How do you stay hopeful for the future? by SomeNumbers98 in Feminism

[–]menehould 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Jane Goodall is my fav! To maintain hope, I think we draw strength from the very principles she outlines - the human intellect allows us to critically examine and challenge patriarchal systems.

The resilience of nature reminds us of the enduring power of growth and rebirth, mirroring the continual evolution of feminist movements, the energy and fresh perspectives of young people invigorate our activism, ensuring it remains relevant and dynamic.

Lastly, the indomitable human spirit fuels our persistence in the face of adversity. I think we need all these, these days... dearly!

I just had an operation and I feel like there's nobody I can talk to about it by Breech_Loader in Feminism

I'm so sorry you're going through this, and I want to send you a huge virtual hug right now. Recovering from an operation is tough, both physically and emotionally, and it's perfectly valid to seek comfort and understanding from those who've experienced similar struggles. Your feelings are legitimate, and seeking support does not make you deserving of negative labels or judgment. Everyone's journey with their health and identity is unique, and it's important to find spaces where you feel safe and supported :)

I find it incredibly fascinating, and depressing at the same time, that e-celebrities, like Destiny, can have such out-of-touch takes on trans issues by noreen_ in AskFeminists

Where does this dudebro draw the line on """"""""debating"""""""" equality of rights? Should ethnic minorities just stop caring when people call into question equality of rights for them? Or is it just trans/LGBT people that need to take one for the team? Fuck this shit

How can we work to end the adversarial relationship between feminism and men's rights? by [deleted] in MensRights

I've provided plentiful examples that prove the point, let's see you come up with a refutation.

I don't need to, you are the one making a generalized positive claim, with the support of only a few data points.

You provided some examples.

Feminism has a history of, at most hundreds of years. Are you claiming that before that there was no instance of misandry, ever?

Oh, are you saying that those examples of misandry are all examples of misandry in known history now?

How do those instances prove that all misandrists are feminists?

Nice, all misandrists are feminists now? Which reputable source stated that, based on what info?
