1. Feminism, at its absolute core, is the shocking proposition
Sat Mar 3, 2012, 11:59 AM

that women are human beings. Many if not most men are on board with that, although letting go of entitlement is still hard for even the best of them.

All antifeminist agitation is dedicated to the proposition that women are not fully human, lack the capacity for free will, and remain permanently as children needing male guidance.

No man can relate to what it's like growing up female just like I can't relate to gender dysphoria issues. However, understanding the hideousness of the social taboos around both isn't necessary. Admitting they exist and working to overturn them is enough.
