Re: Self-victimization
Oh dear...
Lets just get this out of the way:
No True Scotsman Feminist hates men.
According to Emma Watson (and the UN), if you are for equality then whether you are male or female (or other), you are a feminist.
No True Scotsman GamerGater hates feminists.
It is right to be concerned about the integrity of people who present themselves as neutral.
Meanwhile...
While people like to draw lines in the sand between "Us" and "Them" they quite often draw them in the wrong place.
There are scumbags who threaten to rape the mutilated corpse of the target of their abuse. There are scumbags who believe that the male 'race' should be put on reservations and be allowed to die out once we have the technology to make babies without sperm. That women should shut up and do as their told, under threat of violence. Who deludedly think that if/when what they percieve as the 'Patriarchy' is replaced then we wont have war anymore.
It is our shame as a collection of societies that it's the most hate filled sets of these voices are oh so much louder than the rest. Shouting past each other, bringing out customised sets of strawmen to undermine what is 'other'.
When one set of scumbags does a particulally effective job? Blame the victim? Wow.
When a victim uses an atack as a rallying cry against the attackers... some how you think thats wrong? That the attack was a false flag op to milk symapthy? Wow.
Please go away.
My personal view on feminism?
Has to pass the hipocracy test.
If obectifying women is demeaning, then objectifying men is demeaning. If a woman lusting after a man is a male power fantacy, then the opposite is true. Otherwise it is not equal by defnintiton.
