!antisexism@lemmy.today is a community directed against the gender-based discrimination of men, women and nonbinary people.
It stands strongly against patriarchy and all forms of gender inequality, and is supportive of both feminism and masculism, as long as their end goal is equality.
Since, apparently, no Lemmy communities I know have tackled the gender-based issues from this angle, I decided to start my own. Will be happy to see you!
Love it! I was recently thinking about the stuff a lot. Yesterday me and my wife were watching our first marvel movie together and she had sooooo much knowledge of the characters and universe. She said she was always so self conscious of that because she was always taught its a “guy thing” to love comic books and superheros. She said she knows i don’t care about that but she was still worried i would think she is to “boyish”. I said i love how much she knows and i want her to be herself and tell me all about it. Not whatever gender role she was told to act like. She grew up in a very conservative right wing family. She is a hardcore leftist nowadays and learning to stand up for herself and i couldn’t be prouder of her.
This plays such a bigger role in our daily lives than we think and its important to talk about.
It’s insane how much people are self-limiting with all those stereotypes. In my own relationship, I often help my loved one untangle a lot as well.
