Is it? Or are you just in the habit of labeling anything that conflicts with your assumptions as being disingenuous?

If I could get them to realize one thing, it would be that feminism isn’t about women participating in patriarchal structures of oppression as oppressors; it’s about abolishing patriarchal structures of oppression.

If I got a bonus thing, it would be getting them to realize that patriarchy also harms men, that toxic masculinity harms men (and can be perpetuated by women), and that only a relatively small percentage of men can be categorized as “oppressors.”

An oligarch is an oligarch, whether man or woman. And bullying a vulnerable man because he’s an easier target than an actual oppressor is not “smashing the patriarchy.”

And yet their solution is to use a man for protection?

Nothing wrong with that, I just think it’s a little one-sided to say “women are afraid of men” while ignoring the part where “women use men for safety.”

But see, every human social interaction these days is viewed through the lense of “must have sexual undertones.”

That’s why it’s hard to go in public/make eye contact with strangers without someone glaring at you and accusing you of something nasty…

Wow, this comment chain went from heartwarming to depressing real fast. I’m sorry you lost your friend.

The loneliness epidemic is absolutely real, and this isolating society is killing us all by design and it breaks my heart.

That’s true, but internet pseudo-feminists seem intent on declaring that the loneliness epidemic isn’t real and is just made up by the manosphere to oppress women.

(This isn’t a statement against feminism, but the idea that anything that hurts men is feminist isn’t really feminism)
