We DO understand. But as a guy it's really fucking frustrating to here "yeah but women have this as an issue" whenever a guy tries to relate to them in even the slightest way. Feminism is not about one-upping every guy who says something about oppression of men. It is about everyone having equal rights. Those who forget this fact are what is wrong with feminism.

actually you dont, its frustrating when men act like they’re trying to “relate” but are really just trying to take the focus off of our problems (i bet its frustrating to HEAR about, haha imagine how frustrating it is to have those issues)

it just sounds like “well men have it hard too :("

like if you’re talking about male rape survivors and the injustices they face (like not being taken seriously cause "men cant be raped”) and someone comes along and says “well female rape survivors have it WAY worst” like i can see how thats a problem, BUT i have never seen a woman try to derail a discussion about men’s issues under patriarchy

however i have seen many men come out of the woodworks to make it about themselves

feminism is about women, it is about dismantling the patriarchy (which is the thing hurting men, remember, its not us) it is so WE can be equals to men, its not so men can be equal to women (ykno cause we’re hardly seen as human beings)

if i wanna make a post about how annoying it is to talk about feminism with dudes, then let me, dont make a peep, dont try to steer the conversation towards men

thank 8^)
