No one on HN wants to hear it but this is part of the Feminist agenda.
It's against feminist interests to do so.
It's sexist and spitting in the face of gender equality. It's feminism not egalitarianism.
Talking about “true” feminism is almost meaningless (or at least very imprecise). There are several strands of feminism. Radical feminism in particular tend to have a complete disregard for men’s issues, but my experience is that there are many moderate feminist who do care about gender issues on all sides.
I think you should say "some feminists". The great 99% of the rest of us really don't see the problem with it.
Probably in the broad category of “feminism is untouchable, even when it is inconsistent with women's rights”. It's a direct copy of a tweet though, so maybe a different person.
What's with the feminism non-sequitur?
"Well that's not feminism"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_true_scotsman
Those women clearly need feminism
"Given that feminism is the advocation of social and political equality twixt genders"sigh - that's not really what feminism is... But no point to argue on HN. Just, maybe, keep your mind open next time you read feminist texts, and look for the real message.
