    So fuck men all together is what I’m hearing. Including the ones who voted against trump. Sounds like they’re just an average feminist.

      Sounds like you’ve already made your mind up, but feminism is about equality. They fight for men’s wellbeing too. Moving toward an end to toxic masculinity, for example, is a big one on the objectives of the majority of feminists who actually embody feminism.

      Pointing at the word “feminism” and going “but what about meninism” is just a scapegoat to continue hating them for no reason.

      There are ““feminists”” who do not embody feminism at all: trans exclusionary radical feminists, or sex worker exclusionary radical feminists, are two examples of groups who use the name but don’t embody the values. They’re just as disgusting as any other transphobe or misogynist, honestly. But yeah, thats not feminism.

      As a feminist, one of the biggest concerns on my mind, after obvious stuff like equal opportunity and eradicating harassment, is the appallingly evident void of education, role models, and support for young men in terms of their emotional wellbeing and understanding of the world and people around them. That is an issue of concern for me as part of being a feminist, not just a general concern.

      Being a feminist is wanting equality between all sexes and genders. Misandrism is thinking women are better than men.
