(110,159 posts)of sexist and misogynist attacks from male duers that claim being a feminist yet attack a group of us using demeaning and degrading sexual insults has colored me. maybe if i met a man that was merely there to support and not there to invalidate experience of women, i would be more on board.
it was not long ago i too felt men could carry the title. i do not feel that way anymore. and that is NOT suggesting that i do not value, appreciate and feel we NEED mens voice. i am totally consistent of not only saying rah to all men that support women, and thanking them, but have consistently said how important it is for men to speak out. that men listen to their peers way before they are going to listen to women. but, i feel that the womens movement need to have women as leaders and women defining who we are.
