Comment on Men Overran a Job Fair for Women in Tech

This list comes across as very self-serving though. It’s basically saying men’s issues are only a problem for Feminism when it can be framed as also impacting women. I read the parent poster as calling for rising above a narrow single gender view of equal rights.

Well yes. Feminism is focused on the specific forms of inequality that women and folk perceived as women face.

However, the cause root cause of that inequality often creates issues for everyone, not just women. So feminism isn’t “at odds” with mens rights, but rather, addressing the issues that women face will improve issues for men too, because of those shared root causes.

Sexism is inevitably a mirror. Treating girls and women differently inevitably has an impact on boys and men.

If you can think of a legitimate demand to improve life for boys and men which is not also a feminist issue, name it.

If you’re complaining that feminists aren’t backing up Men’s Rights Activists when they call for the right to rape or enserf women, then I can’t help you.
