...OR....
Different groups of people call themselves "feminists," and don't agree with each other about changes they'd like to see in the world.
It's kind of odd to me that people (like you apparently) don't understand.
- thaumasiotes 8y agoWhat is it that you think I don't understand? I think they all agree that they'd like other people to change as an acknowledgement of their power. I also think that they can't both use the same justification to argue for opposite changes. What did I miss?
- VikingCoder 8y ago"they" is not a homogeneous group. "they" are different groups that might use the same label. They can absolutely use the same justification, to argue for opposite changes. Their justification could be as simple as, "We want to be respected," and different groups of feminists disagree with each other about how best to achieve that goal. Sure, it's even worse if you personally land in the crosshairs, but from your example it sounds like the feminists are working in different places with different languages. And perhaps the problem of gaining respect requires different solutions in different areas.
