#single issue feminism

[theconcealedweapon]

"As a conservative woman, how do I convince conservative men to be more respectful of women?"

Translating:

"When the leopards are eating people's faces, how do I stop them from eating my face?"

I know I've lost followers for not properly "not all men" ing my posts, and that's fine. By all means, keep your dash how you like it. But let me be clear that I simply do not care if you know a man or are a man for whom my posts or posts I reblog do not apply. I will never be compelled to expend energy placing disclaimers for a few individual men who somehow escaped male socialization, are not tempted by porn, do not have friends who support rape culture, have never internalized sexist media, do their fair share of childcare, do not demand unhealthy beauty standards from their girlfriends, wives, and daughters, always challenge sexism and misogyny in their social circles, work, and church, and are just so positively progressive that they never need to examine their own behavior or the behavior of the men around them. If you are a self proclaimed "good man" who has absolutely nothing to learn, then congratulations. I guess this blog isn't for you. Why don't you spend some of the energy you're using to tell me how good of a man you are on some other men who aren't as great as you? Instead of telling me how good you are, why don't you show me?

“girl math” “girl dinner” “explaining this for the girlies” shut the fuuuck up oh my god how do y’all not see what you’re doing. stop infantilizing femininity and reestablishing the exact gender boundaries y’all claim to want abolished !!!!!!!! STOP IT !!!!!!!!!!!

I think a lot of y'all would be better at politics in general if you got away from the concepts of conservative and liberal.

They are not opposites of one another, there are usually actually a lot of overlaps between the two, and using these terms in arguments is usually just used to dismiss the other person's point without any intellectual integrity.

Also, no general political groups like 'liberal' or 'conservative' are monoliths of thought. There are degrees of how liberal or conservative someone that changes depending on the topic at hand and this stance, depending on the topic, is likely subject to change with new information presented. This mindset is the precursor to black and white thinking and tribalism within politics, do yourself a favor and stop using them.

“There is no fanfic on Stephs treatment I have checked” that’s like the whole point.

[lynchiangf]

it's crazy how even the most milquetoast feminist takes that have been part of mainstream conversations for at least a decade now can't be discussed without it being made about how actually the real victims are always men

[myboredgeneration]

No matter their sexes, some people live stupid lives and shove it to your eyes. You see how emotion-driven mindless losers they are and how they gamble with their life and pay the toll. They may be the woman at work you like, your sister, your neighbour man next door... Of course it's not our job to judge people but, you know being exposed to all this nonsense makes you angry, because life is already hard.

I am angry at this type of people, not women.

I hate getting into something that has a canon(ish) sapphic couple, but I only end up caring about one of the two women 😭😭😭

Political rant in tags.

YouTube leftist commentary video talking about feminism but it’s by a leftist Man. I always click off immediately. No thank u.

So here’s my problem with “uterus havers” or “baby makers” or “incubators” being used to describe what we used to call women: I (and many others) don’t have a uterus anymore.

So what does that make me? And why am I the bad guy for objecting to these terms?

*puts my head in my hands* The reason that so many of us say, "I don't trust people who say that all men are evil no exceptions you should never interact with any of them for any reason" ISN'T because we are coddling abusive men, it's because we a) don't want to get into bioessentialism territory, and b) are WELL aware of your history of using this rhetoric to blame women who are abused by men because "Well men are horrible, what did she expect, she brought this on herself."

How to be a better man: Dealing with women at “the wall”

So quick disclaimer: This post is part of a series I do that give wisdom to heterosexual men. If you find this helpful great, if you are offended please be clear that is not the intent. I don’t know you, so I do not create blog posts to upset you. So that out of the way what is the wall? In the world of relationships the term “The Wall” has become a meme that describes the point in which females…
