Anonymous How do you feel about insulting someone's physical appearance if they're a douchebag? Obviously not cool for women, even if they're evil, but I got chewed out by a feminist friend for remarking, accurately, that this creepy guy I know is a greasy, acne-maimed, obese mouthbreather. I mean, yeah fatphobia is bad and all but I don't get why feminists should have to care about the feelings of males, especially male creeps.

Honestly, as despicable as they might be, I just don’t think you should throw insults at them related to their physical appearance because when you call them an acne-maimed, obese mouthbreather you’re also indirectly insulting those who might suffer from acne and obesity etc who have wonderful personalities. Instead of insulting them for their looks, I say be critical of their personality and actions.





Feminists shouldn’t have to care if they insult men because they’re fighting against the patriarchy. The truth fucking hurts and that’s just too bad they can’t handle it. That’s not to say you should go around spewing out hate and saying “I’m going to kill you” to random men on a sidewalk. I don’t think you should say that to anyone tbh. I do think we should care about a males feelings (and not because he’s a male or something), such as if a boy has been bullied. that’s not so much a feminist issue, but I think anyone should care if someone is directing harm at someone they know regardless of their race, sex etc. It’s just that feminists couldn’t care less if men are hurt because we’re trying to liberate us from their patriarchy. Idk how to explain it better, but I hope you see what I’m trying to say?
