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 played a game called “smear the queer” as a closeted gay teen. When the LGBTQ+ community took the word ‘queer’ back, I resisted. It brought up terrible feelings in me. Turns out I had to do some inner work to heal what the world told me to believe about my own people. There was no other way I could be a proud gay man if I refused the label that gave our community our power back. If you want a word that feels better than ‘feminism,’ you’ll find endless external validation online. If you want to feel proud of being a man or worthy of the woman you marry, you’ll have to drown out that noise and look inward.
