Btw you might see me using the term ‘MRA-lite’ and wonder what it means. It’s a term I use for people who are kind of MRA adjacent, and may end up there at some point, due to the ideas they are escousing; however I don’t call them MRAs because that term has become associated with being hateful, and often violent or dangerous towards women. People who are more MRA-lite I do not think are hateful, let alone violent or dangerous. They are just encountering some (very old, tedious and missing a lot of background context) ideas and saying ‘why is no one talking about this???’ very earnestly.

#gender politics #MRA discourse #misogyny #transmisogyny #i will be honest and say that the fact that a lot of the ones on tumblr are transmasc is concerning #because other transmasc people respect what they are saying and it just goes around these circles #i think there is a perception that they cannot do harm in a way that is similar to the idea that cis women behave a certain way #because they also believe they are not able to do harm #this to be clear is an idea that i see plenty of merit in #i just don't think it's limited to cis women i think it's literally anyone who has the idea that they can't do harm because of who they are #trouble is that's the entirety of the tumblr idea of how being in an oppressed group works #but literally everyone here is in at least one opressed group so it gets messy as fuck #anyway i'm happy to discuss these ideas and yes i do think the early to mid 2010s ironic misandry period as fucking terrible #and no i don't think being a man is amazing and no i'm not transitioning to escape misogyny #see previous post i spent years immersed in these issues #and it fucked me up i am literally triggered by these topics now #the absolute rancid discourse i saw you don't even know
