I use to believe/think that men could be feminists

57. i do not agree. and i am sorry that this is your perception. what i have found is in order to

get male support we needed to give them the title. in the last couple decades as they have held up the "title" they have failed in the support. i am not talking about womens rights. i am talking about social equity. and i think in them holding up the title it has allowed them to help create the problems we face today, which is more sexism and misogyny than what we experienced a couple decades ago.

that men feel an entitlement to the title without experiencing what we do is a big misstep.

you can call yourself whatever you want. i will not roll my eyes, or challenge you. it is yours to do with as you like.

but, once again, on du the question came up, by a man, calling out a woman that dared roll her eyes at him. and women have expressed what we feel and think. and the same men has dismissed what is being said, cause of their demand to hold the title.

i do not have a lot of interest with the man that would let a title effect his support of womens rights.

that simple.

take it or leave it.

i expressed to you my challenges with this, my lessons learned over the years on our progressive board of men that claim to be feminists and then tell us what we think are wrong and attack our sexuality to shame, humiliate, degrade and demean and shut us up.
