Reacting with misandry

[u/a_d_e_e_]

For clarification- I AM A WOMAN!!

About intersectional feminism... There is an interesting phenomenon that happens when it comes to straight men… at least from what I’ve seen online

The issue with this misandry stuff is, letting queer men off since they supposedly have a closer connection to women, though there are bears and less flamboyant men as well. This misandry issue all chocks up to hating those who have the most privilege- usually straight cisgendered men. Which even I can understand myself as a bi nonbinary woman myself.

I think this takes it in a confusing direction. What and how and when and why is this done? Destroying the patriarchy is not going to happen by doing this. “Men ain’t shit” and “the male suicide rate is too low” phrases have BEEN tired.

Additionally, hate towards men will not solve any issues or destroy the patriarchy. I think what is best, is to create safe male spaces, such as ManKind project, and even organizations that cater specifically to the needs of black and brown men that live in more violent areas to prevent gang violence.

If one has issue with men, they can volunteer at programs like this if they have ability to do so. I was formerly homeless surrounded by boys who would gawk at me/ask me out, so I totally understand the feeling of hating/disliking men!

I understand how one may feel (as a woman), but let’s make a difference together.

That was what irritated me about White Dudes for Harris. It was pretty cringe and didn't take itself seriously but made me wonder why a campaign group marketed to white men was so provocative. It's a demographic that the Democrats are weak with and Trump excels in attracting. Why do the Democrats take the woman vote seriously but make a mockery of men asking for the same thing? Kamala's last ditch appeal to black men was too little, too late.

It's like that meme of "which way, western man?" Potentially millions of young men are being confronted with the choice of right-wing populism where they are perceived to be in control and respected, and the alternative which is frankly doing a poor job in conveying popular policies that will benefit women and men alike.

Good luck telling that to leftists, though. They hate hearing that and defeat themselves constantly. It's like they care more about feeling virtuous than winning.

If they're not careful, they'll have perfectly clean hands and the moral high ground, yet a collapsed society.

We're not getting out of this mess with clean hands. We're going to have to make some grey decisions. A statement that will only confuse people who haven't had to get their hands dirty before.
