Feminism is about a 5 year old, thought.

[Merrick]

Clearly defining Feminism is super important I feel.

If it's against men for women, then it's obviously negative.

If it's supporting women in the face of the strength of man, then it's highly positive.

One lowers everyone, while the other complements.

That’s the thing, women are calling for equality. Some (many) men are viewing this as women being against men. We see the same thing with racism in the US. A group comes together to defend the lives of black people who are gunned down by the police, they call themselves Black Lives Matter, and reactionaries are aghast and think that’s some militant call to arms, that only black lives matter, and so come up with the counterslogan “all lives matter”. The elites meanwhile are giddy because people are so easily divided.

If we all stood in solidarity together, instead of fighting for scraps of social status and meager resources, we could make major positive change in this world. Instead we get foolishness like women shouldn’t be cops or feminism is akin to the thinking of a five year old child. Holier than thou defensive condescending men telling women how good they actually have it and it’s men who are the real victims. It’s so predictable that it’s sad.

So what you've done is taken a group. We'll call this group women. Then you combined this group and another group together. We'll call this new third group victims. Then you proceeded to create a discussion about victims. I agree. We should punish the people that aren't victims until they are victims too. Then we can all be sad and mopey together. Unity consciousness we'll call it. It'll be a hot seller.

No one said anything about being sad or mopey. I was using an example of a different oppressed group to show how when any oppressed group in the US speaks out for equality, others view it as an attack on them.
