Growth isn't linear. Its foolish to assume unlearning centuries worth of internalized prejudices can be discarded like that. You can't become a feminist by removing the janeu of patriarchy in a single ceremony.

It is a lifelong conscious effort to stop, introspect your privilege

and use it to help people who need the positive discrimination. Unlearning means you have to think about your actions and words every night before you sleep and see what you still need to learn.

I've been a feminist for 4 years, and still, I sometimes find myself lacking.

I find myself holding unwarranted prejudice against people who're equally or even more capable than me at some things, I catch myself mansplaining to friends. I won't say its hard to be a male-feminist, because there's nothing easier than being a man.

I learn everyday, because there's just so much discourse that I haven't had, voices I haven't heard and people I haven't met. But being a male-feminist means you don't get to dictate what's right or wrong. It means you become humble enough to listen, learn and shut the fuck up.

I don't know what's the point of this thread. Just listen, accept accountability and constantly introspect, I guess.
