Egalitarian: “Women are just as capable of being dangerous as men.”
—
Feminist: “Women are scared to walk home at night. Men aren’t!”
Egalitarian: ”Men are more likely to be attacked, but everyone deserves equal protection. Fear is not gendered.”
—
Feminist: Men who say ‘not all men’ are the problem.

Egalitarian: “Well…”
This is retardedGreat argument
This is actually really wrong?? Feminism is seeing that women are more oppressed than men, women get attacked more than men. We want women to be equal, not better. There’s misogyny and misandry. Feminism isn’t misandry, it’s people born women being valued the same as people born men.
And btw you shouldn’t use “retarded” as some sort of insult or synonym for stupid.
I agree that retarded shouldn’t be used as an insult, but this post is a bullshit strawman. “Egalitarians” don’t want equality. Look at any anti-SJW blog and that’s easy enough to see.
And yes, it’s completely fair that white cis men’s opinions are disregarded. They’re not affected by racism or transphobia so they don’t get a say in it. They already have so much power in real life, so I think it’s fair that other groups can discuss their issues on tumblr.
Have you even looked through the “kill all men tag”. Feminists don’t use it. Yeah, there are feminists who generalize men, but antifeminists generalize men at least ten times more. You do realize that when you say “don’t dress sexy in front of a man unless you’re ready to get raped” you’re saying “all men are rapists with no self control”?
Feminists don’t care about antifeminists’ labels as much as they care about your ideals. Antifeminists are the ones who say shit like “women belong in the kitchen” and believe that women shouldnt control their own reproductive rights, which isn’t equality. I’ve never met an antifeminist who actually was pro-equality
