To be a true feminism, I need to address my own misandry?

[FerrisWheelTrain]

For example - are terms like LTB sexist?

LTB applies to both sexes, bastards come in a variety of forms.

Or your feminism could actually focus on women?

I don’t think you understand feminism, that should probably be the starting point.

What now?

No.

@Naunet - ok - what don’t I understand?

Who's the arbiter of what a true feminist is?

@ArmchairTraveller nah - term used on mumsnet, 99% of time applies to a man!

Yeah, probably.

@FOJN me, you, everyone.

Because probably around 99% if MN users are female?

It can also mean Leave the Bitch so that term already practices sex equality.

That would seem to be presupposing that men and women have equal power atm. Women suffer as the result of men’s actions and fifty years after the Equal Opportunities Act, don’t have financial equality.

@acatcalledjohn so ‘dadsnet’ all using the acronym ‘LTB’. Would we be up in arms about misogany?

@Tavannach yes - we are viewed as the oppressed

What's wrong with LTB?

@Tavannach in implicit bias tests against oppression, all apply until it comes to gender. Why is that?

Maybe consider some misoganoffy pie for afters?

You probably shouldn't cook it yourself though.

What's misogynist about a man suggesting that another man in an abusive relationship leave the bitch, if women quite happily say leave the bastard?

@HeyDemonsItsYaGirl

I think we have an MRA here. Probably looking for screenshots.

Reckon you're right. . .

Well for a start why on earth do you think you’d need to “address your misandry” to be a “true” feminist? How does that fit in with feminism? My guess is, it’s because you think feminism is about equality, but that’s equalitarianism, not feminism.

@acatcalledjohn the term ‘bitch’

Ltbis about males because most posters are women talking about their male partner.
Sometimes a lesbian or a straight man will post and if it's ltb worthy then they get ltb (bitch)

Feminism is not about putting men first, soothing egos, making sure you don't upset their feelings then get their blessing to turn your attention to women.

It's ok to put women first and not prioritise men's feelings when discussing abuse of women, unequal treatment and so on.

They'll cope.

me, you, everyone.

We might have very different ideas. True feminism suggests you think there an approved way of being a feminist.
