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.
