  • And in this way I fully, %100 agree. Not sure your original comment gets that across personally I guess.

    I agree that “antisexism” may be a better way to frame it in a vacuum, and perhaps even in the future. But I also think that in the present it is much harder to get across than the difference between a feminist and feminazi that is already more culturally defined if you get what I mean?

    Anyways, I honestly think at this point we agree and that this conversation has become pointless semantics. :P



  • The amount of things created without everyone/everything in mind would be… A lot.

    For a LONG time, feminism has meant more than what it was created for a VERY VERY long time ago. I concede its name doesn’t do it’s purposes justice… But again - my last paragraph in my initial reply.

    You bring up non-binary people… And tbh that’s part of my point. If we create movements that exclude, then… Well… That’s exactly what will happen given any particular movement’s success.

    Chasing equality is harder. It takes more effort to push against existing inequalities than it takes to create equitable alternatives… But in the end it means breaking down all these differences people use to separate others and drive inequality in the first place.








  • Okay, but as a woman, it’s a LOT better for everyone to understand feminism is FOR EVERYONE. Whether its in the name or not, the point is that everyone should have the same rights regardless of sex/gender.

    I generally really hate movements that separate people by the very things the problem at hand separates people by. Like… No… People are people ffs - THAT, is what matters. Equality > Equity - its better in the long term and doesn’t further segregate ideals.



  • Holy crap dude, you’re like… The guy version of what I lived in college… And am living the aftermath of now… Still… Years later…

    Please. I don’t know what you’re going through, but try to take a step back before its too late and stay strong. Be kind to yourself… Those you are supporting WILL want you to be okay too, and diving too deep may make things worse for everyone eventually… If you let yourself burn out, they may need, or at least feel the need to support you. Hell, you may even honestly need that if you go too deep. It is much better to pace yourself.

    An idol can become a warning…


  • Hey, I get it. I have a very similar sort of deal going on around July and September personally…

    It really isnt easy… I look back at the art I was making before and after the 3-year series of events and its just… Wow. I wish I could be like me 3 years ago…

    You’re seen. And I know nothing about you beyond this comment, but I personally feel a sense of “we’re in this together!” that eases my mind, and I hope this comment has done the same for you.

    Love your way <3
