ideas for men

thatdiabolicalfeminist:

An actual male-focused feminism-style movement that was about more than just enacting misogyny would focus on:

  • dismantling toxic masculinity
  • ending the devaluation of femininity that causes 99% of the issues specific to men
  • ending homophobia, transphobia, biphobia, intersexism, and cissexism among men
  • providing resources to young trans, gay, bi, and nonbinary guys
  • ending mental illness stigma among men
  • teaching about consent, abuse, and how to spot it and what to do
  • acting as real allies to feminists by spreading feminist ideals among men

Men: If you want to know what to do since we don’t want you to take leadership positions in feminist spaces, consider this a wakeup call. This is your job.


stfumisogynists:

Tell a man you don’t believe men can be feminists and watch how quickly he proves why. 

As a male feminist ally you should:

iamatinyowl:

•accept that some spaces/conversations do not include you

•not attempt to dominate conversations with your experience of the world

•be aware of your privilege and bring this awareness to any conversations

•not ever use the ‘not all men’ defence. ever.

•not discount to experiences of women because they do not fall into your personal experience of the world

leftwing men are like:

  • men: I support women!!
  • women: stop making sexist jokes.
  • men: NO!!! It's funny to laugh at your oppression!!
  • women: Stop watching porn.
  • men: NO!! I feel entitled to consume women like sex objects.
  • women: Take our concerns seriously.
  • men: NO!! You need to be sweeter, nicer, quieter, actually just don't say anything that could make me feel uncomfortable.
  • women: You're not a very good ally at all. What exactly do you do for us??
  • men: HOW DARE YOU SAY I AM NOT A GOOD ALLY?? I RESPECT WOMEN!!
Things Men Who Want To Support Feminism Need To Do:

marsinlibra:

  • stop watching porn
  • stop using slurs against women
  • speak out against these things
  • refuse to laugh at sexist jokes, even when no women around
  • stop telling sexist jokes, even when no women around
  • talk about women you admire (for non-sexual reasons) to other men
  • refuse to participate in “rating” women
  • vote for representatives who will make women’s rights a priority
  • when you see a woman being ignored or spoken over, say, “I think she had something to say, and I would like to hear it.”
  • give women credit for our ideas and accomplishments, make sure to voice appreciation for women’s contributions often taken for granted
  • stop asking women to do menial things you can do for yourself–example, Terry Crews got himself a purse because he realized he was always asking his wife to hold things for him
  • if you are straight or bi, educate yourself on the female body. read the Vagina Monologues, etc..
  • consume media with female main characters, normalize the idea of relating to and empathizing with women’s experiences
