I think this is a poor framing for the rest of your comment, which is essentially a feminist critique of patriarchy and capitalism, and how patriarchy/capitalism is a harmful structure to men as well. Progressives are totally on board with this.
- Kye 6y agoI was on the train to goofball-ville a long, long time ago because I thought the goofballs were the only ones making these critiques of binarist advocacy focused on one part of the problem. Fortunately I found that feminists made them earlier and better than any MRA type person could ever hope to. Give me any number of Judith Butlers or bell hookses over the sharpest "intellectual dark web" genius.
- cloudier 6y ago+1000 It’s just way easier to help women achieve success in a way that helps capitalists than it is to push for better working conditions for parents. But pushing for better working conditions isn’t impossible either, and the US is an extreme outlier in how hostile it is to working parents.
