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.
Do you hate them more than patriarchal figureheads like Andrew Tate, whom take advantage of this unfairness to deride feminism and reduce any femininity to be a threat to all men?
I’m a guy and I do get it, it sucks to be lumped in with the rest. And if asked, of course you disagree with Andrew Tate. You’re a good guy and feel dismissed. But this viewpoint is very male-centric, and I mean that with the utmost empathy.
Women, almost universally, will experience much worse sexism than being called trash (they are also called trash in certain contexts). So if individuals need to be human and vent their frustrations in a way that doesn’t consider you, it is okay to feel bad - but saying “that’s feminism” is misleading as feminism theory does not conclude this.
Yeah, no, Andrew Tate needs to fucking fall off of a bridge onto a large rusty spike and scream for several hours before he finally dies. People like him that promote toxic masculinity as if it is in any way a good thing are some of the worst people on the planet.
Not to mention that he is a rapist and a predator and a sex trafficker. Like, that’s even aside from that. Just his ideology itself deserves him death.
