“Hi, this is a feminism rant. Please excuse any grammatical errors, random tangents, or just simply not making sense. I am very tired and working on a shit ton of homework, typing this up in-between assignments, so I’m not going about this to the best of my ability. And this is all just my opinion, as well; I cannot speak for any other feminist.

First and foremost, there’s a perception of feminism in the general media, across all genders, races/ethnicities, sexualities, religions, etc that is utterly untrue. That perception is that feminism is focused solely on women’s rights and the hatred of men, and nothing else. This is not the case.

“Why call it feminism if it’s not just about women? Why not humanism, or equalism?” - Feminism fights for men’s rights, problems, etc just as much as it does for women. Feminism is equal rights, respects, etc for ALL sexes/genders/gender identities. Feminism is not just about women’s issues. It involves men’s issues. The mainstream media refuses to acknowledge that, though, and paints feminism in a sexist light. But believe me, the true feminists are fighting for you, too. Do a simple Google search, some deep digging, and you’ll find some great things women are doing/have done in the name of men’s rights!

“If this movement would have been started by African Americans, would it be okay to call them African Americanists because they’ve suffered more than other ethnicities?” - If it were primarily about race/ethnicities, then yes, in my opinion. (But, as a white person, I cannot answer that myself, as I am not the one being oppressed.) However, though it does bring in other factors, it is mainly about gender equality, and females have been more oppressed than males (I’m not saying males can’t/haven’t been oppressed, but you can’t legitimately argue it’s worse for men), therefore it’s called Feminism. And, women were the ones to begin feminism, to bring these issues to light.

“If you’re trying to rally people to your side, you should probably use a better term. Call it the toaster movement if you want. It’s just bad marketing to use a name that in the mainstream is used by women trying to oppress men.” - Calling it something else would defeat the entire purpose of the movement, though. It would just be another win for the oppressors. Women cannot call anything theirs, or someone will throw a shitfit over it. So, no, we won’t call it anything else, because we will not let this be taken from us. Women are not trying to oppress men with feminism. There are women trying to oppress men, but that is called misandry, which is a form of sexism. These two are often confused in the media, because anything that benefits women is automatically assumed to be misandrist, and this thought is often stemmed from internalized sexism, though it’s not truly the case.

“Your reasoning for not changing the name just further proves that it is mainly a women’s rights movement.” - Yes, it is /mainly/ a women’s rights movement. That’s what it started as, what it stemmed from. However, it has evolved over the years as our society as, and grown to realize many more issues than just shit that happens to women. Now, it does focus on more than just women’s rights. - To reiterate, my reasoning for not changing the name, is because women came up with this. We started this. We are the reason this has evolved and become more than just women’s rights. This is the one thing that people, men in particular (as they are the ones who have oppressed women the most), cannot take away from us. If we changed the name, we would be giving up part of our identity. We would be giving into oppression, just because it’s something that people (again, particularly men) don’t like. That would be us conceding to oppression. We’re not just keeping the name because it’s something we have. We’re keeping it because WOMEN started this movement. We are the ones who began fighting for EVERYONE’S rights. We are the ones who were oppressed for so long and are now willing to stand up and fight. - If we stop calling it FEMINISM, it loses it’s meaning. If men AND women had been EQUALLY oppressed, or if men had jumped in and started fighting for us, too, then hell yeah we’d called it Equalism or something of the sort. But that’s not the case. - And another reason to add, as I tried to explain before, whenever women have tried to rise up and do something for ourselves, claiming it in the name of women, we have been shut down, either forced to change or get rid of whatever it was immediately. This is the same case. Some people think it’s too women-oriented, so they want it to change because it doesn’t fit their standards. But changing it because some assnugget thinks it doesn’t involve men enough, would literally just be giving into the same things that oppressed us before; it would be taking away something we have built up and claimed for our own, and put to good use. Fuck that.

“I have encountered a great many women claiming to be feminists who oppress men.” - Yes, that does happen. But those women are not feminists. They can claim it all they want, but the plain and simple truth is that they’re misandrists, just sexist assholes. You see a lot of “feminism/feminists” on the media, particularly Tumblr, that have these warped ideas of feminism, that are completely ignorant and sexist. These feminists have that same perception as the general media, and although they claim to be feminists, they’re just simply not. Any true feminist will tell you the same. There are both men and women giving feminism a bad name. Men and women who don’t understand what true feminism is.

And any true feminist will tell you that women can be shit. Women can be scum. We can abuse, rape, murder, oppress, anything just as men. It doesn’t necessarily happen as much, though, and the odds were never and have never been in women’s favor. Hence the name feminism.

So, fucking fight me, you sexist nuggets. Whether you’re a man, a women, whatever. I’ll fight ya. In the name of FEMINISM, equal rights for everyone.“
