i can't help but see that this sub has changed, its becoming a circlejerk.

gone are the days of genuine anger and passion, its been replaced with a level of fault finding and offense taking only matched by the echochambers of tumbler and other such idiotic places.

we need passion back, we need movement back, we need to expend energy fighting on the fronts which matter, not the constant "a bad lady did this" or "look at this joke/song/advert" bullshit we have currently.

we need dialogue, we need allies, we need voices away from AVFM or the spearhead, we need to make this movement apolitacal and we need to start welcoming more dissenting voice, we even need to welcome feminist or those with a feminist bent who wish to help us.

i am honestly starting to feel pushed out of a movement which saved me, marginalised by hardliners and traditionalists. and i doubt i am the only one.

lets fight feminism when we need to, when it pushes against shared parenting as the standard, when it pushes to defund mens shelters or when its campaigns do not recognise male victims or the suffering of men and boys.

lets make things better!!

edit: it is disheartening to realise this attempt at making things better for us has been linked in AMR, sorry about that.
