"Why is it called feminism, everyone should be treated equally," is exactly the same as saying, "why is it black lives matter, all lives matter?"
It's misrepresenting their goals by saying that people who fight for one aspect of an issue are saying that no other aspect of the issue matters.
Most people who support feminism believe that everyone should be treated equally, but one gender needs a lot more lifting up to get equality.
It's the same for BLM.
Yes but I don’t think a proper equalist should make such a dumb statement, those are usually misogynists maskerading as equalist.
I consider myself an equalist and i have stated above exactly why i think feminism is important. To be an equalist in this time o history means to support feminism.
Feminists continue to lobby for priviledges in the west in aspects where they are already clearly ahead. They've stepped firmly into the side exceptionalism and supremacy.
Feminism is a very important tool in the fight for men's liberation. We men have to realize that we have been manipulated into fighting against our own interests.
We have been told it is masculine to act individualistically, but it is in our best interests to act collectively.
We have been taught that it is masculine to hide our feelings, but it is in our interests to show them, so that others can understand our struggles.
We are taught as men it is weak to ask for help. But helping others makes all of us stronger.
Feminism is for men's rights too.
not even true one bit.
It's true in a few edge cases, but definitely not across the board.
No, we haven't.
To add to my other comment, the ~~real~~ ideology where people literally believe the words “all lives matter” is actually antifascism. And as an antifascist I support BLM just as i would support a person of any other color that is the victim of racism of any kind of other human.
ALL lives matter has never been anything but racist whites not wanting to lose thier power.
Are my comments really this confusing, i thought my point was pretty clear.
But to Summarize yet againW
Fake antifa is called “all lives matter”
Actual “all lives matter” is called antifa/anarchism.
There is no racist “balanced stance” for what equalism is about, so they invade the real one.
Right, but the phrase "all lives matter" is a racist response to the BLM movement. The simple fact that you have to explain that you're not being racist when saying it shows this.
It's just the nature of things. I can't have a mustache because it only grows beneath my nose. Some asshole went and ruined that style for everyone.
You mis understand me, i very much agree that “all lives matter” is a racist dog wistle.
I am saying that equalism gets invaded by toxic masculism while “antifa” does not because fascist feel to strong about it.
There for they had to invent “all lives matter” to be a racist copy of antifa/anarchism. Its thus not comparable to how equalism does get invaded.
Ah, my mistake. We're in agreement then.
