Emma Watson: Feminism can never succeed unless men are part of the conversation

134. Why does every one think think this issue was created in a vacuum?

I like relavent history and how it effects the present. The term "manspaining" which has its place and time will go away, if men stop trying to explan the experience of being a woman. Many men are very good at this, they can sympathize, even educate from a meaningful point of view, without condescending, or try to be equivalent as far as experience. Your example is a red herring.


In the meantime, it's good to remember that most men were/are unaware of women's dissatisfaction. And once it hit the blogosphere, feminists found each other, feminism clearly not only wasn't conveniently "dead" but had a thriving and diverse community, that discusses, argues, agrees, disagrees, but works for change. Real change. Radical change. Positive change, painful change.

Men who where clueless absolutely did try to explain, deflect, minimalize, or outright dismiss real and very relavent issues. It's happened and continues to happen here, it's happened and continues to happen everywhere,


But it's far to late to stop--the next twenty years should be very interesting
