Feminism actually never changed.
Feminism has always been about gynocentrism.
The dichotomy strengthens the current power holders
So, if we are all for egalitarianism - great - but I will do hell to conflate the two.
You won't catch me dead equating the two.
We got to where we are in fits and starts, but I'm glad that we have achieved what we have. Racial equality, equality of the sexes, enhanced personal liberty and agency, etc. Now we just need to deal with the less savory consequences. I'd like to see us do that without losing the good stuff.
We can also discuss pretty much any feminist author if you don't believe me.
Yes, agree, but here's the rub:
We've shifted from the original point of contention but okay
We don't have those though
WIth the excesses we are facing now, we might very well be in the process of "losing the good stuff".
We went too far one way
That is what I am truly scared of. Things such as due process.
We have always been inclined towards women.
We have been inclined towards possessing and protecting women
Women get away with murder. There was a point when prosecutors were discussing no longer prosecuting women for murder, because they would usually cry in a court room and the jury would often let them get off.
I am scared nowadays to even interact with women.
I don't want my friends, brothers, or father to have to deal with false alelgations, for example.
We have gone absolutely batshit crazy in that regard.
I know two people who have dealt with false accusations- one legally and one socially
And how did it go?
A friend of a friend committed suicide over it.
Yikes
Those things actually happen a lot.
One went to prison and then was let out when it was revealed it was untrue, one was nearly completely isolated but I vouched for him
Thank god.
And it was later 100% confirmed that the accuser was lying in the latter case
If we cam stop false allegations it would be nice
I was the only one though
I flipped two other people
But if I had followed the narrative he would have lost his whole social circle
I am glad you were there then.
The cases have been insane recently

So am I. It was shit too, because I was friends with both of them
