Text 5 Jun 21 notes Anti-feminists are sexist

feministsaresexist:

You can say it’s a movement that advocates equality.
You can say it’s a movement full of theories on how to bring about equality.
But is not above questioning, as the movement is made up of flawed people, just as any movement is.
It is not the epitome of all that is right and good.
It is only a theory, and theories can be disproved.

This is another version of the ‘atheists are evil’ fallacy, which goes as follows:

  1. (Religion) advocates an interpretation of morality
  2. Atheism rejects (Religion)
  3. Atheism therefore rejects all morality

In this case:

  1. Feminism advocates an interpretation of equality
  2. Anti-feminism rejects feminism
  3. Anti-feminism therefore rejects all equality

Atheists can be immoral, but so can the religious.

Anti-feminists can be sexist, but so can feminists.

I’m a feminist and I encourage anti-feminists to join me, but I don’t automatically assume they’re sexist idiots if they don’t.

We’re supposed to be fighting stereotypes, people.

(feministsaresexist, this applies to you too)
