The expression “cheetahs run fast” is true, even if a slow cheetah, for example a wounded cheetah, is still a cheetah. Thus, the expression “men are trash” is true, even if a non-trashy man is still a man. The insistence on saying “not all men” every time someone says “men are trash” is just a new demonstration of the problem.
(I’m a cis man myself, BTW.)
Edit: this article explains it better than I could.
Maybe. But an analogy can be rightly used or wrongly used. Racism use this analogy to speak about genetics, biology, to spead hatred; feminism use this analogy to make changes in men and manhood, and spread respect. The difference is essential.
It’s the old paradox of tolerance, but applied to respect. Respecting oppressors wont bring respect. And we men oppress women as a “demographic”, even if we don’t individually want to. I know I individually don’t want to, but I know my privileges, and if a woman passes me alone on a poorly lit street, I know she is not in danger, but she cannot know that and will have good reason to be afraid.
I don’t want for women to be afraid anymore, I don’t want men to be called trash anymore, but the solution is to stop, as a “demographic” and not as individuals, to be dangerous for women. And the first step is to recognize the problem!
And who largely occupies positions of power, whether political, economic, cultural or social? Men. And women who proved that they can be man-like. Society is trash because men are trash.
I just want things to change. The situation is dire for women, we men must acknowledge that if we want equality. This thread and the reactions here are a confirmation that I’m right.
Yikes that’s sad. Another generation of men hating femcels shooting themselves in the foot because of inherited prejudice. There’s a big difference between calling out bad actors within your group (which I do with fellow guys regularly) and being misandrist. Seems like you got henpecked pretty hard

I’ve seen the same analogy used to justify racism.

I’m pretty sure calling a demographic trash is a poor way to spread respect.

So your solution is to act as the oppressor to force a whole demographic to stop oppression?
No.
Is your sex not also based on genetics and biology?
Yes, but violence and power-thirst is not a biological trait of men. It’s a cultural one.
So it’s society that’s trash, not all men.

So you’re just a misandrist pretending to be feminist.

There is somw biology involved regarding hormones etc., but yes that is a good point to make that distinction.
Congrats on being the first male femcel I’ve seen on the internet
I’m a married man with daughters. I want a better world for them.

I’m no misandrist. I’m just capable of reading statistics. Our world is not safe for women, and if you deny that, you’re a part of the problem.
Plenty of racists claim not to be racist. This doesn’t make their racist opinions suddenly not racist. Nice try tho
And plenty of people are accused wrongly of things, this doesn’t make the wrong accusations true. Nice try tho.
If you want a better world, maybe start with yourself and end your discrimination.
Do you actually believe that men are negatively discriminated?
I don’t need to believe. I just need to look at what you yourself have commented on this thread.
