tumblr feminism

ok ya'll listen up. everyone's views of feminism are different, and i can accept that. but lately i've been seeing a lot of so called 'feminists' who are only for women's rights??? 

"we don't hate men. we hate patriarchy and gender roles!"

ok then why am i still seeing posts everywhere like "boys suck!" & "kill all men" & "if he shows interest in you first, it's rape because he's sexualizing you!"

"we're fighting for men too!"

but i still see "men can't be raped! he had a boner, so that means he consented! guys always want sex!" or "men are violent and they're abusers. they're the ones hurting people so why should we care about the .000000000000000001% of them that are abused? it's by other men, of course!" or "men being raped? no way! men ARE rapists, and if you say otherwise, you want to rape everyone with a vagina!"

like honestly wtf men can be raped too. it's not always girls & women.

"we're fighting for equality for everyone!"

really? then why do i see things like "girls in school are oppressed by the patriarchy, so let's help them. but if boys struggle, it's their own fault because they're inferior/just not trying!"

"we're destroying gender roles, but guys better still be willing to white knight for us!" "it's a man's job to protect us, but if he does we can still rag on him because we're strong and didn't need his damn help!" "a guy teacher? damn he must be a pedo rapist, so we better push him out of his job."

but somehow when a 40 something year old female teacher rapes any of her male students (kind of like something that happened recently), people go "oh he must have raped her! he consented! guys always want sex!"

the funniest thing is when girls say "oh, it's just a flap of skin. but if I want an abortion, it's my body, my choice! i'm STILL going to say that guys have a right to bodily autonomy while women have all these laws placed against them!"

"oh, the draft? it hasn't been used in 30+ years! let's compare a healthcare draft (including both sexes) of people that will work in hospitals to the people carting machine guns through mud and desert, being lucky if they come home with just PTSD, IF they come home at all, and still claim that it oppresses women! of course let's ignore the fact that not signing up for it costs you the ability to have a state issued ID (no bank account, no drivers license, no rental OR mortgaged home of your own, and in some places, even maybe no right to vote), no chance for financial aide for school, no chance for government jobs! let's tell them that they're being big crybabies while we don't try to include women in the draft or abolish it altogether!"

men are painted to have perfect lives while women supposedly live their lives in a dystopia that would make Panem look like heaven. there's no acknowledgement of individuality or that every guy's life isn't as perfect as they paint it until they're pressed about it, and it's still "women have it worse!"

god forbid you bring any of this up or dare question their motives before they lash out at you and try to back up their weak ass arguments. listen bitch if you so pressed pls drink bleach. literally the entire point of feminism is equality for ALL. 

now i'm not saying that men are as underprivileged as women. i'm not, because that's a blatant lie. what i am saying is that if you're a feminist, you have to be an advocate for all. not just women.
