oh man I have dealt so much with the "egalitarianism" bullshit (I think that's honestly just a euphemism for "but what about the menzzz) and "look at how horrible feminism is" in the past few weeks. I am not conflict-avoidant, but I still find the attitudes really discouraging and frustrating.

To cap it all off, my favorite uber-conservative-basically-reacionary-rightwing-nutjob friend posted a long ass note yesterday on why she hates feminism, and she started it by defining it completely wrong (it's about being selfish! women just want to get theirs and don't care about men! women want to be better!) and then went on about how a woman's true purpose was to be a man's helpmeet and men deserved to have a wife and poor them if their woman wasn't submissive and completely focused on serving him and gaaaaaaag.

I think it's 10x worse because she's also a woman. like, if you want to be a perfect 50's housewife knock yourself out, but for fuck's sake stop trying to drag other women down with you

sorry that this isn't terribly helpful. is commiserating helpful? I would just confront them and argue, but that's my nature and it doesn't seem like it will help you.

I understand. I've actually met decent people who preferred the other term but weren't misogynist and did not try to force me to take it as well (and they had decent reasons).

I can see why dealing with a lot of them would make someone get sick of it.

I've had some friends who had beliefs I thought were iffy. I just don't talk about it and hope they move past it.

I understand. I don't like it but I'm not into debate , it just tires me out and puts me in a bad mood so I try to avoid it when I can. Some people are suited to debating it out, I'm not one of them. I have more of a "I want to be happy and to make people around me happy" type of nature.
