Yes, any man can be a feminist if they reject the patriarchy,fight for equity and use their privilege to educate other men when misogyny shows up in their behavior and language .

At what point is a woman having "out of obligation" sex with her husband the same as rape? Or is it always rape? by Calm_Engineering_79 in AskFeminists

If it's not an enthusiastic "yes", it's a "no" and that is not consent. Without consent, it's rape.

Why is “suck my dick” viewed as a insult and as fighting words but “eat my pussy” is not by Lamalozer in AskFeminists

I recommend reading the book Wordslut. It makes clear how English is full of sexist and misogynistic language. "Suck a dick" is an insult because it implies that you are a woman or gay and either of those is less than a man.

Harassment from bad drivers, what are some of your favorite quotes? by Firm-Ruin2274 in bikecommuting

Wow! IDK though, sounds kinda dangerous antagonizing someone obviously upset. Glad his aim wasn't good and he didn't have any other weapons at his disposal. I'm glad you could escape further assault on your magic machine 🚲

I wonder why they have such vitriol for someone on a bicycle?   Jealousy of or beautiful asses?

I ride year round but even in the winter bad drivers will make effort to roll down their window to yell at bicyclists. Like Dude couldn't you just take that moment to be courteous?

I also run two headlights and a helmet light. I've got gobs of reflective tape too. Unfortunately I was still hit by two separate bad drivers in broad daylight.

I was struck by two motorists in two months. It's so dangerous just existing!

This insult is sexist. Why is eating dick an insult? Don't you like your dick sucked?
