I believe that is the point of the comic But I disagree that these are comparable.
The all lives matter reaction was created by the far right and is coded in direct opposition of Black lives matter as a movement which they want to destroy.
Feminism, masculism and equalism are each not good or bad but require balance.
The goal of Feminism is to advocate for women rights, freedom, respect and understanding. We need focused feminism because our world is unbalancedly scaled towards men.
The (intended?) goal of Masculism is the same goal as feminism but for men, we need much less of this because the world is unbalanced in male favor but we still need some people focused on it to combat against male sexism and abuse, which is more rare but equally not ok.
The goal of equalism is to support the above to try and bring balance, to be a voice of non traditional gender groups that do not fit the traditional focus, and to opposite radical versions, comon toxic masculinity or J K Rowling style Feminism.
"Why is it called feminism, everyone should be treated equally," is exactly the same as saying, "why is it black lives matter, all lives matter?"
It's misrepresenting their goals by saying that people who fight for one aspect of an issue are saying that no other aspect of the issue matters.
Yes but I don’t think a proper equalist should make such a dumb statement, those are usually misogynists maskerading as equalist.
I consider myself an equalist and i have stated above exactly why i think feminism is important. To be an equalist in this time o history means to support feminism.
Feminists continue to lobby for priviledges in the west in aspects where they are already clearly ahead. They've stepped firmly into the side exceptionalism and supremacy.
not even true one bit.
Feminism is a very important tool in the fight for men's liberation. We men have to realize that we have been manipulated into fighting against our own interests.
We have been told it is masculine to act individualistically, but it is in our best interests to act collectively.
We have been taught that it is masculine to hide our feelings, but it is in our interests to show them, so that others can understand our struggles.
We are taught as men it is weak to ask for help. But helping others makes all of us stronger.
Feminism is for men's rights too.
No, we haven't.
To add to my other comment, the real “all lives matter” is actually antifascism. And as an antifascist I support BLM just as i would support a person of any other color that is the victim of racism of any kind of other human.
ALL lives matter has never been anything but racist whites not wanting to lose thier power.
Right, but the phrase "all lives matter" is a racist response to the BLM movement. The simple fact that you have to explain that you're not being racist when saying it shows this.
It's just the nature of things. I can't have a mustache because it only grows beneath my nose. Some asshole went and ruined that style for everyone.
You mis understand me, i very much agree that “all lives matter” is a racist dog wistle.
I am saying that equalism gets invaded by toxic masculism while “antifa” does not because fascist feel to strong about it.
There for they had to invent “all lives matter” to be a racist copy of antifa/anarchism. Its thus not comparable to how equalism does get invaded.
