lol try male victims of rape and domestic violence, and i'm sure i told you about them shutting the only male shelter in canada down? that time they defended a woman who blatantly raped a young boy?
i know every movement has done radical things, but when it is a common occurrence and the members of the movement refuse to accept that their movement did that, it becomes a problem.
What's common isn't what's shown by the media. People have said this to you often, but I guess you don't quite get it.
What feminism is doing is either considered a joke by most people or is shown to be incredibly radical, and I won't deny or argue against that. You can believe in a movement without having to agree with everything that goes on. I personally feel that feminists who attack male rape victims and the like are hypocrites, but DrenDran will whine and say that's a No True Scotsman logic fallacy or some stuff, but who gives a stuff.
3. With this logic feminism is basically fighting to say that lipstick, high heels, and other markers of femininity can be associated with strength too. (as you said last page) But I'd say no, for example high heels can't be associated with strength because they're extremely impractical, painful, and weaken the wearer rather than making them stronger, they're objectively worse.
4. You can fight for women without fighting for femininity.
Not strength in the sense of physical strength, but strength as in power. Power as in having a voice and mattering as much as masculinity.
And saying that you're fighting for solely women is practically bait for egalitarians to think they're right. Plus, I
want to fight for femininity. I dislike the stigma that I see associated with it and how it affects me on a personal level. I'm a feminist because I want to change that.
honestly every time they come out with a new political campaign it harms more than it does good. and there have been at least 2 big campaigns this year. you would really want to defend that movement instead of the ones actually after equality? the only reason the mrm exists is because they talk about the stuff feminists refuse to.
feminism isn't new
yeah it's a new wave but whatever
Also, MRAs have done nothing of significance since their inception in the 70s (correct me if i'm wrong here). They're too focused on attacking feminists than actually doing anything, but I'm sure there are exceptions.
I believe men are affected by a patriarchy (and would do anything in my power to help! I'd love to build a shelter for men in abusive relationships or ban circumcision! And I'm a feminist!), but MRAs believe there's a matriarchy, anyway. That's why they'll always be wrong in their ideals, but not their goals.
