This girl I was talking to said "you& #39;re either a feminist or a sexist" and like... Feminist isn& #39;t a label that you apply to yourself and all of a sudden you& #39;re good to go. I& #39;ve met "feminist progressive" men who are pieces of shit under all that wokeness
This whole binary of "if you& #39;re not a feminist you& #39;re automatically a bad person" is why so many people understand and accept that what we say is right, but don& #39;t call themselves feminist.
Feminism to me is a way of living and treating people with respect and dignity

Feminism has changed my life, but I think looking down on people who don& #39;t call themselves that, especially when they& #39;re respectful toward women, is condescending, small-minded and frankly a bit classist
Hell, I& #39;ve seen feminist women defend and befriend men they know are creepy and inappropriate. It& #39;s ridiculous to me how feminism& #39;s just become a buzzword now, even for feminists themselves. Fuck dude, it& #39;s not as simple as feminist and sexist JFC
I have so much love for feminism when feminists talk about deep rooted issues in our vocabulary, society, culture, media etc. I love learning and growing from that.
But turning it into an exclusive club, like some sort of cult, I& #39;m not here for that narrative

It is a way of life. It is in the way we talk to and treat each other. And if someone& #39;s being a non-problematic person saying they& #39;re not a feminist, attacking them for it or not acknowledging criticisms about the movement... Seems counterproductive, to say the least
Never will I ever think it& #39;s okay to bully or harass someone because they& #39;re a feminist nor will I ever say that. And I& #39;ll also never think it& #39;s okay to bully or harass someone because they don& #39;t identify as that.
Anyway this rant went on way too long and I still have so many thoughts about it, maybe even some alienation, feel free to tell me if I& #39;ve betrayed womankind
