1. There must be a widespread understanding that feminism does apply to men. Therefore, men who stand up for feminist issues may, and should, be identified as feminist. It is counterproductive and hypocritical to discuss gender equality while simultaneously creating a double standard towards males who share feminist values.

this sounds like it was written by a man (and a stupid one at that) tbqh
oh hey I was right. from the source: I wrote this as a high school sophomore. While I stand by many of these points, I do think that many of them could have been expressed in a much better fashion. Furthermore, I should have been more upfront about my white, male, and wealth privileges. That being stated, take a gander at the article; it’s still thought provoking, even today. [emphasis mine]
<3
Also, “it’s still thought provoking,” is it really though? There is literally not one original thought in it sry2say. Teenagers.
lol
also sounds like someone who thinks aging from 17 to 20 is a HUGE leap
“6. As feminists, we cannot allow sexism or objectification to happen to males, like it has to females. As embarrassing as Rush Limbaugh, Micheal Savage, or Bill O’Reilly and their visions of oppressed, white, straight, Christian males are, we must remember that white, straight, Christian, males need to be treated with the equality they deserve.”
“11. In cases of rape, victim blaming is always unacceptable. However, over time, there multiple cases have occurred in which the “victim” has lied about being raped for personal gain. While these attacks are very, very infrequent, feminism must not be blind to their existence.”
how is this getting reblogged seriously HOW ugh tumblr/world your desperate fawning over any dude who can use the word feminist to his advantage is embarassing and disgusting and depressingand to the author of that, i can and will tell you that you are not a feminist. but don’t worry, you being a dude is only part of it. oh no sexism!!!
I called this person out days ago. lol
