Yes but now that men and women have equal rights shouldn’t we treat each other with equal kindness and respect?

my point is not being mean for no reason. my point is making your feminism watered down or more palatable to men is not going to get you anywhere with men who don’t care about women’s issues or women’s rights

I agree with that, but that has nothing to do with empathy and kindness.

equal rights my ass. even beyond the western world, if we look to afghanistan for example women are not permitted to speak or be seen without head to toe coverings in public. and that has been slowly and methodically building through the years there since the taliban has invaded the country. women don’t exist in a single country, this treatment hurts all women.

no it does. for example when “misandry” is brought up, many women say we shouldn’t talk about men that way because it will turn them off from feminism despite misandry being a direct response to misogyny which harms women as a whole, it kills them, it leads to rape culture, while misandry is nothing but hurt men’s feelings and if men cared to understand or hear women’s issues they wouldn’t care about misandry because it doesn’t harm them on any real scale.

women attempt it more often, men use more violent means. but regardless actually that’s a result of the patriarchy and men being told they should be more manly and not show their feelings. and that’s perpetuated by men far more often than women. it’s not women saying “i hate all men” that’s driving men to kill themselves

I don’t believe that misandry is the solution to misogyny. I don’t believe that gender warring helps anything. I understand venting about men and saying negative things. We deserve to do that, and I’m not saying we shouldn’t. But it’s not going to fix anything. Generalizing abt men is bad. We need to talk about systems Overall, men deserve empathy and kindness just like any person. That doesn’t mean changing our feminism or acting to placate men, it just means being a decent person

We don’t have equal rights. Men don’t have the right to bodily autonomy (circumcision and the draft)
