To sum up: mainstream feminism has become an ugly thing I just can not relate to anymore.

I’m tired of women walking away from saying/doing bad things men would be torn apart for. And this isn’t a “what about the men” tangent. It’s an “equality should mean just that.”

But somewhere along the line feminism lost sight of its goal of being about equality. I still identify as a feminist, but one who believes in true equality, feels that mainstream feminism has let POC and poor women down badly, that it constantly encourages bullying over “wrong opinions”, and has serious issues with bigotry in general that it refuses to address. It’s 2023. Feminism should be better than this.
