I would also like to say, that men who are pro feminist, I don't believe should only focus on women's issues. I am all for men making safe spaces for other men who are victims of violence as long as those spaces are not anti-feminist. I think it would be extremely helpful, if men cut out all the...
I would say all forms of discrimination are destructive but aren't equally destructive. I was just saying I haven't come across a feminist before who thinks men are born inferior, so my guess it's an extremely rare way of thinking.
And the women I've known who have thought women are naturally...
I could be wrong, but that's what I've witnessed, mostly it's subtle though, and usually takes the form policing how women say things. I would also add that 2 opposing views can both be wrong but they are not necessarily equal. Misogyny is the biggest and most destructive threat to people lives...
Yeah, it's very complicated. But I will continue to stand by how I feel, that the best thing men could do is focus on each other rather than policing women's anger and resentment.
I find that educating is particularly difficult for a woman with my philosophy. I would rather not interact too much with certain kinds of straight male feminists. I actually prefer talking to female and trans and gay male radfems online, and supporting each other emotionally. I'm not a...
Yep! And also the problem I find with straight men who come to feminism in general, they seem to be concerned with how women view men, what women think of them, are women resentful towards men in their spare time, is there "misandry" taking place here, then the actual fact the straight men are...
No women should not, and I already said I disagree with a lot of radical feminists say about transwomen. That being said I disagree with some aspects of trans ideology too. But transwomen experience trans misogyny which crosses over to homophobia. Straight women have part privilege when it comes...
I would say it is leading in this case. Straight men should definitely not be writing educative articles on why he disagrees with transwomen and feminism. His focus like I said should be helping to educate men especially straight men on misogyny. There are different branches of feminism that is...
Yes I agree, I really meant lead it in terms of ideology. I'll give you an example, Robert Jensen-radical "feminist" wrote an article on transwomen. I haven't read it but I've heard some of the things he wrote were out of hand. Now as a cis straight male he shouldn't have wrote it. He isn't at...
semi back, I don't have the strength right now to address everyone's points. Another reason why I have changed my view is because I've seen posts on the net by men sex positive "feminists" saying how much they hate "sex negative feminists". And yes they use the word hate. Now I haven't had...
Well yeah In my opinion that makes sense, like I wouldn't say I'm a part of LGBT rights community I would say I support it and be an ally. So you can say your pro-feminist.
Yes that is what I mean. Like I said I'm still not certain about the whole calling yourself a feminist thing, but I do believe that when men call themselves feminists they often think they have should have equal voice, when they can better use their privilege on other men. I kind of think it's...
Then I would say you can be a feminist ally. I'm still not firm in my stance on this issue in general but that seems to make more sense to me.
