working on my paper which will have an underpinning of the fact that criminal law is inherently unfair to women bc it was structured around men and their experiences and i just started reading a paper on that which started off by talking abt how when abigail adams wrote to john adams and asked him to not forget women when writing the constitution he wrote back to her saying “we know better than to repeal our masculine systems” which i think is so exemplary of the way that men still think to this day. even men who claim to be feminists or that they want “equality” for women have a point in their heads where feminism is “going too far.” and that is bc underneath it all they WANT the system to continue to oppress women and uplift them bc it is to their benefit. to men feminism is abt giving women the illusion of equality and believing that they will be too dumb to recognize that their “masculine systems” still exist underneath the illusion. there is not a single man that doesn’t know better than to promote a feminism that actually seeks to structure society in a way that does not other women and cater to men. this is why you will see many men participate in liberal feminism (feminism that only seeks to gain women equality within the existing societal structures) while no men have been overtly involved in radical feminism (feminism that seeks to dismantle the existing structures and rebuild them to create a system where women are not oppressed). men are not allies to women and they never will be. they know better.
