It will be shared on mastodon! Hello @UN_NERV! Welcome to mastodon and the fediverse! Thanks for joining.
We hope to see more Japanese users on here :)
I agree. I scrolled through the comments (even responded to some) and this community is already heading towards where the feminist communities are heading: blaming the "other side" for everything.
It's not productive in any way and only serves to widen the gap between both communities.
I think this is a perfect portrayal of "you're either with us or you're against us". It is a binary view, a dichotomy, of a complex issue that invokes the need to choose sides and see others as the enemy.
Menimism is a group of humans focused on single issue: men's issues.
Feminism is a group of humans focused on a single issue: women's issues.
Why do you think the former will evolve in a different direction than the latter?
You call feminism cancer, radical feminists think men are the cause of all issues. Why do you think behaving like them and copying their rhetoric is good? Why is it wrong for them to think badly of all men, and you to think badly of an entire movement? Do you think that hatred for each other on both sides is the solution?
Friend, I think you're already falling into the "us vs them" mentality. We should be able to separate the loud, misandrist, "men are the problem, women are the solution", feminists from the "we're equal before the law, but I still perceive inequality and something should be done about it", passive feminists.
That is what is done to MRAs who were just saying "men have issues too, here are some" and being labeled as misogynist, radical, dangerous, and incel (which also shouldn't be an insult, much less one exclusive to men).
Each community has their loud, obnoxious members, but they shouldn't be representative of that community unless the community is mostly loud and obnoxious itself.
As such, I'd like to challenge your view that feminism is the problem and propose that it has much more to do with tradition and religion. Men and women alike face irreconcilable gender roles, prejudice, and traditional and societal obligations, that lead to their oppression:
men should work, women should clean
men and women should make children
men should not show emotions, women are too emotional
men should protect women, women are the damsels
a man should sleep with a woman, a woman should sleep with a man
The issue is much deeper than simple "women say men are the problem, which is the problem". Tribalism, identity-politics, and myopic, single-viewed, unidirectional thinking is toxic.
