This post could be pretty messy, I apology first
I've been having some deep thoughts lately as to why are misandry so persistent and prevalent (outside of this community of course), if you actually take time to read horrible subs like this, the pattern is pretty clear, its basically lies supporting lies, with enough numbers of people and louder voice, lies became the perceived "truth". No matter how logical and truthful you are, if you are in a group that has less number and are mostly silenced, you basically stands little chance of combating discrimination.
First let me get one thing straight to avoid misunderstanding. There is nothing WRONG with using the word "Feminist", since the feminism ideology is one of the main contributor to Misandry, which ultimately leads to the everyday discrimination we are facing.
But by only discussing the root of the problem might not addressing the currently situation, Its like we are in a middle of a Chess game, and we can't just magically start the game over, we will have to figure out the next step within the current composition, feminism won't just magically disappear, if you get what I mean.
There are downsides by ONLY using the word "feminist"
- Misandry happens before feminism is even a thing, misandry could have been as long as human existed, in a nutshell feminist are likely to be misandrist but not all misandrist are feminist
- Most average misandrist don't even identify themselves with any ideology let alone feminism, just look at this sub, just how many of these people are actually serious feminists? And there are rarely instance where people that identify as feminist actually supports men (I know its sound crazy, but there are feminist really do believe in equality), one example I came to mind is Cassie Jaye the producer of Red Pill Movie. Heck, even Warren Farrell used to be feminist.
- But we can't just use the word "Women" either because this is overly generalizing and keeping potential ally out of our doors, we really need any support we could get, including Women who supports us, its numbers game after all. By saying stuff like "Woman hate us" we could sometimes be aiming at the wrong people.
But there is one thing we could be undoubtedly sure of, our true enemy is universally the Misandrist. They don't have to identify as ideology, they don't have to be in any political spectrum, they just simply hate men due to their own bias.
As trivial as it might sound, we would have to take one step at a time, first we need more numbers, by changing the way we address our enemy, it might not be much in the short term, but if could give us significantly more ally in the long term.
