5 Ways That Being Against Sexism Doesn’t Mean You Hate Men
Myth #1: Calling Out Sexism Means You’re a Buzzkill
Myth #2: Being Angry About Sexism Means You Want to ‘Even the Score’ and Exact Revenge on Men
Funny how generalizations are only considered prejudice if they’re targeted at the majority.
Myth #3: Acknowledging Sexism Widens Gender Disparity
In their minds, only by ignoring gender can we achieve a truly egalitarian society.
Myth #4: Focusing on Sexism Ignores Men’s Issues
Myth #5: Taking Offense to Sexism Ignores the Rights Women Have Already Been Granted within Patriarchy
Women may manage to survive in a patriarchy, but it sure as hell doesn’t mean they’re thriving.
Your misogyny does not get a free pass just because you’re also a woman.

Content: the belief and sense of entitlement that everything should be about men first and foremost, all the time! Am I saying that men can’t be feminists or be against sexism? Of course not! Male allies are crucial and much appreciated. Most men (and people in general) know that women-oriented spaces and discussions of sexism aren’t part of some secret coup to create a matriarchy. The same should be true for any majority with an actual understanding of any marginalized movement. Stop demanding that minorities have to kowtow to your ego and adhere to your agenda before they can be deserving of basic human rights. That’s usually the reason why movements start in the first place! Also, can we please direct our energy towards proactive things like helping male victims and stop whining about trivial shit? Yes, all hate for hate’s sake is bad, but anti-male sentiments haven’t been reinforced by institutions to subjugate 50% of the population for centuries.
