    you know what else is pointlessly gendered? the patriarchy

    feminist messaging has to be gendered because the patriarchy is a gender issue.

    that said, feminism is for everybody. liberating women from oppressive structures by nature does the same for men.

      If it’s not gendered and is for everybody, that isn’t that just the original statement? That safety is for everybody? That seems rather circular.

      But I think I get what you’re saying. We focus on lifting up women, and everyone benefits.

          Hey no worries. More people should act in good faith in my opinion. We don’t even have to agree with everyone but we should have mutual respect for each other and want a better world.
