Isn't basically everyone a feminist? Like I imagine most people in western societies support equal gender rights? I imagine the word is being used to describe people who are campaigning for change or something but that word more accurately refers to anyone who isn't misogynist
Wish that were true. Unfortunately Misogyny, Homophobia, Transphobia, etc. are on the rise again. Patriarchal structures never really disappeared, they're just less visible today
I'm not saying the structures don't exist, I'm saying that if you asked the average Joe whether or not he believed women were equal to men he'd say yes
It’s a bit wishy-washy. A lot of guys like myself may think that yes, women, LGBTQ, and other groups all desvere equal rights, but don’t wanna be called or labeled a feminist due to bad experiences with the movement and its flaws itself.
