I see it ALL the time online. Every time anyone brings up women’s struggles, it instantly becomes “oh but men have these struggles too, look at me I’m a man”. And everytime FGM gets brought up, some man HAS to bring up circumcision as if it’s the same at all, disregarding the whole misogynistic and deadly culture of it. I’m just so fucking sick of it.

I am so glad this community of women exists so I can let my thoughts out, because I fear that if I wrote this on a mainstream feminist subreddit, there would be people going nOT ALL MEN!

Urgh, the bit about FGM reminded me that there was an advert on TV in the UK for a charity that helps protect girls from FGM and child marriage. When my dad saw it, he immediately went "and what about all of the boys dying from starvation!?". It's maddening.

Girls are immune to starvation, after all. That's why girls are often given less food than their brothers.
