To be honest, I’ve never seen an anti-feminist female who disregards what first and second generation feminists gave her. Instead, they disagree with some of the philosophies and hypocrisy third wave feminism has given us. (At the same time keep in mind not everyone who fought for women’s rights in the past was a feminist.)

We abhor that they have denied rights to abuse victims and bastardized them when they try to make safe spaces for male victims and let child molesters freely roam (because they’re female and hide under the guise of “feminist” *cough* Lena Dunham *cough*). We also abhor that you think really menial stupid things should be included in your movement like “man spreading” (because clearly you have balls and have never taken up spaces with your purses or bags even accidentally), or protecting people who are confirmed liars and not credible sources of information who only get money because they call themselves “feminists” *cough* Anita Sarkeesian *cough*.

You claim you are not entitled to explain to women why they should be a feminist because it should be “self explanatory”, if this sounds like you you’re not being a good activist. Yet when you do give the time of day you only explain what you THINK it means. And at the same time as you are shown opposing evidence you refuse to believe your movement has high levels of toxicity within it. Not only that, but you refuse to fix it.

You support people in your movement who hate men. You support people who are anti-trans woman. You support people who have “misandry” written in their blog name or “fuck trans guys” in their posts and “strippers are fuckin dumb”. Yet you SAY you stand for equality. But you don’t shut them down or let them know “that’s not what I want feminism to be”?

And at the same time any woman who leaves your movement isn’t a real woman. (Because clearly women cannot think for themselves.) You make us out to be pariahs with “internalized misogyny” (because we disagree with you) while ignoring the diversity of the women leaving. Women who have been raped or victims of sexual assault have left. women who are non-white have left. women who are LGBT have left. women who are desperately impoverished have left. women who have experienced cruelty/ domestic violence at the hands of men have left.

Before you say it: No, we haven’t left in an effort to stop fighting for women. A lot of us ARE women. We left because we want true equality.

Hating men does nothing to help women.

Hating trans people and not including them d oes nothing to help women.

Denying female abusers/rapsits/ molesters exist and are a problem does nothing to help women

Denying that females sometimes get a benefit in this society (custody rights over 90% of the time, ability to claim child support on a child made when the woman raped the man, not having to sign away their body to the government for draft due to how they were born, lesser jail time for the same crime, not having it a common practice to cut off half of the skin on their genitals at birth) does nothing to help women.

(and probably makes them less likely to rejoin you!)

(and probably makes them less likely to rejoin you!) Not taking the word of a woman who is of said culture who says something is not sexist and saying “well I think it’s sexist therefore it is” does nothing to help women.

think it’s sexist therefore it is” Only applying western feminism as the solution does nothing to help women

Saying “this is why I need feminism” yet not being able to explain how feminism helps the problem does nothing to help women

Publishing false statistics on rape/ sexist bait material does nothing to help women .

. Not teaching women self defense and saying “we should teach men not to rape” (because that totally worked with stealing is wrong, and totally not treating an entire gender like subhuman creatures who are born to rape) does nothing to help women.

Not supporting sex workers, strippers and the porn industry (because some women like that they do, yes really) and promoting safety in it does nothing to help women.

Not to mention you recite to us in a biblical way “what feminism is in the dictionary” and yet say “it’s only radfems that believe those extreme things”. Yet you deny your micro-agressions in your blogging (ex: boys are disgusting) or your assumptions you now make on someone because of their gender (ie: guy looks a little ugly and creepy and different so I’m going to judge him on his appearance and not his actions and think he’s potentially an attacker). Think about it.

You want it to be equality and get mad when somebody thinks it’s not. It’s YOUR movement. If you want to keep people in it and not making assumptions on how detrimental some of the politics has been for other groups, YOU need to fix it!

Just the same as you do not need to support PETA for animal rights or FKH8 for gay rights, you do not need to be a feminist to support women’s rights.
