It's something I've seen thrown at women a fair bit. Feminazi, stripping men's rights, feminism has gone too far blah blah. Has anyone ever accused you of it? And any women said this to you?
You're viewing a single thread.
I've been accused of this a fair bit. I couldn't tell you how often I've talked about women's issues to be told "but what about men... you're being reverse exist etc". I've lost count of how many men have said about "men's rights" when it's not a pie, more for us don't mean less for them. It's particularly nasty online, breathe a word about feminism and you can be attacked HARD.
I've had comments from women but far less so. I've been accused of thinking all men are bad when ones behaviour was creeping me out (turned out I was right). Sadly I've worked with a woman in the domestic abuse field who put the perpetrator first. She'd excuse and defend him, and was always talking about how hard life was for men and what "man hating feminists" had done to them. Unsurprisingly she was in an abusive relationship.
It seems feminism is a dirty word to a lot of people which is sad
What I have started doing is comparing, every time someone I know disparages a woman driver or someone in the workplace. I bring up all the men we know who have done the same thing or worse. I am hoping that by constantly putting the spotlight on how women are treated and talked about differently something will eventually click. It seems that women have been the automatic punchline for too many jokes for too long.
Edit: It’s frustrating because each time we know many more men who are terrible drivers, act very illogically/emotionally. But point this out and it’s always excuses “oh, well (the man) drives more that’s why he’s had more accidents, there are more opportunities” never mind the fact that he has a history of being reckless/not-paying attention and is usually the one at fault. But when a woman driver is rear ended, it’s always “oh, hehe women drivers”.
That's a really clever idea! In the UK young mens car insurance is waaayyy high because they're most likely to have mishaps. Not women!
It’s the same in the US. My brother likes to use the opportunity excuse, trying to claim that men drive more than women. But I swear it’s like all their heads are stuck 80 years in the past. Most of the arguments are “men have to go to work, so they drive more”.
Well they are right. We women spend our times childbearing, doing chores and sewing. We absolutely never work EVER.
Obviously. 🙄 Not to mention I think most full time moms I know drive more than their husbands, running errands and kids everywhere.
No that is a lie it is the big strong men that do that. Our arms are too puny to reach the steering wheel and anyway raising kids and errands are easy so beneath men
Thank you for your contribution, but unfortunately this community has a rule that only women are permitted to comment. Hope you understand! 💙
As far as I am aware I have always been a woman.
Edit: Sorry, I know I don’t advertise that information anywhere. I have always been a social media minimalist.
No need to be sorry about that, nobody expects you to advertise that information, lol
