Apparently this is an unpopular opinion among feminists. If feminism is about equality for everyone, it needs to address that. As an example, LGBTQ+ was extended many times to cover everyone in the community, and that’s the right thing to do. There isn’t just L and everyone repeats “Oh! Lesbians are for rights for everyone, no need to update that”
I don’t know what the new name should be, but it should cover gender equality for everyone.
I wouldn’t take this as an attack on your character like you’ve said. It’s drawing a correlation between that situation and your opinion.
BLM when it started is all about bringing attention and equality to black individuals and communities. Think of it as black people saying, “hey, we matter too”. Conservatives, as a means to attack and weaken the movement said, “not just black lives matter, all lives matter” which is true, but all lives matter doesn’t bring attention to the parity between black people’s situations and white’s.
My first reaction when reading your post was similar to the person you responded to, but not because I think your a bad person, but maybe because of a misunderstanding or skewed view of what feminism is and stands for.
If you had said, feminism shouldn’t exist because males matter too, then I would have said you’re intentionally being like the all lives matter crowd with the intent of keeping the disparity between genders in place. But you didn’t.
