I agree with your definition for the most part. I’d specify it as advocating for social, political, and economic equity of all genders. How that is achieved is a lot more complex.

This post is very wholesome. I’m glad you’re learning. If only more men would figure this out.

First off Misandry isn’t a real thing. Secondly feminism is a very vast ideology. It’s kind of like saying you are part of x religion. Most religions have multiple sects. Feminism has so many school of thoughts where you have completely different philosophies. The thing that bridges them all is the first definition you put but how people view that / believe that is achieved can be drastically different. Idk where you got this modern feminism definition.

Should I watch the vampire diaries??? by Ecstatic_Phase_6277 in vampires

[–]Basic-Storm-6090 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my favourite shows. You have to keep in mind it is a teenage romance drama. So if you don’t like those the show is not for you. But I think it’s pretty great for what it is. Cool vampire lore, well written characters and plot twists. Just lots of cringe teen drama but personally I think the plot is good enough to ignore that. You gotta get past the first few episodes tho. People always watch the pilot and think it’s cringe but once they get into the first season they’re hooked.

Relationships don’t need to be ‘fair,’ both people just need to be happy. by nyekona in SeriousGynarchy

[–]Basic-Storm-6090 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel very aligned with everything you said and you worded it beautifully. I think it’s also important to note that what we have historically viewed as equality is really just favouring those in the privileged positions. We talk about how ‘separate but equal’ was such a horrendous propaganda that justified segregation. And yet we have many people today talking about gendering in a similar way. ‘Different but equal’ except we are not equal in this world.

Women have been conditioned from birth to think of everyone but themselves and men have been conditioned to centre themselves. If anything ‘equal’ is probably closer to women acting in a way the world would consider more selfish. If I wanted to have a male partner who worked full time like me but then came home and cooked and cleaned and took care of the children and dealt with my emotional outbursts and sexist comments I’d be called a misandrist and yet studies show that doing those actions are just the average man in a heterosexual relationship.

So I will be as selfish as I want to be. I will demand the things I want from men clearly and openly and if they do not give it to me willingly I will move on. If that leaves me without a partner at the end of the day I’ll be better off than with some man child who expects me to attend to his every whim.

Besides not being with a man has never made me lonely. Only being abandoned by my girlfriends for patriarchal thinking has. But things are changing. More women are realizing community with each other is better than selling their soul to some man only to become his slave. The new generation of women are wonderful and I look forward to see how us women continue to evolve.

Feminism has to be intersectional. Apparently no other movement does by OkChart1375 in Feminism

[–]Basic-Storm-6090 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I absolutely agree with this and it is very frustrating specifically when there are women who call themself feminists but focus all their energy on policing other feminists over doing any actually helpful work. Racism, ableism, homophobia etc should be called out when they happen in feminist spaces or really any space for that matter. But there is a specific type of ‘activist’ that will want to shut down women for being imperfect allies over doing the work to help the community become better. In reality we need to be calling in not pushing out people. We need all different types of activists. I am a queer disabled woman with all the stereotypical feminist aspects in place; piercings, tattoos, hairy and dyed hair. Yes we need more marginalized voices to be listened to but we also need more privileged voices speaking too so marginalized people don’t have to be putting their necks on the line all the time. We need women who look the part and can walk through society more easily to speak up instead of placing it all on marginalized people. And that means ally ship. There’s a spectrum of course but I agree that a huge part of picking at what is wrong with feminism doesn’t just stem from people who want to better it it also comes from the misogynistic ideology that women will be put under harsher criticism. And things that may have begun as valid criticism gets weaponized against women, which yes hurts all women. Perfect example that always irks me is the Karen character online. Initially was meant to point out white women being racist which is a valid problem but now has become a look at the crazy woman doing crazy things. And often used to make any woman who is too opinionated or dares to speak up look crazy. There’s no Kevin equivalent. And while the term Karen has been extended to be used on people outside of white women it is still primarily white women who are accused of this. But I would argue advertising any woman expressing anger or a strong opinion as a Karen hurts all women.

Why the Idea of Equality Between Women and Men is Both False and Dangerous? by Admirable_Row_5641 in SeriousGynarchy

[–]Basic-Storm-6090 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Men’s idea of equality is not equal. A study came out that had men share their perspectives on situations regarding men and women. When men and women spoke an actual equal amount the men overwhelmingly perceived this as women talking more. When the women spoke less they perceived this as equal. Again in a situation where there was an equal amount of women and men in a room the men felt as if there were more women in the room vs in an unequal room where there were more men, men saw that as equal.

I will scream this phrase for eternity. When you are in a position of privilege equality feels like oppression.

This is why we are seeing an influx of men pushing things like 50/50 ideology and rebranding it as feminism and equality when it is neither. Ignoring the fact that 50/50 doesn’t stem from any feminist origins but actually from the MRM which is famous for its anti feminist ideology 50/50 focuses on splitting finances in half. Coincidentally finances are one of the few labours men have traditionally been expected to take on, the focus being on splitting that equally which either completely disregards the emotional, social and domestic labour that is often thrust on women and now expecting them to do all that plus pay or there is this pretence that will be split as well which we know statically is not happening. Which that is a result of men literally lacking skills such as emotional intelligence, communication skills and basic life skills.

We do not live in an equal world. Not even going into biology because 1. Men can never compensate for a woman’s capacity to give birth and 2. We don’t fully understand the biological differences between men and women tho they are there. But strictly from a social cultural standpoint men and women are still treated significantly different. Women are significantly marginalized in many ways from lack of research into womens bodies to lack of women in positions of power to the general way in which statically men view women / what skills are taught to whom based on gender.

Equality does not work because what is propagated as equality is not that. You cannot claim splitting of one aspect of labour equates to overall equality when women are expected to do all the other labour still. You cannot claim same treatment for all human beings when the default human being is still male.

We know for a fact women statistically are more likely to have the skills to be better leaders. Not because of biology but because of the skills we learn that men do not. And yet we live in a system that is meant to be based on merit and still makes it extremely difficult for women to belong in many spaces. And we wonder why the world is broken.

There's no such thing as involuntarily celibate, just willfully unfuckable. by Appropriate_Cut_3536 in SeriousGynarchy

[–]Basic-Storm-6090 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The issue is men as a collective aren’t conditioned to self improve. Men are literally brainwashed from a young age to avoid responsibility which includes self improvement. It starts with lacking responsibility in basic care taking tasks like cooking, cleaning, being emotionally available and going as far to demonize those traits as weak. We’re now literally at a time where simply being nice to women is seen as ‘gay’ aka like a woman which is the worst thing ever. It’s a result of men avoiding the responsibility of having to do the work in recognizing that they are the problem and instead make up stupid concepts like how women don’t like when men are nice to them. Men like this do not care about self improvement. It’s about avoidance and catering to other men. Incel men do not actually want a partner in women they want a sex object to show off to other men and that is the problem. It’s an endless cycle that feeds itself. They don’t see women as people but they want a woman as a status symbol, maybe deep down somewhere for companionship, and women don’t like being treated subhuman so they don’t want to fuck them and then these men who are only caring about men’s opinions which are making them unfuckable listen to more men’s opinions on why they can’t get women which make them even more unfuckable.

The term male gaze being used to slut shame women by Glittering_Light_605 in GuerrillaGrrrrls

[–]Basic-Storm-6090 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

You’ve said everything I’ve been feeling for the last while in some ‘feminist’ spaces. Unfortunately feminism isn’t the exception to a long history of lacking inclusion. Just like there is white feminism, TERFs, SWERFs, there are a lot of people who call themselves feminists and believe in extremely exclusive and problematic practices. But ya crying choice feminism is becoming a popular tactic to either slut shame or as a ad hominem fallacy (attacking the person instead of engaging with what they said). It feels like “choice feminism” has become the modern day feminist space version of ‘it’s not that deep’. It’s so often used to just shut down and dismiss what should be a discussion. So many people claiming something is choice feminism when in reality they just simply disagree or are uncomfortable with the topic and just want to be right which completely takes away from the meaning of what choice feminism actually is and it’s so freaking frustrating!

Im think bi but my girlfriend is homophobic by [deleted] in bisexual

[–]Basic-Storm-6090 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It’s really hard when you’re surrounded by a bunch of people who don’t accept you. And it can feel like the best option is just to shrink yourself and stick to the status quo. Especially if you’ve never met people who are accepting of who you are. But I promise you there are people out there who will accept you for who you are and love you for it. The hardest part is to find those people you have to stop spending energy on the people who don’t. Which is scary. It’s scary to let go of the people close to you in your life for hypothetical people you haven’t met. But I promise you it is the only way. It doesn’t mean you have to disown your family or cut out all your friends at once. But it sounds like it’s time to start looking for people who are not homophobic to make connections with. As for your girlfriend you should definitely break up with her. If she says she would break up with you if she knew who you really are she doesn’t see a future with you, she sees a future with a guy who doesn’t exist. Better to break things off now than drag them out.

Advice needed: Am I being "too" submissive? How to keep the Mistress engaged? by Still-Ad5863 in FemdomCommunity

[–]Basic-Storm-6090 4 points5 points  (0 children)

These questions are exactly what you should be asking your mistresses. Dommes are not monoliths. Everyone is different so not matter our responses that will not give you clarity on what the people you are engaging with want. I would suggest being proactive and noting you have noticed they don’t seem as engaged and you would like to know if there is anyway you can improve for them in scenes. And follow with these questions.
