What it’s like to talk about feminism on the internet
this is on point

Fun idea: if you are male shut the fuck up about abortion forever
I don’t trust anyone who calls adult men “men”, but calls adult women “girls”.
I don’t trust anyone who calls human men “men”, but calls human women “females”.
Men on literally every post about women’s oppression: you know men are oppressed as well
Women don’t owe you anything.
Not a hello.
Not a conversation.
Not a thank you (in response to your
complimentharassment).
Women: *Express their emotions in relationships*
Men: My girlfriend is so crazy! What a nag, right?
Women: *Keep their emotions to themselves, say they’re “fine” when they’re upset*
Men: Women never say what they mean! Dudes get everything out in the open, why can’t women be more like that?
If brain sex is real, then why are men still allowed to walk?
If men’s statistically high violence rates are due to biology instead of socialization, then why don’t we lock up them all, including those who haven’t committed anything? You know, as a safety measure.
one part of the male gender role I can’t stand is thinking that being irritating and pissing women off is funny???? every man I’ve met thinks that’s hilarious and gets mad when I’m not into it. like why did no one teach them to shut the fuck up
^^^^^^THIS SO MUCH
I’m curious to hear your response to a point a friend of mine argued the other day about a distaste for some feminist’s opposition to #notallmen. He argued that feminists who regard all men as potential problems are akin to people who see all Muslims are terrorists. What do you think about this statement?
I feel like your friend is being a little bit disingenuous in co-opting the struggle of Muslims by using this comparison. Saying that Muslims should not be trusted because of the actions of a very few is not at all like saying that men should not be trusted because of the actions of a majority.
The vast majority of Muslims are not terrorists. The vast majority of Muslims are not socialised to be terrorists. But the vast majority of men – who are socialised into the dominant sex role from birth – DO watch porn, use misogynistic language about women, laugh at or participate in the telling of rape jokes and regard women as naturally inferior in certain ways (both consciously and subconsciously).
The fact that so many women have experienced harassment and sexual assault – official estimates tend to say one in four, which is terrifying in itself, but I’d say that without exaggeration, every single woman I know has had a sexual experience in which they were unwilling or felt they were pressured not to say “no”, even if they don’t recognise it as assault, and this is probably similar for other women and their acquaintances – is also a pretty enormous contributing factor in essentially not trusting the average man.
Do you see a similar sort of Muslim/non-Muslim hierarchy in which most non-Muslims have been abused and targeted by Muslims purely by virtue of their not being Muslims? No.
Some men won’t use emojis because they consider it feminine like could you imagine wanting to hold on to masculinity so desperately
