      Dude. We’re talking about a person who hates men and boys but also thinks women should have fewer rights and opportunities than them. What would that even look like?

        Feminism is about equality for all genders at its root. Misandrists are not feminists.

            feminism

            noun

            fem·​i·​nism ˈfe-mə-ˌni-zəm

            : belief in and advocacy of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes expressed especially through organized activity on behalf of women’s rights and interests.

            Your ignorance on the subject doesn’t grant you the ability to redefine what feminism is.

              “Sexes” not genders this movement predates any discourse on trans rights and related. This movement has always been about women hence the name. Then “organized activity on behalf of women’s rights and interests”. If you think women should be able to vote, own property, have bank accounts, have bodily autonomy, etc. You are for women’s rights and interests, and it is possible to hate men at the same time. In the same way that a black person can hate white people and still fight for racial equality. It’s not ideal but it is possible. You are both redefining the word and gatekeeping entry to the movement.

              I’m a man and I do not care if a feminist feels some kinda way about men. They have really good reasons to. Maybe they’ll feel better if and when those reasons go away. Hopefully I can earn their trust by being an ally to them. You don’t get to kick them out of the movement.

                Also you keep insisting on commenting in here, but this is a women’s only space.

                Kindly fuck off.

                Misandrists are not automatically feminists because they hate men.

                Feminism is not inherently about hating men. It’s about equality for everyone.

                  I have been saying that. Feminists are not misandrists, but Misandrists can be feminists and always are because of course they would choose to be. You can be both, some people are, and media focuses on them to undermine feminism.

                    Not that all feminists are misandrists but all misandrists are feminists and this is amplified in media.

                    You said ALL misandrists are feminists.

                    Do you even read what you write or do you just spew it out like diarrhea?
