#equilism

See, this is the close mindedness that will be so much of a problem in the possible future.What I was not saying was that sexism against males is an equally common aspect of our society today, and I’m not saying it isn’t either.  I wasn’t talking about specific society in this day, this place, this culture, this media, this gender, this social class, this household, this preference…I wasn’t.  That was not it at all.

I was, in fact, talking about the theoretical setting. A completely different society.  A parallel universe, a remote island with a different gender ratio, a factory-town with no outside interference in a developing country with different peoples in power.  Equilism is just as important as Feminism because it talks about the philosophical meaning of Feminism.  A group of people being mistreated based on gender.  Feminism is important because of the inequality that exists.  And NOTHING I say should detract from that!  Equilism is what I fight for as well though, because it counts for anyone in unequal social constraints.  It also is more universal than feminism.  With feminism,many people argue of the debate over transgender, genderfluid, and other genderqueer identities.  Feminism, as I have inferred, does not apply to certain people in these categories because Feminism is commonly thought to be based on the social negative connotations of the biological features of a woman.  The debate is, that if you do not look like a woman, act like a woman, and other things (which are slightly ironic in consideration of the fact that many of these aspects are caused by the social injustices) you do not receive the same mistreatments that feminism fights for solutions too.  These arguments have validity, it makes sense when you consider feminism as a response to a social attitude on what the oppressors view as the women.  The ones they actively and passively oppress.  My issue is when Feminism is the only thing preached, and preached in a light unlike any other.  Gender preferences and identities have Allies, but Females have Feminists.  Sometimes it seems like one or the other is treated with more or less respect.  And, of course, the respect that Allies deserve is in extreme question as well, for plenty of reasons.However, I like to be universal.  It’s not like I want to erase feminism, or detract from it.  I simply want to tell a story that will never run out.  And many feminists suggest that Female inequality will always be an issue- in one of two sides of a spectrum of meanings.1: Always an issue due tot he fact that even if there was global equal treatment of genders positively and negatively, there will be mistreated women out there somewhere who need help…And 2: That women will always be oppressed and never be equal enough for feminism to not be needed.Well that’s pretty damn pessimistic of person two!  I understand opinion one but opinion two sounds oddly self-serving!  Honestly, it sounds like something that could easily be twisted into an oppressing agenda, in a madly different totalitarian world.  However I love Equilism because even if worlds like that are crazy they are not impossible.We are tumblr, are we not supposed to be progressive?  Do we not all tell ourselves and others to love eachother and love ourselves?  Yes for feminism, and I will not say “yes, but”.  Yay feminism period.  People need it now.AND people also need representation without labelling.  Equilism for all who are unequally treated.
