Seen this on reddit and thought it was an interesting question that largely is not talked about.
It is largely an issue that gets sidelined and hidden because people don’t want to talk about it or accept that it exists. Hopefully this gets some traction to break that marginalisation.
Really? I have to hate myself in order to have compassion for those who aren’t like me? Is that how it goes?
Depends if you are a man or not but at modern feminism(ally) times men are enemies so according to my POV nowadays yes you have to hate yourself.
Yes, white man, all my life in fact. But you know what? I don’t hate all white men, similarly those aren’t the only groups I care about either.
I don’t get it. I’m not on the oppressed side so I should just smile and look the other way?
Edit: I think you’re confusing being an “ally”, which is not exclusive to feminism, with extreme feminism.
Too many people fall for black and white thinking and tribalism. If you support X you must be against Y, or if you don’t support X you must support Y.
