(41,976 posts)I'm going back to bed.
With the failure of VAWA, the constant and continual attacks on women's reproductive rights, the pay and authoritative position inequities, the standard cultural use of prostituting women's bodies to sell products, just for starters, and the response is terms like 'damsel in distress'? What the fuck?
Good thing MRA's derailed their own movement by creeper redditt sites among other things or this would be much worse.
Thank God for men like my husband, and my male friends who do speak up and support women's rights without devolving into a whining session. It's easy for them to be passive because of male privilege, but light a fire under them and they don't respond with 'what about me'
Oh, and
