    Theres plenty of rich people who want to kill trans folk too.

    I’m not arguing against there being a huge issue around the uber rich. But people were racist and homophobic and transphobic and misogynistic with every kind of class divide. It doesn’t help that the uber rich are spreading this kind of ideology, but it would exist without them.





  • 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.
