“I’m not like the other feminists.” ( kbin.social )

This pisses me off. Sexism hurts everyone. Men, women, children, everybody. Femnism shouldn’t be about punishing men, just like mens right shouldn’t be about hurting women. We’re all poeple, and we’re all in this together.

You run into a very serious contradiction in that value

What if fixing something that hurts men, hurts women?

It sounds flippant, but it's legitimately a problem men have to deal with.

As a recent example, in florida they are finally "ending" permanent alimony, and men now have their "right to retire" considered when adjusting payments.

Many, many, women depend in part or entirely on a man suffering and working on their behalf. If i want to help those men, to the perception of those women, i am harming them.

Even trying to equalize draft legislation in the states is technically "harming women"

So, given just those examples, i'm all for "harming" women, based on how they've defined it.
