why do you think it happens, etc.
LGB Alliance is a UK org so I’m unclear on what they’re supposed to do about laws in an American state? Same for Joyce (who is Irish.)
and he’s blocked anyone in the US who as so much as politely disagreed with him. So yeah. Nice cherry picking bro 🍒
Radical Feminist ≠ Gender Critical dumbass. That's why.
Ehhhh.... I dunno, I don't think most people who aren't radical feminists or their allies are actually gender critical. More like transgender critical.
Maybe if gender ideologists hadn't overtaken feminist institutions, actual feminists could focus on women's reproductive rights. Currently, anyone who cares about women's rights is busy trying to make sure that the US government recognizes exactly what "female" means.
He’s like “they’re just mad about the pregnant people terms!!”
Um.. yeah. Because it’s a fucking waste of time while women and girls suffer. It’s a distraction from real work on abortion and allows men like you to act like this has any impact on you and force-teams your issues with real women’s problems. It’s the reason the organizations I worked for are wringing their hangs and wasting energy writing press releases that won’t offend the genderspecials. It’s not the ONLY thing I’m mad at. But it shows how idpol and men in dresses have overtaken things that used to be useful to women
Meanwhile, TiMs continue to have no actual rights to lose in this battle.
Well he obviously hasn't lurked Ovarit before because there are a ton of posts here about Texas just within the past 24 hours.
He would also see his face on /itsafetish so I see why he avoids it
Aaron, the sundress man. Well, get in line, bro. You’re not the only dude who likes looking at women in sundresses.
Weirdly here I am at Grand Terven Central and I see multiple posts and big discussion about Texas. Maybe Erin Sundresses Mom (vomit) doesn't know that the terves are largely banned from Twitter so they don't GATHER there.
It's amazing how, when you systemically shove a group out of the public discourse, they struggle to make themselves heard even on the points of agreement.
“Faux women’s advocacy”? Be quiet male.
I care about women’s reproductive rights but I can’t really do anything for American women. I also don’t think it is a fight that will be fought on Twitter.
Could say the same about TiMs though? 😂 Why are they silent if they're "women" like they claim? Dumbasses
They should be FIRST at the frontlines of supporting other women in this regard! FIRST! They're the ones with the baseball bats.
So far I've seen TRAs crying about how people need to remember it's not just women who are affected by abortion and to please use inclusive language or it's transphobic! So making it about themselves instead of caring about the issue as per usual.
Most actual TERFs have been bullied off of twitter, so not sure what this ass clown is saying.
Sounds like he's unintentionally admitting it's a WOMEN'S issue if he thinks "terfs" should be focusing on it.
Erin: Abigail Shrier isn’t a radfem. It’s pretty clear in her excellent, well-researched book that she is clearly not coming from a radfem perspective, even if we all agree that transing kids is horrific and wrong.
She’s a woman who says NO to your delusions. And that’s all that terfs are to these men. Women who say NO. I’m plenty mad and I don’t need your Twitter approval
