Just saw this while scrolling on fedi being posted by this user: @Rasta@zeroes.ca

Black text on a pink background reading: 'There is no "gender war." Women didn't take away men's right to vote. Women didn't ban men from education or property. Women didn't write laws controlling men's bodies. Women didn't build systems that stripped men of their freedom. The imbalance never ran both ways. @sheinspiresstrength'

One group is fighting for their freedom but members of the other group complain when they succeed.

Belle Hicks said it right, though, feminism is for everyone. A system that fucks over one group isn't going to treat anyone else fairly, either. More men should be fighting on our side, as much for themselves as for us.

    Strongly agree, feminism is for the benefit of all genders. The freedom for men to express themselves without being compared to women as an insult as an example.

    We are stronger when we have empathy and kindness upheld as ideals instead of seen as feminine and thus weak.

    You know, if it weren't for specifically you, velma, I would have instance-blocked sh.itjust.works ages ago. So many shit takes from that single instance.

    I have to admit that I stay on this instance for mostly superficial reasons - the name is witty and I like the UI lol

    I should use my blahaj account more often again ;)
