Idk who needs to hear this but there is nothing as an ‘ally’ to the feminist movement or even a ‘male feminist’ patriarchy has affected all of us and hence we strive for equality so all genders can benefit. Males have also faced the burnt of patriarchy. It’s not like the - 1/n
- the LGBT+ community where if Gay rights are attained it will not affect CisHet population in anyway.
If there are more gender neutral rape laws then it’s for both genders, if martial rape is criminalised then there is more equality in the institution of marriage. 2/n
The whole point is don’t speak over women when they are talking about their experiences with patriarchy. And women shouldn’t speak over men when they talk about toxic masculinity and sexual abuse. (Sorry for the gender binary) Feminism is a movement for everyone. 3/n
The LGBT+ Movement is for the community you can’t equate the two.
If you are feminist then you are just a feminist irrespective of your gender. Don’t try to take over the mic when someone is talking about their experiences, women have obviously faced more oppression than men4/n
and hence by the concept of equity require more empowerment and upliftment, but that doesn’t change feminist to a JUST women rights movement it’s a movement for equality for all genders. As patriarchy has affected all of us.5/5
