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.

Virginity.

More accurately, the important factor to me concerning virginity is that I believe virginity is not important at all. I am not here to bash people who do believe it’s important, but I do have a problem with people who judge others for not having the same standards as them, and that goes both ways. Virgins shame non-virgins, call them “sluts,” tell them they should have waited, call them useless, etc. Non-virgins shame virgins, call them clueless, idiots, and claim they know nothing about sex and sometimes, about the world. I’ve experienced judgement from both sides, and I’m not saying my experiences encompass all experiences of all people, but this is my opinion.
