“Men are victims of the patriarchy too” is an incredibly powerful message that I wish more men understood.
Most feminists don’t even acknowledge this. Or they say even if men are victims, they deserve it for participating in the patriarchy.
As a staunch feminist whose friends are all feminists, I have never heard a single one say—or even imply—anything like that. I very much know how extremely painful it is to have your feelings ignored and invalidated, so garbage like that is a dealbreaker.
If you’re hearing this claim from people irl, they’re saying it because they’re shitty people… not because they call themselves “feminists”.
I used to be all feminism when I was younger. Now I have two kids, I realized man do a sht ton of things without being recognized. It’s always that “you are the man, you are supposed to do it” kind of thing. But when it’s the other way around like when I asked the ladies what about their “women duties”, it’s all excuse and argument. It can suck balls being a responsible man.
You can be both a feminist and recognize that men have major struggles too, they’re not mutually exclusive
Egalitarianism > all other isms. Except autism. autism trumps all.
Well, yes, but they’re still not mutually exclusive. For example, I like apples but I also like other fruits as well. Me liking all fruits doesn’t override my liking of apples.
