swoz:
When feminists (regardless of gender) call you out for posting something fucked-up, it’s not an affront to you, it’s a call to be a better man. GET OVER IT
specifically its not an affront to your GENDER, its a correction to you as an individual. lets not even say “be a better man,” its be a “better homo sapien”
Implying it’s not OK to be a man, but OK to be a feminist. Neat.
Context kids.
Sooshi’s right, because while this is something I view a lot coming from men, that certain doesn’t mean they’re the only people who get called out for saying something discriminatory/anti-feminist. People of all genders are capable of making statements supporting internalized anti-feminism, and part of stopping that is to step back, analyze what would cause you to say something like that, and pledge to be a better human being.
Because, let’s be honest, slut-shaming, the virgin myth, the glass ceiling, and other such concepts don’t just hurt women/femmes, they hurt people of all genders and therefore, all of humanity.
Thanks for that addition, Morgan :)
