True equality? Impossible. But fairness? Fairness is already within our grasp... we just choose to squander the opportunities.
TheCorgiTeaTime
On the internet, it's a lot of anti-feminists who are throwing around terms like "sissy" and "fag". Not so much the feminists.

This is literally describing feminism.

I think you mean to say egalitarianism

Being that this is from a feminist comic, I really doubt it.

Feminism is one subset of egalitarianism that focusses on gender issues. Because egalitarianism is very broad. I get it, big words are hard.

The first step is to recognize that we perpetrate damaging gender expectations. The second is to consciously stop perpetrating them.

Negative normative gender roles such as these are considered by many feminists as another aspect of the patriarchy that makes it shit for1/2
melodramaticbat
Cue people who completely miss the point down voting me because I used the word 'patriarchy'.

2/2 everyone, men and women, which is why everyone should be a feminist from this angle.

I mean is there anything that you actively disagree with or do you just like to regurgitate MRA memes like an illiterate moron?

Mra? I still dont understand why thats an insult... pua i can see... but really patriarchy theory is ridiculous.

MRA isn't an insult per se, I was more pointing out how the comment was idiotic and clearly contributed nothing of any worth aside from (1)

Once again, this is the comic that had elements for both men and women in it, with only the male elements kept in. Equality indeed...

How? I've seen the original, I thought it was reasonable on both sides. Either way, no reason to make it exclusively male.
MostOfImgurGenerallyPissesMeOff
I feel as if the female part of feminism has been cycled through the internet countless times and is a given.
minabear
Seriously. "Let's talk about equality and feminism but cut the female part out"
iLiketoTravel
Always. The only way I can talk to men about it is if I tell them what's in it for them. Makes me so mad/sad
SecretlyDaredevil
It is ridiculous how some people are.
ItsyaboyGunny
You have to remember that women-don't tell me this is a stereotype because it's true- are more sensitive than men.
NorfolkBoy
Which one needed posting more? Which group do you need to convince of the message? But more importantly, which one will get more upvotes?
csrevolt
"Because talking about one group's issues doesn't mean that we're belittling another group's"
SecretlyDaredevil
It becomes belittling when it is literally removed from the source of the post, and when it's obvious that the original would never be FP.
csrevolt
I just realized you were saying part of the comic was cut. This is my first time seeing it and I didn't put that together. Sorry for that!
Nousernameavailae
There are words like bitch... Used to talk about women no equivalents that refer to men with a negative connotation. Girls are judged 1/2
SamMan
Well they are but most of them have feminine overtones. As apparently female things are bad.
Bricmpt
"Dick".
theeconomistnonotthatone
Um, "bastard" is generally the equivalent. And before you mention that it's now often used for men as well, I would like to point as a man1/
theeconomistnonotthatone
"often used for women as well" FTFM 1.5/
theeconomistnonotthatone
that I have most certainly also heard "bitch" used on guys more recently. I think a more productive point is sex-negative words for women 2/
Syng420
Calling a guy a bitch is implying he's acting feminine and therefore he's bad.
Nousernameavailae
As not being feminine enough, as not having enough makeup on, as having small boobs, big ass, saggy boobs. Girls are stared on constantly
Nousernameavailae
showing a little cleavage. Girls are expected to be 'good' moms and take care of children, and thus cut back on work.... I'm not saying
Nousernameavailae
That the problem in the comic isn't real. It is! And it's terrible! But the main reason it happens is, bc being feminine has a negative
Nousernameavailae
connotation. Because we still have expectations what a gender should be like! Why?! Because we think it's okay to use words such as "bitch"
Nousernameavailae
in a leisure, fun way! We need to stop that!
missing409
I didn't see the part of the post that said girls weren't treated badly. Unless your also just stating facts. In that case, yep all true.
Nousernameavailae
Yeah, just stating facts. I just wanted to make clear, that the main problem is, that we stereotype genders...
missing409
Well we have equality in how shitty we treat people :D

Sad but true :D

A lot of misunderstanding of the term feminist in the comments here. If you're not a feminist then you're a dick. All it means is [1/#]
Xsiah
Feminism is a movement which you can choose not to associate with even if you believe in many of the same things as feminists do.
Xsiah
The same way that not being Christian doesn't mean that you don't have a source of morality.
eyaka
[2/#] you believe in equality between the sexes. The fact that it sounds like it favours women is an unfortunate symptom of the fact [2/#]
eyaka
[3/#] that women have been discriminated and marginalised by society for millennia. To get overly upset by the term however shows just [3/#]
eyaka
[4/#] how petty people can be. For a man to feel the term "feminist" is in itself discriminatory is absurd. You are a feminist, deal with it
ssjalhazred
I'll stick with egalitarian, thanks.
NorfolkBoy
Unfortunately, Feminism it self is the one that preached how labels were so important, and people right to design and use their own labels.
NorfolkBoy
& yes, for that definition of a feminist, I am hells yes a feminist. If I describe myself as a feminist, that's not what people hear though.
Syng420
People should call themselves whatever they want. The important part is how they treat others, not the label they choose.
TacticusThrowaway
Feminism overwhelmingly tries to help women, and does almost nothing to help men. It's not just about the name.
eyaka
What?! First of all, feminism doesn't "try" anything, it is a belief not an organisation or entity. Secondly, true egalitarians would [1\2]
eyaka
[2\2] do more for women than men at the moment because women are suffering vastly more from inequality than men. How can you not see that?!
TacticusThrowaway
Feminism is a political movement, not just a belief system. Are you telling me that "manspreading" is more important than the lack of +
TacticusThrowaway
support for male rape/abuse victims? Which many feminists have contributed to while trying to help men?
GuckFoogle
Fuck you I'm an egalitarian not a feminist. Feminism has been twisted by batshit insane radicals, the cause is broken and devoid of sanity.
TacticusThrowaway
Things like your first sentence are a major part of why people don't like feminism.
eyaka
I assume ytgou mean my second sentence and I stand by it. Feminism == egalitarianism. Don't let those "batshit crazy" types sully the word.
TacticusThrowaway
I'm not letting them do anything. I'm one of the people trying to get you lot to stop them.

Idk abt op, but while I don't call myself a feminist (bc extremists), I agree with most & I don't mind those who do call themselves such.

AzgarOgly
Men are men. Women are women. Eliminating the distinction is destructive and dangerous.
AlkeneThiol
Kind of like: Whites are whites. Blacks are blacks. ;-)
AzgarOgly
You can pretend they are not, but they are indeed. What matters is what consequences We make of this difference.
AzgarOgly
And alike "gender euqality", it is very bad grinding everyone equally round and gray. We have differences and should appreciate them.
AzgarOgly
Race thing is a Holy Cow of US society, as a european I have a bit different view, not hazed by generations of racial equality propaganda :)

If anyone doesn't catch it, I am using an ironic simile. Don't think I am agreeing with the person and also racist. Kthx

Toxic masculinity and misogyny are two sides of the same coin, nailed it @OP.

Oh, I like that. I mean, I don't like that it's true, but I like that phrase.

so is misandry though. if we're gonna be equal... then lets be equal.

Misandry is not part of those structures. It occupies its own separate part of the social sphere.

Toxic masculinity and misogyny are both the fault of ALL of society. Men and women are both to blame

minabear
I think I'm that case, it's not fair. But the idea is to make men more comfortable with stepping away from those gender "restrictions".

asquiiiiiiisha
It's still toxic masculinity, because it's based on societal values of what masculinity should be. Women aren't immune to the message.

So... You ARE a feminist, "notafeminist"?
notafeminist
The name "notafeminist" was a joke in high school. It's completely ironic, because I do see myself as a feminist.

People can believe in equality without being a feminist. Just like people who aren't Christian can believe in grace and mercy.

WillZMacht
The words "equalitarian" and "egalitarian" were around before "feminist". I also do not believe in "the patriarchy". Not a Feminist, either.
wyatt8740
A true feminist has a different definition from the common feminist. So it's not the word I'd use anymore.
idownvoteplottwist
You know feminism exists outside of the modern day tumblr variety, right.
pedrobrv
Tell that to my college's feminists, it's like tumblr on steroids
parkanov
you might do gender equality a service by kicking over their laptops, just saying
MostOfImgurGenerallyPissesMeOff
I think their name is highly relevant and necessary, Feminism is a lost cause. Egalitarianism I believe is what would define this post.
MostOfImgurGenerallyPissesMeOff
Even if this was created by a feminist, that person is an individual and I wouldn't use one person to describe them all.
mordaedil
A few people being dumb on the Internet does not equal a "lost cause".
MostOfImgurGenerallyPissesMeOff
yeah that's true, but some people blindly become a feminist with the idea that the name of the movement is targeted towards women's rights
FindYourChillMate
No feminist implies favour towards women. How about just equality?
mordaedil
Feministic qualities are represented in men as much as women. Masculinity is in women as well as men. Masculinity doesn't need help.
AssHatAristocrat
THIS is why people like you should come with a warning label. Feminism means equality for women and men. So yes, you're a feminist.
VikingLlama
Dont put labels on people, thats not nice
pintDMG
"people like you should come with a warning label" Kindly fuck off, will ya. And fuck your "YOU WANT EQUALITY? MUST BE A FEMINIST!" bullshit
X3NOMORPH
Why not just calling it equality then?
FindYourChillMate
Feminine= Women ism=practice, system, or philosophy Shut the fuck up. Warning lable? What the fuck do you know about me to say that?
AssHatAristocrat
I know that you don't know what feminism is. That's a start.
FindYourChillMate
I do know exactly what feminism is. Its the fight to get women equal rights. Guess what. Women hjave equal rights.
NorfolkBoy
The word is so ill defined. I think it's meaningless, if you mean do you believe what Feminists preacher 50 years ago, everyone is feminist.
mordaedil
Everyone *could* be feminist. But because people have preconceived notions of what it means, it will probably never happen.
NorfolkBoy
So, once again, the word is so illdefinied I can read into your statement almost anything I like and I still don't know what you mean.
mordaedil
A fault of language I'm afraid. Feminity is found in men and women alike. Its opposite is masculinity, also found in women and men alike.
NorfolkBoy
Feminism is worse by far than that, does Feminism mean simply being for Equality before the law? Does it mean being for Equity in results?
