I never knew I could interrupt men as much as I want and they're sexist if they tell me to stop! My life is changed forever. #DemDebate

(10,345 posts)Feminism is about the equality of men and women, not the oppression of men.
That's called Misandry. And Feminism is a positive movement. Just like BLM, it's not saying that ONLY Black Lives Matter. The phrase seeks to elevate the demographic to equal standing with others.
I wish I didn't have to explain that to people.
Too bad people who came up with BLM slogan never really knew how fucked in head GOP people are. Nuance is not a strong point over at Fox.

(10,345 posts)You've gotta have base compassion in your heart to see it for what it really means. Remember, I'm a stereotypical Bernie supporter, I'm a white milliennial and I've actually had to explain to several black coworkers, all of whom were maybe 40's and up in age? That BLM is a good thing and the phrase All Lives Matter is counter intuitive to the real issue.
The term, Black Lives Matter, when taken at an angle of confrontation, can seem exclusive. And many people felt "confronted" by BLM. But they had to confront. Look how far we've come because of it. I wonder to myself if the outcome would have been any different had they phrased it more politely with BLMT, "Black Lives Matter Too". I don't think it would have been as effective because more people would have been like "Well yeah of course!" but they wouldn't have been pushed to look at it as closely. I dunno.

I realize that many of us are quite capable of juggling more than one thought at a time, but each minute or post that we spend refuting this faux affront is energy wasted on more substantive topics, such as Hillary's shape shifting. She changes her positions so quickly that even her own spokespeople can't keep up.
