I gravitate towards humanism instead of feminism even though I align with his the latter would be defined by many people.
In my younger years many feminists groups I ended up participating it, often from working together on protests or other issues under the progressive banner very violently anti-men.
Many actively thought all men were inherently bad and had no place in shared spaces. I remember walking out when one member whom I had worked along with for years and thought of as a close friend spoke of how she had heard a theory of how Genghis Khan was castrated by his wife and died. She thought this was a fitting end for a man and some others chimed in, in agreement. There was a general sense of othering men as an out group responsible for evil, rather than seeing most men and women as suffering under the system.
I don’t think most people are like this, I’m just illustrating why someone might think differently without being a ‘chud’.
Ah yes, I see trying to pigeon hole feminism because women who are abused don’t trust men.
The two are unrelated because women distrust men without feminism.
In respect to Genghis Khan, he was a mass murder and rapist of epic proportions. Not really a good example if you are trying to paint them as horrible people.
Feminism is an academic study of oppression and people who oppress men are not feminists. They are probably just women trying to cope in a patriarchy that abuses and suppresses them. Angry and upset about a world that steals their bodily autonomy and ignored their cries for help.
This comic is a mischaracterization of feminism. For one feminism studies was a catalyst for African American Women studies. The man in the beggining is definitely a chud and the comic is written from a chud perspective.
I know it is a troll comment, but I think it’s a conversation starter on its own.
In any movement, including feminists, there are people struggling for equality and people willing to hijack the conversation to suit their needs. While the latter intentionally label themselves same as the former, they are not the same.
As long as the goal of a particular feminist is to create a more equal society (in this case - by removing the obstacles and dangers women specifically face in everyday life), I, as a man, am totally aligned.
However, there are certain people within the movement that serve much different politicized goals. Denying the rights of trans people. Starting gender wars to distract people from uniting over shared goals. Pretending they care about women when stripping away their reproductive rights or spreading disinformation about contraception. These people are here to support oppression, not liberate others.
Not a troll comment at all. The US is absolutely full of women haters. They lie about what feminism is constantly.
One of the ways they do this is by claiming individual that are clearly not feminist represent feminism. They point to ignorant men or women in a disingenuous attempt to discredit the movement based on perceived hypocrisy or just general misogyny.
Lemmy is absolutely stocked full of these type of fucks. This post is clearly anti-feminist under the guise of supposed social commentary.
Feminism is concerned with oppression of all people. It is almost like chuds shouldn’t comment on things they won’t understand.
