STFU Sexists: Your place for tearing down gender roles, misogyny, misandry, and oppression.
And also, occasionally, your place for the lulz.
Reblogged from face-down-asgard-up
Can you see the difference between the two?
I can.
Accurate!
Misandry doesn’t exist. There are women who hate men, yeah. But “misandry” isn’t a threat to men. It doesn’t have the power and the privilege behind it to be harmful. I’m not saying hating all men is great. It’s not. But, I can honestly see how some women get there. Shit, I have had days where I read about the bullshit women have to go through at the hands of men and at the hands of a society that favors men and I think, “Ugh, I hate men!” How did Henry Rollins put it? If i was a woman these days, I’d be killing motherfuckers. my handgun would never cool and my hands would be covered in testicular blood. I would have a horrible reputation with a lot of men because I would be calling them on their weak bullshit left and right.
I don’t encourage what this graphic calls misandry, but I do understand it. I do see how living in a society that has designated you as lesser for centuries can lead you to hate that society and the ones who hold power in that society.
I just…why do we even have to make this clarification? Instead of dismissing it we should be looking at what causes it. Where does it manifest? I think if we did that we would be lead right back to sexism and patriarchy.
Flawless commentary as always from one of my favorite bloggers.
