Not weird imo. If he doesn’t support u having rights then I hope he wouldn’t be ur boyfriend lol. Idk if it’s an exact analogy but If I was talking to a girl and she hated men I prolly wouldn’t consider dating them either

i don't really see how that's the same. Plus feminism is for equal rights not just women rights.

You don’t see how him saying he wouldn’t date a woman if she hates men is the same as you saying you wouldn’t date a man if he hates women

yes? just because a man isn't a femininist doesn't mean he hates women??

But to your original point, if being a feminist is for equal rights then not being a feminist implies that you want women to have less rights

well it's not "if" that's what feminism is, and it again doesn't just imply they want women to have less rights. it also implies they don't think that men are victims of the patriarchy too

Someone that's supports equal rights, is active in breaking gender norms, and votes and participates in politics that are working to break down the patriarchy.

Well the dictionary definition is a social system and/or government where men hold the power and women are largerly excluded. While here in the US there has been several strides towards gender equality there are still a lot of deeply rooted social structures and norms that favor men. So that's why it's still deemed a patriarchy. I highly recommend doing your own research though about if you want to learn more.

What don't you get? This can't be the first time you've heard of the patriarchy, like didn't you learn about in school?
