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

[FerrisWheelTrain]

For example - are terms like LTB sexist?

Sorry, no idea what you mean.

Is this an example of implicit bias?

@naunet - but feminism IS about equality

Loads of LTB on Dadsnet, I just looked.

@Tavannach but from that horrific incident, do we assume all men are like that?

@naunet - but feminism IS about equality

Nope. you’re confusing feminism with equalitarianism. Like I said, learn what feminism actually is, that’s the first step.

@BitOfFun

Maybe consider some misoganoffy pie for afters?

I don’t guffaw at things online very often, but I made an exception for this

To be a true feminist you have to be female and center females. HTH

'Is the term LTB sexist?'

How old are you, 13

Try harder. Equality doesn't mean fairness to begin with, and in this world of 'equality', women are bring treated more unfairly than ever.

Feminism isn't about equality. On the surface many of society's structures have "equality" policies, and yet structural, societal and physical misogyny doesn't only still exist - it is getting worse.

@Naunet how - define both terms for me?

[quote FerrisWheelTrain]@ArmchairTraveller nah - term used on mumsnet, 99% of time applies to a man![/quote]
There's a reason for that.

@BrumBoo are men being treated unfairly?

That sounds quite indigestible 🤣

And feminism doesn't demand simpering kindness, so women are still allowed to swear and call people names.

I love how the natural wariness of many women towards the sex that has historically designated us as chattel with no right to vote, own property or even have custody of our own children, and that even now murders, rapes and objectifies us to the point of non-humanity has been recast as irrational hatred or 'misandry'.

If we uphold a stereotypical view of men to be the norm, are we doing men a disservice?

I can't think of any examples instantly where men as a sex are objectively treated unfairly. Can you?

[quote FerrisWheelTrain]@Naunet how - define both terms for me?[/quote]
Why should they need to? What's that saying again? Oh yeah. "Go educate yourself".

...are men being treated unfairly?

I don’t think feminism means what you think it means.

@BrumBoo yes! Assuming all police are bastards due to the action of - I would hope - a minority.

Maybe, if men don't like being referred to as bastards, they shouldn't act like bastards.

No. Men are doing men a disservice. Perhaps you should have a conversation with them about what they can do about male violence and misogyny.

@Naunet how - define both terms for me?

Ahh ok, so you did think they were the same thing?! Yeah, I’m not going to explain the differences to you, too long! You should really do some reading on the subject. I suspect you would be more comfortable identifying as an equalitist rather than a feminist.

Who's "we"?
