Okay so I was just talking to my uncle and he said that the term feminist is sexist because it’s just for women an even though he thinks that all genders are equal he would never call himself a feminist because he isn’t a woman.

Then I told him that it is no suprise that a movement for the equality of the genders is called feminism because women have been the oppressed gender for thousand of years. He then tried to explain to me that women have not been oppressed and I just completly lost it.

Now I am upstairs in my roommates crying because i just can’t believe that someone can think like this. It’s like he says that he wants equality but not when it are women how try to make it happen.

I tried to explain to him that men can be feminists as well and that it has nothing to do with what gender you identify as but he said that there are probably just a few men who are feminists.

I’m just so sick of people acting like they want equality but stoping at points like this.

The I only reason I can see why someone does not want to call themself a feminist in a Situation like this because they do not actually believe in equality but are a sexist.

And the worst is that no one tried to help me explain it to him. My own mother cut me off while I was talking to defend him. And my dad just came up because he wanted me to come downstairs again but I said no. Now he is angry at me because he thinks it’s my fault. I am sorry but I just don’t want to have anything to do with people Who are like my uncle and by the way thank you for respecting my feelings and respecting when I say no.

Okay my dad isn’t so bad After all he just brought me dinner upstairs but it sounded like my mim didn’t want him to (not suprised about that). And now there are small children in our House Who I’ve never Seen before and it Sounds like they are touching my guinea Pigs and I don’t want them touching my Guinea Pigs.
