I don't understand Black people who are not feminists. Bruh, do you really hate racial discrimination or are you just upset because you are not always the race with the power to racially discriminate against other races?
I can understand men who are not feminists. Its very difficult for groups who have privileges that are denied others to acknowledge their privileges, talk more of working towards giving up those privileges. Yet, I can't help but wonder if these men actually realise how much better their lives would be in a world where everybody is equal on the basis of gender.
The latest demographic census of the world indicates that there more than double the number of women in the world than men. Do you realise that this world, as developed and advanced as it is today, has, historically, barely utilised up to 50% of the human potential it has seen? Basically, by restricting how and where women can contribute to the society, our world has been running a marathon with its hands firmly tied behind its back.
Think of how close we came to never experiencing Emily Dickinson's writings. Imagine if J.K. Rowling was born a century earlier and as result never got to publish Harry Porter. Think of the millions of equally talented women who would have made equally significant strides in many other fields of endeavours if they were not shut out of those fields, because certain people decided that certain jobs and studies were for men only. Can you even begin to comprehend this waste of human potential calculated across the years our world has been in existence?
Now, I know that extremists exist, and there are misogynists who disguise their hatred for men under feminism, but when have we ever allowed extremism to stop us? Religious extremists, for example, have always existed, from the church burning people accused of witchcraft to ISWAP and ISIS murdering people for lunch, but has that stopped anyone from preaching Christianity and Islam?
Hell yeah.
