Are you exhausted of machismo toxic-masculinity?
Do you have a hunch that male toxicity is permeating in other areas of our lives, and damaging them?
Are you secretly rooting for your female boss to win over another male because you know they won't place the same god awful expectations onto you that other males do?
Let's remember that feminism is not new. It's been around since, at least, the 20's (politically speaking).
We've definitely had a pop culture feminism resurgence, that is vomited all over instagram, which helps.
But men are confused.
Why are they being left out?
Why are we silencing them?
Why are they so mad?
Not that we have to explain ourselves to you, because one of the main arguments against men is that you need to do the work yourself, but I'll take one for the team, know that it's exhausting.
First, please read as many books on feminism first, before arguing with us.
Second, understand that if we are angry, we have every right to be. We have been silenced for centuries and now that we are using our voice, you are asking us to be nice? And say what we need to say eloquently? Boy please, have you been perfect all your life? Don't you realize we are only hurting one another?
I want feminism for the same reason you want "male rights". If you don't realize the NEED for feminism and solely for male rights, then you have no idea what feminism about. So please read a book.
By male rights, which you already have because male power PERMEATES in the fucking wind, but maybe you are a "lesser male"?
DING DING DING DING, this is why you need feminism.
In our view there is no "lesser male", "weaker male", just like there is no "weaker sex".
If we left you out it's because we didn't feel safe around you.
Because we were tired of your male gaze.
Because we needed time to heal our traumas before we focused on YOU.
Sure in a million years when we are all officially more equal, you can be more than welcome in these conversations and we can begin to share more closely
But , do we really need "more men at the table?" . You are already there?!
You need more "rights"? We never had them until the 20's! Read history!
We have aggregately lost compensation and equity and you want us to save you some space??
How about move over so that we can return the favor.
Because you need us, you need us to be in power, so that male toxicity doesn't have power over you.
Does that make sense?
We don't want a world of conquest over community
Of competition over collaboration
Of disruption over healing .
We are with you and you didn't even realize it.
