is the man or bear thing rhetorically or optically the perfect feminist meme that is beyond criticism? no.
but is it leaps and bounds better at getting men to understand the material consequences of patriarchy on the physical and emotional health of women than that stupid “kill all men” meme from last decade? definitely.
Because—and I’ll say this slowly for you—in this scenario, women are the victims.
Would you demand that the victim of a mugging do their part to stop the mugger from mugging?
Women aren’t universally victims. They are not some sort of angelic holy being incapable of wrong. They’re human beings.
Isn’t that the whole point of feminism? To treat women like people? Not livestock to be protected?
Yes. That is why I said “in this scenario.” Apparently, I didn’t say it slowly enough.
What scenario? Have you even read the thread you’re in?
Should I try being patronising too? Would it help?
