(Anonymous) 2011-06-06 11:22 am (UTC)(link)No, male exclusionary feminism is not keeping the system in place, but it's not doing anything to overthrow it. We're not going to achieve anything sticking our fingers inside our collective ears and going 'la la la women have it so hard, men have it so easy!'. If we really want to change things, we have to accept that misogyny affects and limits *everyone*. Only when we stop thinking of feminism as a battle between us and The Evil Cis Man (And Possibly Trans* If You Are That Kind Of Feminist) and start thinking of it as a battle against constricting gender roles, only when we accept that men should be part of this battle, we will win.
And that aside, is it really that hard to understand that judging about 50% of the world for something they didn't have any control over is a dick move? It sets up a us vs. them mentality and, hey, guess what? That's exactly what the patriarchy wants us to do! It's the same shit TPTB have been doing for centuries, to convince us that women and men were soooo different that of course inequality was natural and supported by biology.
We all do our bit to support the system. A woman going 'all men are the same!' is doing her part. It's not as big a part as man making a sexist remark, but it's still helping. Why would be want to help the system at all?
