Idk, i think a lot of people have actually lost the plot in feminism.

Real, actually mature feminists are the ones who try to dismantle patriarchal expectations and traditions and recreate society as a safe place where no one is judged for preferences/gender/etc(as long as youre not like, violating human rights)

Not because they necessarily want women to own the world or keep all men tied up and locked in rooms, but because they recognise that men, women, children, queer, poor, disabled and all other marginalized communities face challenges and discrimination because of patriarchy(directly or indirectly).

Men are told dressing in a certain way or crying or complaining is weakness("men dont cry" "men dont wear pink, thats a girly colour"). Children from a young age are told to use specific toys, often with no choice(if a boy tries to play with his sister's dolls or tea set, he's immediately taken away and given a truck or action figure, and scolded for trying to play with girl toys and vice versa). Disabled/queer men are treated as inferior and dumb, and disabled/queer women/enby people are treated like a liability or as a circus for male entertainment(iykyk).

Real feminists ALWAYS stand up for victims, no matter their gender. right?

i know a lot of desi people around the age of 16-20(my age range) and WAYYY too many of them say rude stuff like racial slurs or others, both which i feel are extremely disrespectful

for racial slurs, they usually reason with "well im not white!!!!!" or "i was just singing lyrics okay dont be so woke" brother youre not black either and songs arent an excuse😭🙏

for other slurs they just say they wanna call that person stupid??????? just say stupid at this point?? no need to bring in a term used to degrade people with mental illnesses, which irks me a bit quick, since i have had a few diagnoses for my mental health and my own relatives and family have called me crazy or psycho or other stuff

why do people do this? not just boys but girls too? do they not know these words are hateful and rude or do they just not care? has the internet desensitized us this much?
