Yes, I can definitely tell. Oh wow, thank you, I'm glad this resonated so much.
and made comments on this on Twitter too
Brave of you. I write on similar topics on Medium, and frankly, I've been astonished how quick to name-call and attack people are, especially on this subject. I had someone call me a "gatekeeper for the patriarchy" simply for suggesting that women ought to review their expectations, and what they bring to the table, before expecting a man to have everything.
women are exonerated and pitied for the sole reason that they're that.
Doesn't that sound like the most anti-feminist thing in the world, though? It's so sad, how so many women don't realize they're actually working against themselves by being "modern day feminists".
Honestly, it scares me. Because it creates the very real possibility that at some point in the future, these extremists will have gone so far that society might actually say "you know what, we've had enough of feminism". I mean, we're seeing a counter-feminist movement today, and it's not stoked by cavemen hating on women, rather by vitriolic women trying to destroy men. Terrifying implications there.
Gatekeeper for patriarchy? 😂 OMG people are useless!
It doesn't just sound like it, it is what it is. Over here we call them "Nigerian delusional feminists". I'd rather not describe what they do as remotely relating to feminism though 🙄. According to African writer, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, it's just a bunch of wicked women hating men disguising as feminists. It's saddening really.
And scary too. I do hope true feminism overshadows their gimmicks and keeps on keeping on.
I hope so, too. And thanks, I'll check out that writer :)
😎 You're most welcome.
