What about using the stick of the male symbol as one half of the equal sign?

2019-02-01 05:36:02 UTC  

I'm not on my drawing computer right now, makes it harder to describe

2019-02-01 05:37:55 UTC  

Just use the mens rights sub one...

2019-02-01 05:39:27 UTC  

I don't like it at all

2019-02-01 05:39:43 UTC  

It looks like it's saying "semen is equal"

2019-02-01 05:39:52 UTC  

what with the equal sign being in the balls of the male symbol

2019-02-01 05:40:35 UTC  

I mean I get it, it's the "gender equality" symbol without the female symbol, but it just looks bad to me

2019-02-01 05:40:56 UTC  

... I doubt anyone has ever thought that before you just said it

2019-02-01 05:41:18 UTC  

And it's ludicrous.

2019-02-01 05:42:13 UTC  

Yeah, you're probably right. I mean if most people like it, my opinion isn't super relevant

2019-02-01 05:42:59 UTC  

I guess I just feel the point of the gender equality symbol was that the "equal" is in the center of the logo. Here it's in the bottom left

2019-02-01 05:43:02 UTC  

Not as obvious

2019-02-01 05:44:34 UTC  

Ar least don't put it in another circle. In a square it may work better

A man on Twitter tried to start a conversation about older women abusing young boys - and the response was for everyone to start bullying him and attacking him. He didn't even put it in strong terms, but he was instantly accused of 'derailing' conversations about girls being hurt by men. https://www.reddit.com/r/SupportforMen/comments/alyxmc/male_survivor_who_tried_to_start_a_conversation/

The original tweets, starting from Jan 6: https://twitter.com/suaveyoung50/status/1081716484378972160

2019-02-01 09:28:22 UTC  

And here we have an attempt to silence him.... by accusing him of trying to silence girls: https://twitter.com/tdouble_u/status/1081790450716065792

2019-02-01 09:28:48 UTC  

Notice how the attempt to shut him down got more retweets.

2019-02-01 11:15:16 UTC  

"it's derailment" give me a fuckin break.

Feminists: *only cares about females*
Men: "what about males?"
Feminists: reeeEeeeeEEEEEEEE

2019-02-02 08:22:24 UTC  

I mean, people give feminism a bad reputation

2019-02-02 08:22:31 UTC  

I think it's important not to overgeneralise

2019-02-02 11:34:04 UTC  

until feminist start recognizing the hatred and bigotry within their own ranks and start doing something about it I feel no qualms with holding the whole movement responsible for its worst parts

2019-02-02 11:34:30 UTC  

they have no internal checks at all, so the whole concept of 'not my feminism' is bullshit until they hold their own accountable

2019-02-02 11:56:45 UTC  

Feminists can't all speak for each other

2019-02-02 12:09:21 UTC  

no, but they can at least speak up against hatred in their own ranks

2019-02-02 12:09:36 UTC  

I've never seen a feminist hold another accountable for spreading hate

2019-02-02 12:10:20 UTC  

All or most of the feminists who wield power and infest institutions and academia are hateful

2019-02-02 12:10:51 UTC  

You need to read that comment again @~Red~

2019-02-02 12:11:47 UTC  

I'm willing to speak against hatred among feminists

2019-02-02 12:12:07 UTC  

But do you hold any power

2019-02-02 12:12:26 UTC  

Do you make legislation or policies

2019-02-02 12:13:13 UTC  

The people I'm talking about are the top feminists

2019-02-02 12:13:28 UTC  

Like the presidents and top members of NOW

2019-02-02 12:13:35 UTC  

And other feminist organizations

2019-02-02 12:13:40 UTC  

have you, ever, had a conversation with another feminist about the fact that some feminist messages are hateful or promote hatred

2019-02-02 12:14:33 UTC  

just anyone, has the conversation ever come up, have you been apart of or seen anyone in a feminist group speak with any sort of self awareness or questioning about whether something might be of questionable moral standing

2019-02-02 12:14:49 UTC  

because I haven't, and I've looked

2019-02-02 12:15:01 UTC  

and its the most disturbing thing to me about 4th Wave Feminism

2019-02-02 12:16:18 UTC  

and I don't mean any accusation or insult... just have you ever seen anyone question 'the movement' in any form?

2019-02-02 12:18:00 UTC  

but heres the big question... would you feel SAFE questioning it yourself? in public forum? if you brought up any sort of doubt or criticism would you feel safe saying it?

2019-02-02 12:25:15 UTC  

So wait you've never seen anyone question or have a go at feminism?

2019-02-02 12:25:23 UTC  

Online or irl
