what if when humans die, our souls just go to another planet somewhere in the same universe, and all of our extraterrestrial research is basically us desperately trying to reach the dead without even realizing it, while life on that planet is completely different from anything we’ve ever known here
so if a certain number of men commit heinous, sexist crimes against women, you’re gonna feel hate towards an entire gender? if a white person has been racist towards you, are you gonna hate the whole white race? every person is different from one another, and there are some sick fucks who absolutely deserve the hate, but hating an entire gender isn’t the way to do it! feminism is supposed to eliminate sexism, yet you guys seem like you want to make another gender inferior rather than establishing EQUITY !
@odashily but that’s exactly the issue, you can oppose the control or mistreatment you experience without turning that into hatred for an entire gender. feminism is about challenging that inequality, not hating men because some men uphold it
@innelysium i’m sure we will, it just helps the feminist cause to actually focus on women’s rights rather than calling yourself a feminist because you hate men !
I would like to kindly share the fact that the main value of feminism is gender equity, misandry exists as much misogyny does (check the dictionary you'll find both of them there!), the solution to women not being equal to men in a patriarchal society isn't hating on men, but encouraging women's rights, and promoting the equity that has to be instored in society.
Just like the solution to racism isn't hating on another race because it makes you feel better about the racism you experienced from them.
Hope you understand and have a great day !
@depechemoldd yeah exactly, i think it just ends up creating more division and makes it harder for people to actually have productive conversations about the issue
i definitely understand where that frustration comes from, and i agree that experiencing repeated mistreatment can make generalizing feel almost natural, but i still think there’s a difference between understanding where that resentment comes from and excusing it, you can be angry at sexism and acknowledge how widespread it is without developing disdain for an entire gender
@kjotawirtz I very much agree that women have suffered and still suffer today from inequality. however, the misandry we see today doesn’t help the feminist cause
