can you be certain

The Men's Rights subreddit had a poll about "at what age did you realize women don't deserve rights" yesterday, and dehumanizing women has historically been and still is a keystone ideology for patriarchial belief structures, so yes.

anyone who responds

You must understand that they do not get off on responses. They get off on validation for their posts on external male communities, and the general spirit of demotivating ebil feminazis. It's not about us at all, and as such our behaviour does not change theirs.

disproportionate

Yes, but these men are drawn to us like flies to honey. That's the point. We don't hate men, since men like r/gendercriticalguys exist and are cool. But normal men don't seek out women to harass, these guys do. It's just part of the Rad Fem Experience.

D&C

Yeah I know. But women's freedom to discuss women's issues is essential. We fought long and hard to be viewed as people, and are not going to give that up. We will be content when women have, at the very least, equal say and equal power worldwide.

Have you seen the misogyny on the internet? The list of subs they didn't ban? They are influental, and outnumber us by the thousands.

Gender dynamics is, I would say, a far more critical issue in the long term for the survival of our species than the politics of the US, although the collapse of the latter would negatively impact the former. Personally I'd say it's too late, but my other political takes are usually reserved for non-feminist accounts due to risk of doxxing.

Freedom of communication

As I said elsewhere, I am all for opening the sub for general questions once our numbers are back to normal. But right now, there's maybe 1 radical feminist capable of answering questions for every 1000 questions.

I am not your enemy

I'd go to say that any man who does not call out the influence of those men is complicit, as he still benefits from the system.

IMO this US destabilization is ultimately about depopulation and eugenics, so these are interrelated.

The accusations feel a bit premature.

  • Which individuals (presumably men) should be called out?
  • Why are they specifically called out?
  • What is the proposed outcome?
  • How will the proposed outcome improve the situation?

These specifics should be outlined (at a minimum) as a baseline for discussion.

I was tracking until this. Give me a target and I'll make the decision myself. If I disagree with you, I can understand the charge of complicity. But if I'm supposedly complicit for being ignorant then I don't want what you're selling.

It's not a question of complicit because of ignorance. But there's plenty of men who see the issues in front of them and elect to ignore it, or assume it is a female-specific behaviour because females are some sort of incomprehensible Other, while benefitting from that behaviour.
