Yes, yes, and yes. Feminism is also the only way to liberate men from the Patriarchy as well. It is in my rational self interest as a man to be a feminist. It is naturally an inclusive political stance because it seeks to dismantle the mechanisms that perpetuate gender inequality, it is not about establishing superiority. Giggle was not established to create equality, it was established to create a zone of exclusion. That's not equality. All socialists should be feminists because women's rights are human rights. So too then; Trans rights are human rights. Protecting equality does sometimes require being intolerant of the intolerant. Sorry some bigot got mad because we called her out for being a bigot. Oh wait, she didn't just do that. She created a mechanism of perpetuating bigotry. Tried to use that very exclusion as a selling point for her shitty little app. Honestly, sounds a little worse, right? Because it is.

Understanding the intersection of Marxism and feminism helped me understand how harmful gender roles are to men, too.
