LOL gotta love the logic that loving women makes you gay. but yeah, this mindset is sad. why do they have to frame altruism & regard for people other than yourself as negatives?
i didnt mention that this was asked because i was defending captain marvel and brie larson
Just say you want paternity leave, and you can only get that with supporting feminism, you can take it from there.
Or just tell them to fuck off.
was literally asked this today.
i understand the upbringing of some people, but i weep for the posibilities of them having daughters, and even worse, sons who will be raised like this
funny you mention this..
mexico wants to increase to 8 weeks of paternity leave from the 5 days that we have now.
but most people on my job where like "why would a man leave for 2 months for his child? thats what grandmas are for!"
also things like "if you leave your job for 2 months and everything is fine they would fire you"
or "why someone would hire someone who is about to have a child?"
lol
It's the type of thing you wouldn't hear a dude say in front of women unless they got a signal she's cool with it. Same for "the #metoo movement has gone too far"I was walking down the street today and some dude was talking to a couple of friends. I heard him say "This feminism shit is making women act crazy."
Probably just a swell dude all around.
Plenty of men have little issue saying stuff like that around women. Feminism is generally accepted as a horrible thing in some circles.It's the type of thing you wouldn't hear a dude say in front of women unless they got a signal she's cool with it. Same for "the #metoo movement has gone too far"
it seems like a thing a smart dude would not say if he wants to be viewed as not an asshole, but maybe I give people too much creditPlenty of men have little issue saying stuff like that around women. Feminism is generally accepted as a horrible thing in some circles.
were they teenages? I got that a lot in middle school.At a place I used to work all the girls thought I was gay cuz I didn't hit on them and wasnt machismo.
From my experience plenty of men have no problem being viewed as assholes. Some think it's edgy and cool.it seems like a thing a smart dude would not say if he wants to be viewed as not an asshole, but maybe I give people too much credit
I love that song, what a great band.I played Deap Valley's "Smile More" at work, a song that includes the line "Yes I am a feminist," and it shocked and upset a number of my coworkers, several of whom are women.
Really incredible how effective the anti-feminist smear campaign over the decades has been. It's convinced people to work against their own self-interests.
Oh you mexican? Isnt it weird to see spanish speaking people co-op this anti-progressivepattern of speech? The first time I heard a latino say ESE-DOBLE U-JOTA my mind was blow at the profound stupidity of using language of people that fucking hate your guts. Like this dude at work this morning said that Captain marvel had "not as much feminism as he was expecting", I mean, how do you even measure "feminism"? and this is a gay dude on top of that. Fuck, we are so dumb.funny you mention this..

Being a guy and declaring yourself a feminist sounds weird in my head. Like you can say you support feminists. But you cant be one yourself unless you've shared their experiences. Yeah I know I'm probably wrong.

It's funny because how many male-targeted hate murders have there been?A lot of people don't see feminism as advocating for equability between genders, or a framework to critique society. They see is as almost a kind of religion, with its own doctrine, dogma, and idols. It's how they can say "I'm against sex discrimination but I'm not a feminist." It's the same as "I believe in a higher power but I'm not religious."
That's just the new face. Before that it was the image of a bra burning, butch looking, man hating lesbian.
you know what is worse, women to go along with these dudes just for validation, just for being "one of the guys!"
its like >_>
Ladies and gentlemen, I present ResetEra, the super progressive mega-woke forum where men tell women what their interests are and how to be a proper feminist. Then act bemused when the women don't cooperate.I played Deap Valley's "Smile More" at work, a song that includes the line "Yes I am a feminist," and it shocked and upset a number of my coworkers, several of whom are women.

I told my buddy to find better friends, and left the party. In short, OP, you're in the right, but there's no way to talk sense into people set in their ways. They have to feel the consequences of what they wrought before they'll be ready to accept what's best for them."Yeah. Why wouldn't I be? Feminism benefits women and men."
"I bet you're just doing it because you want p****."
"I have no interest in dating women."
"Then why are you so p****whipped?"
Needlessly reductive way of thinking. Intersectional feminism is about reducing the overall impact of toxic masculinity, as well as white and male privilege. White privilege blinds people of different social classes and gender identities to their lack of privilege in other corners of society. In fact, it's the modus operandi of right wing politics to convince impoverished white people (women among them) that their "enemies" lie elsewhere; misdirection, in other words, which a good portion of intersectional feminism focuses on addressing.Ladies and gentlemen, I present ResetEra, the super progressive mega-woke forum where men tell women what their interests are and how to be a proper feminist.
