          “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.

              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.

                  Read it again everything I’ve said is consistent. They are all feminists but not all feminists are misandrists. Someone who is anti men is going to be pro women’s rights, not by definition but because they always are.
