I Am a Feminist

I liked gillete's ad. Too many kneejerk MRA types associate any criticism of toxic masculinity with a critique of masculinity itself in the aggregate and broad and that's not the case.

Toxic masculinity and the theory behind it are criticizing a cultural phenemeon where we tell men in order to qualify as real men they have to be violent and socially dominant and suppress their emotions. If anything "Real feminism" is standing up for men's rights.

You might not realize it superficially because of the "Feminism" in the name but the reality is they're defending out rights to express emotions other than anger or just horniness and embrace the full spectrum of human emotion. Like Anxiety etc.

I maintain that Women's rights are human rights and because of that Feminism is not just about women but humans in general.

Boys don't cry = Toxic masculinity.
