Whether they want to admit it or not, feminists who are constantly going on and on about how they don't hate men are overly concerned about men and their feelings. I said what I said
It's as big a waste of time as the ppl who are constantly going on about how "being pro Black doesn't mean they are anti white". 1. Who cares, for real? 2. Who are you saying this for? Cos it's not for the benefit of the marginalized ppl in either situation
And some feminists hate men. For good reason. You're more concerned with consoling men whose egos cannot handle the possibility that not every woman is available to them than you are with affirming feminists who have every reason to hate men. So where do we go?
And it's hella interesting that we don't tend to see these grand statements being made about feminist love for queer or trans ppl from cishetero feminists. It's always about how they actually "don't hate" men. Again what is the reason aside from preserving your proximity to men?
I'm just saying, if reassuring men is part of your praxis, leave the rest of us out of it. Declaring a love for men isn't a priority for some of us so we would like to be excluded from the "feminism isn't about hating men" narrative. Idc if my oppressors think I hate them
