I don't think that men shouldn't be criticised, and I do think that women and femmes deserve a space to be able to vent their frustrations with patriarchy. But there comes a point where criticism and venting become bullying.
But there comes a point where criticism and venting become bullying.
I just think there is a distinction in purely online phenomenon (in mass forums) vs IRL harassment (or anything more persistent). Anyway, I guess all I want to say is that people need to log off so I am going to follow my own advice now (in a bit).
You are never gonna have every person on your side. Be it as a man, a woman, or genderfluid. It’s not your responsibility to be liked by everyone. Only that you affirm your humanity.
Men are trash is not really a dehumanizing act, more of a critique. Just be a good “man”, whatever that means to you.
This is why I fucking hate left-wing spaces sometimes. Justifying legitimate sexism as "venting" is fucking gross and all it does it alienate people who would actually agree with us. The reason I started moving to the left is because I saw how fucking hypocritical liberals (tumblr feminists etc.) and right-wingers were and the left seemed to reject that.
This kind of shit is the reason tumblrinaction and other alt-right recruiting grounds find it so easy. We are either against racism and sexism entirely, or we're just as hypocritical as the liberals.
