Apparently this is an unpopular opinion among feminists. If feminism is about equality for everyone, it needs to address that. As an example, LGBTQ+ was extended many times to cover everyone in the community, and that’s the right thing to do. There isn’t just L and everyone repeats “Oh! Lesbians are for rights for everyone, no need to update that”
I don’t know what the new name should be, but it should cover gender equality for everyone.
probably the “making them A class citizens and men B class citizens” part, that’s not very cash money, blank slate, fresh start. Certainly not “No past debts lingering,” so the downvotes are probably a combination of your cognitive dissonance and smug attitude about fixing oppression with more oppression.
There’s nothing about my attitude that smug. I’m saying that if there was a clear accounting of the total amount of damage is done by men to women, we should pay that debt off.
Like, please assume that I am collaborating in the conversation and that I’m looking to build something positive and not that I’m just trying to, like, one up or get up votes or anything else. I am contributing my viewpoint to the conversation. That’s it.
Look buddy you asked why
Yeah, and you said I was smug about it, when there is no sense of smugness coming from me, which implies that you misread my intentions, so I clarified.
Or perhaps you’re not presenting as you intend
Smuggest shit I’ve ever read.
