People just can’t get enough of this stuff, can they?
I don’t know what happened to feminism over the years for the tumblr kind to become the public face for the organization. Has the bulk of the members of feminism always been like this? Even some of the feminist thinkers accept that the system is sexist towards men, so why does tumblr treat saying the word “men” and “oppression” in the same sentence to be some sort of a blood curse?
All I know is, these people are creating the MRA’s they hate so much. For example, when you have men who like MLP and get shit for it, most try feminism for support, but then find out the tumblr kind and immediately abandon ship because of it. It’s so bizarre to know that these “feminists” are creating such a strong backlash that MRA’s only need to point out tumblr for recruiting material.
Considering that, at least, in the west, 40% of all reported rape victims are men and 80% of these perpetrators were reported as women, you can not make the argument that only women are victims or that the majority of rapists of men are men themselves. Also considering that even if this 80% statistic is higher than it should be, feminists should be the first people in the world to understand the issue with majority rule and how these public opinions can turn out to be oppressive when they are one sided and never consider the alternative scenarios.
If that wasn’t bad enough, these feminists then turn around and say it to be a “privilege” that men aren’t raped, when it is exactly this line of thinking that prevents people from reporting, which by the way, is one of the major pivotal tenets of ‘rape culture’. To know that feminists are the one’s perpetuating ‘rape culture’ is something that I lose sleep over.
Life used to make sense and feminists used to be the good guys of society or maybe I was just imagining things from the start. Vampires and were-wolfs are for women, ponies are for men, never thinking how you look is feminine, dieting is manly, oppressors are women, men are victims, women are virgin shamed and men slut shamed.
I don’t even know anymore.
