To think feminism’s biggest blind spot is female entitlement?

[FairGameJay]

We talk about male privilege all the time but we rarely look at the ways women leverage social sympathy. AIBU to think equality means accountability too, even when it’s uncomfortable?

examples, please?

Example?

Perhaps you could give some examples?

Need to understand exactly what you mean before I can decide whether or not I agree with you!

Can you be more specific? What do you mean?

Examples? I don't think many sincere feminists would deny some women can be badly behaved or blindly excuse any faults.

No idea what you’re getting at tbh.

Maternity leave?
Flexible working requests?
Is that what you mean?

How did I know the username would be three capitalised words?

Things like expecting emotional leniency because we’re women or using vulnerability to deflect responsibility. For example, when women make poor choices in relationships or workplaces but frame it as something ‘done to’ them rather than something they also contributed to. It’s not about blaming, just about holding both genders to the same standard of self-awareness.

Feeling entitled to be SAHM and be financially supported by partners?

Oh Jay, go back to your Reddit incel sub.

Sorry, I still don't understand. I am not really aware of women "expecting emotional lenience" (whatever that is), or "using vulnerability" (whatever that means) in ways that wouldn't equally apply to men.

Can you give us some more specific examples, as your posts are reading a bit like word salad at the moment.

i don’t see any evidence of women being more prone to this than men.

’Both genders’?

But I thought there were over 100 genders in this wonderful new po-mo world.

Ha, beat me to it!

My example would be exclusion from military service if there is conscription during a war.

fwiw, I think the biggest blind spot of feminism is white feminism.

Do you seriously think women are less self aware than men?! 🤔

I still need an actual example of what the hell you are talking about.

Don’t be silly, @Brefugee — this is the same tripartite-named OP as usual, posting the same clickbait.

I’m making a chicken pie from scratch for dinner tonight.

Maybe if you hold it up in front of your face, it could be a feminist blind spot?

lol, so your best example is when men are really shit but manage to hide it?

You are on MN, your thread will attract all the posters with their "but it's all because of the PATRIARCHY" and everything and anything must be blamed on the PATRIARCHY. No accountably whatsoever. Female entitlement could only be blamed on the PATRIARCHY

Which I find quite insulting, some of us have some basic intelligence and free will, and are not just moulded by centuries of patriarchy and unable to have an original thought, or free will.

Some of us have reach equality before others I guess.

Not less self-aware, just less socially expected to be self-aware in certain contexts. Men tend to get called out more directly for their behaviour, whereas women are often given the benefit of the doubt or framed as victims. That dynamic can make self-reflection harder to practice consistently.
