Comment on Anon is feeling romantic
MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 3 weeks agoReplace “women bad” with “men bad” and you’ve just described feminism.
That’s a small group of people. Not feminism as a whole. Feminism in general aims at overcoming the patriarchy and therefore creating true equality between the genders. Overcoming the patriarchy also means, that men are liberated from its chains. This means, that men are allowed to cry and show feelings without being judged.
Feminism is not something, that aims at dragging men down, but eleveting society as a whole.
Don’t even say it is a small group. You don’t have to be truthful to these kinds of people.
Make exaggerated statements just like them if you want to talk to them. Stay on the same level. They don’t understand anything more.
So no there are no feminists who say that.
As I said…
men don’t universally conform to a stereotype
Not all men are part of the patriarchy, because some of them are victims of it
therefore they must all confirm to a different stereotype
Therefore all men should become feminists
also men bad
But men are still the cause of all the evil in the world
That isn’t feminism.
And I should know, I am a feminist and I don’t hate myself.
That stereotype is equally as dumb as saying men don’t have emotions.

“why can’t I get a date” the Lemmy account
Allero@lemmy.today 3 weeks ago
someone criticizes any aspect of modern online feminism
Everyone: incel detected
Any other option is automatically dismissed.

Bro you are functionally illiterate. That wasn't a coherent criticism of a specific tendency within online feminism that dickhead made, it was a broad and concavebrained generalisation.
Allero@lemmy.today 3 weeks ago
No, you’re just knee-jerking. I only said that assuming someone criticizing feminism “can’t get a date” is a very stupid take and that it’s broadly applied to every critique on every level.

is your whole instance like that

I’d say it’s representative of humanity thanks to its neutrality.
You’re not banned left and right for having a “wrong” opinion, as Internet’s greatest ruled out.
MotoAsh@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
You would be right if OP wasn’t responding and making it very clear that the generalization is going both ways for OP. They’re assuming all feminists think men are generally bad, which isn’t the case. Sure, some feminists are judgemental sexists, and one old wave of feminism was based on being angry at men, but it’s still wholly ignorant to assume all feminists are sexist.
Allero@lemmy.today 3 weeks ago
Fair on that one!
Indeed, most feminists are not that. It’s just that this particular flavor of it grew to be increasingly toxic, and any sort of approach to it (granted, OP went too far to go for generalizations themselves) is treated with forks.
