  How much do you know about feminism?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not. Have you read much on it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Source? You’re speaking with a lot of authority here and I’m not sure you fully know what you’re talking about. What you seem to be calling anti-sexism is often called intersectional feminism.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  The comment thread I replied to didn’t start with feminism but with fears of being seen as a misogynist when bringing up OP’s points. This naturally led to a conversation about feminism being a movement that aims to abolish this kind of thing.

  I’m replying to a comment about feminism, moron.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t like being associated with anti-racism for a single reason - not everyone agrees that both black and white people suffer, and the blame is often shifted on white people as “carriers of systemic racism”. Besides, it is originally about black people fighting for their rights, not white people, and at any point in time black people can note that it’s for and about black people, effectively shaking off the very white people who promoted it - and to some degree, they will be correct.

  We can do better by building a wider anti-racist community. At the end of the day, all we want, as long as we act in good faith, is for everyone to be equal in their rights and opportunities. Black people face racism. White people face racism. Some of it stems from systemic racism, some of it might come from other angles. We should come together not under the banner of pro-black, not under the banner of pro-white, but from the neutral ground if we ever hope to achieve a society that treats #AllLives as equals.

  This is how these posts come across to me.

  There’s a power imbalance. Feminism is about bringing women up and redistributing the power.

  Men should be able to talk about their issues. And I feel like they usually are. It’s not a problem.

  It’s a problem when it’s done to hijack a conversation about women. Or when it’s done without awareness of the history of the power imbalance.

  A lot of it isn’t to be taken personally and if it is, I think that says something about you. When I hear blame and anger towards privileged groups that I’m a part of, even if I suffer too, my gut reaction is never “but…” I understand that it’s a reaction to the power, the history, and the general picture.

  It’s beautiful. Thank goodness, otherwise I would have probably gotten Paris syndrome on my trip.

  Paris syndrome is a sense of extreme disappointment exhibited by some individuals when visiting Paris, who feel that the city does not live up to their expectations.

  If those capitalized words were in all caps, it wouldn’t read the same way. I agree it’s confusing at first, though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No looky for you!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It looks weird but admittedly, once deciphered, it’s a pretty good way of making you read it in a very specific way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No looky for you!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Long pauses I would guess
