In reply to the discussion: My problem isn't self-identifying as a feminist in front of men, it's women [View all]boston bean
(36,221 posts)Someone who thinks women ought to just feel so blessed bye him because of his self proclaimed title, then gets all upset when women are jumping up and down for joy, is part of the problem, no? I see a lot of this. And which is why I have come to the conclusion I have come to.
And this OP leads directly to my point that feminism is a womens movement, not a mens movement. We are struggling for equal rights for women. There is nothing wrong with that.
Many groups have focused goals. Men who are real allies, understand why women think they are being a bit to loose with the label, and would understand the reasoning for women to control that space.
That isn't what I got from the OP, you? No he wants to control just by his mere utterance of the words that "I am a feminist".
That is anathema to feminism, imho.
