Ooooh this be making me so MADDD “I’m not a feminist because i like men!” “I’m not a feminist because I like being a SAHM!” “I’m not a feminist because I like dressing modestly!” “I can’t be a feminist bc I’m a man!” The point of feminism is that everybody can do whatever tf they want without judgement
I support feminism but the biggest issue with it for me is that the end goal keeps on getting pushed farther. By its core functions, feminism is supposed to support women’s rights movements and advocate for the same rights as men. But we’ve already reached that point. Women and men have the same fundamental rights. With the movement reaching its goal, it’s then further pushed to now promote that women are superior to men.
Have you ever talked to a real woman about this? I've heard views from many of the women I know and it's a much more nuanced topic than what your for you page is leading you to believe. Of course her murder of her kids is a tragedy and there is no excuse, all women I've talked to about it agree. But also, Lindsay Clancey constantly reached out for help from her husband and doctors about her mental state and they did not offer her the help she needed. This was very preventable.
Nothing is ever black and white. Do I think Lindsay Clancey should be held accountable for what she did? Yes. But also professional help and support for women struggling mentally should be much more available and normalized. If her husband wasn't a deadbeat and doctors listened to her this could have been prevented, but because of the way we systematically treat women and their health that sadly wasn't the case.
and it’s always so interesting to me that people get more upset when feminists or women want to be superior to men, but no one bats an eye when men are constantly wanting to be superior to women. it’s just crazy how misandry seems to upset people more than misogyny, when misogyny is a much more serious issue that has literally contributed to violence and women being killed
brother we have not reached that point 😭😭 the wage gap still exists. our rights to abortion and birth control are being threatened and taken away from us. medical gaslighting disproportionately affects women, especially women of color. like op said, just because on paper it says we are created equal, doesn’t mean there’s not systematic and individual discrepancies
i agree but it doesn't help when some (fake?) feminists attack other women for doing these things. i've seen them tell other women they can't be feminist or even call them misogynistic for dressing modestly, dating men, or identifying with a religion. policing other women like that is ironically misogynistic itself and just makes them feel excluded/marginalized, so it makes sense why some of them say that. that type of behavior needs to be called out more
You are stupid af. Women are not a homogeneous group. White women care more about upholding white supremacist systems that benefit them than standing in solidarity with marginalised women. Dismantling patriarchy is intertwined with dismantling white supremacy. Women’s rights means all women not just white women. If it’s revolving around only white women, it’s white feminism.
