The two minutes and nine slides that should have any egalitarian who identifies as a feminist, question their affiliation to the movement

Accountability is one of the foundational cornerstones of feminism, and yet, when confronted with the nefarious acts or bigoted words of certain feminists, or feminist groups, these battle-hardened beliefs of personal responsibility often fall at the wayside.

"They're not true feminists!" is the typical retort.

As the bitter pills of accountability, so often prescribed by feminist voices, are unceremoniously spat out when given to oneself.

Accountability for thee, and not for me, it seems.

And so, I have compiled an abridged list of unoffered apologies, that many of the world's most iconic, and well known feminists duly owe men.

Things like:

  • Ellen Pence: Erasing men within domestic violence policy.

  • Dr. Mary Koss: Or considering men who are raped by women to be "ambivalent" of their sexual desires.

  • Emmeline Pankhurst: For tracking down and shaming unenlisted men and boys during WW1, publicly humiliating them into going to the war front.

  • Emily McCombs: Apologies for stating they want to "kill all men"

  • Clementine Ford: For wishing that COVID-19, a virus that decimated male lives at unprecended rates, was just "not killing men fast enough"

  • Gloria Steinem: Perhaps an apology could be offered, for platforming Donna Hylton a woman who helped torture and murder a gay man, when she was given a headline spot at the Million Women's March?

  • Ana Redondo: What about those who spent their lives blocking shared custody laws, and fathers rights, or those who opposed gender neutral rape laws, or called services for male SA survivors a "frivolous" waste of money?

  • Sally Miller Gearhart: For suggesting the proportion of men must be reduced and maintained at approximately 10% of the human race.

Yes, apologies are owed, from many of the biggest names around, and are long overdue.

The question is, will they ever be given?
