There've been a couple of cultural dust ups on fedi in the last few weeks and I just wanted to thank the men who've boosted and uplifted the voices of women calling bullshit, and especially those taking the time to talk to men individually trying to explain why they are out of line.
Women often complain (justifiably!) about having to do all the emotional labour in social settings and it is just so beautiful to see men stepping up.
Serious respect, mah dudes!
💪🧡
☝️and for the men feeling a lil butt hurt about being called out, please know that the people pushing back on your statements care about you (yeah I know it doesn't feel that way in the moment) and are investing in you because they know you can do better with the right information and tools to paradigm shift.
So take some time to digest what folks have been telling you, maybe lurk on some tags and just LISTEN.
Being uncomfortable is where you grow.
Thank you so much for these truly wise words!
And for everyone else: if you ever wondered why feminism benefits all of us, read the posts above again.
Who wouldn't like to have people with the ability to call out one's bullshit with an accurate analysis of power WHILE TAKING CARE OF EVERYBODY INVOLVED?

@vlrny I noticed this too ❤️
Even when I have people blocked, it is heartening to see people replying, sometimes over and over, trying to work it through
