(28,784 posts)as I said - inequality is still a huge part of society that impacts women far more than men. that was my initial statement and the closing comment regarding economic issues related to males and females. however, men also have a stake in feminism because it includes liberation for them from gender stereotypes as well - many men are decent and do not want to participate in a system that allows them privilege because of an accident of birth.
for this same reason, you have trust fund babies or wealthy people who advocate for higher taxes on wealth - not because the benefit accrues to them, but because it is a more equitable system that does not punish someone because of an accident of birth or b/c of health issues that create poverty, or because one group does most of the hard work, etc.
I don't see that anything I wrote is a focus on men's rights - it was an observation about gender roles from the other perspective. Do you really think that the mere mention of this somehow harms feminism or requires a argument about what feminism is?
I don't.
