You know that some men have been sexually abused by women, yes? Is their trauma not valid?

When I was a child, I was taught that expecting men and women to receive equal protection of the law, and equal rights under the law, was a fundamental principle of feminism.

Now I am simultaneously told by some feminists that it is "tone-deaf", while other feminists insist to me that feminism is not about women receiving special privileges that men don't have.

The proposed policy is a special privilege being extended to women and not to men.

(And this is without even considering how transgender status intersects with the policy.)



Feminism, like other -isms (communism, etc) are misaligned at the core. I'd say, feminism would be best to be erased, like other -isms.
