I was wrong...feminists do make sense, this kind of behavior is what is meant by "mansplaining"... This is so ridiculous, how do these men know so much about women's grievances that they're an expert at it?... Even more of an expert than a actual living woman...that has actually lived as a woman..that is seriously bizarre. Yes, you do need a vagina to mansplain about women's issues....to women.
Oh and btw comparing racism and sexism is about the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen, black people gets gunned down like crazy, there is actual clip of a cop saying "I only shoot ni***"s", prisons are privatized so they have quotas to fill... The kind of issues black people face and women face is not even comparable because the kind of issues black people face is magnitudes more severe, they get gunned down on a regular basis ffs, if a woman walks into a store the clerk doesn't go "argh this freaking woman" unless that is some neckbearded edge lord, men are actually MORE nice to women than they are to men(this is not even contestable btw) but black people face a lot of vitriol just for being black.
"Men's issues are caused by women's issues not being properly addressed"
Lmao what kind of logic is this? Men's issues are caused by men's issues! not women's issues not being addressed, I'm pretty sure one could think up a way of how solving men's issues without solving women's issues would indirectly benefit women as well...but that line of reasoning doesn't even make any sense.
It's like seeing a burning house and going "oh this issue is caused by not installing proper fire safety equipment, so the way we will solve this problem(the house freaking burning) is by urging people to install fire safety equipment"
It would be mansplaining what I did if I acted like I knew more about a topic than a woman who has clearly shown they understand the topic better than I do.
Im not too proud of a person, though. In case this is what has been happening, I will ponder this to myself and do my best to avoid mansplaining next time.
