That’s how stereotypes and discrimination start. There is more than meets the eye under any banner. Yea, this is nice and all but… men can’t be feminists. Also some feminists are angry, man hating, and hairy? And that’s totally cool? I’m an angry misandrists feminist with hairy legs and doesn’t like wearing a bra? I REFUSE REFUSE TO START AN ARGUMENT. But how come men cant be Feminists if all Feminism is about is wanting equality? Equality is impossible without first dismantling the patriarchal power systems that have kept the oppressed marginalized and disenfranchised. Cis men do not need equality when they are already standing 10-20 steps higher than the rest of us on the heirarchal social ladder. B..But its not… Asking for their equality. They’re being feminists to ask for womens equality? They can ask for women’s equality without calling themselves feminists. It’s called “being a decent fucking human being”. Can I just say, feminism is NOT about equality, it is about LIBERATION. I’m really sick and tired of men using that against feminists. The movement is not about you, it is about liberating women from patriarchal bullshit. Thanks. Yes, this.^^ Absolutely. Sorry, feminist-roses. I should have been more clear about that. Equality would imply seeking to work within the system, yes? Feminism is (or should be?) about breaking the faulty system altogether. you guys are being incredibly stupid. Feminism is about equality and wanting eveveryone to liveva life where no one group is , like previously stated, 10-20 steps ahead. Men can be femenists because, shocker, men have problems too. I know weird that guys are human beings with issues and fears and stuff.. anywho, they have problems and issues. A majority of which are to blame from a patriarchal society which keeps them from being a natural human being without ridicule. And cis men, once again shocking, can be I dont know gay? Could you imagine havingbthe word uou identify with being used as an insult? I bet you can because weve all heard “stop being such a girl” . They wsnt equality and thry want to be who they are without ridicule from the patriarch. Straight guys as well can be femenists. They want to support their friend with they’re problems and maybe fix the world up a bit. This whole rant must be devastating to all your world views, but cis men can be good guys. I know! Shocked me to. Now stop writing dumbass comments on a fucking wonderful comic

Feminism IS about equality and liberation (since liberation only come with equality btw) and men can be feminists.

Men get told that they have to be strong, they can’t cry, cooking is a woman’s job they can’t do it, only gay men can do hair and design clothes, men should get a job they can’t be stay-at-home dads even if they want to, men cant be raped by women, men have to pay the bills, for dinner etc.

for every issue women face there is an equal and opposite issue for men

Some women want careers— some men want to be stay at home dads

Same women want traditionally male jobs— some men want traditionally female jobs

Feminism will make things better for both genders, that’s why guys can be feminists, they are fighting for liberation from themselves as well as our freedom
