I started to become interested in feminism over the last few months, but with the last horrifying cases of crimes against women i saw that many feminist women have (reasonably) learned to fear us, or at least, have some resentment towards us (again, reasonably), so, do we have a place in this movement, or we should take a step aside
Interestingly, 90% of the content is posted by a man. Just sayin.
(yes, that would be me)
But I think @ada@ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone makes a great point. I post articles that largely pertain to men in !mensliberation@lemmy.ca, since that’s a feminist space dedicated to men’s voices and highlights how inequity impacts men. To piggyback off their point, and I do realize the irony in me saying this, I think there’s a downside to men driving the conversation in feminist spaces (e.g.: the most upvoted comment ends up being about men). Men already dictate hegemonic beliefs in most spaces in society.
I think this answers the question OP asked, and I don’t think anybody disagreed so far: the answer is yes, but not to detriment of the expression of the voice of women, who are the main victims of gender inequality. And like, even if men agree, we shouldn’t make it all about us, and learn to shut up sometimes.
Is that what you guys meant?
