RE: Who says feminism is a dirty word?
As a man, I generally don't think it's my lane to critique how women do feminism, but some of the stuff she's written and said since the "redpilling" (her word, not mine) has been appalling, and so counter to her past work.
Also, I saw that you clicked the TGP banner. It's a really nice discord server dedicated to supporting and promoting women on Steemit.
Hey, I think its important for everyone to say “hey, that feels sticky” when something doesn’t seem right. I wrote a piece a few days back about “White Allyship” and it doesn’t involve being silent, sometimes it involves speaking up. I think it’s great that you’re asking questions. I’m interested to probe deeper into this, it’s always interesting when people change their careers really suddenly...also that Discord channel sounds great and I’ll go check ‘em out! Thanks so much. :)
It's tricky. I write a weekly Sunday feminism post here, and that's always complicated (and is, in fact, the topic of today's post), but my general feeling is we should take the lead in critiquing our own, and a backseat in critiquing those we have privilege over in the specific topic. I explored that a bit in another Feminism Sunday post, about intersectionality.
Sorry if that came off as super self-promot-y, but the posts are relevant, I swear.
No, no...it makes sense. It’s that we’re both writing about things we’re actually interested in. ha. I think it’s similar to White Allyship...as a white person I need to talk to other white people (the hardest work is closest to home!). I think men have a huge role to play in talking to other men to help us all get more organized! It takes all of us. Leave a link to your feminism post sometime, I’d love to read and don’t want to forget!
Happy to. This is the latest one, and I've included links to the previous ones at the end of it.
