It’s really telling when a man’s immediate response to women advocating for equal rights and gender equality is to bring up things like fair fights, the ability to hit women back, or being drafted into war. If your first reaction to women wanting equality is violence or placing women in dangerous situations, perhaps you should consider self-reflection. “Feminism” and “gender equality” can be annoying for some to hear, and questions may arise like, “Aren’t women equal today? Why is this still a thing?” But the reality is that women still face social inequality and are at a higher risk of violence from men (physically, sexually, etc). Also, in many countries, women are nowhere near equal to men in terms of legal rights and autonomy. So, if your first thought is hitting women and having them join the military, you’re part of the problem.
But then again, a lot of women’s fashion is women dressing for women. Which is superb. And it’s always been that way. The poke bonnet, large bustles and hoop skirts. Men hated those things so much they made comics about them in the newspaper and women liked them so they kept wearing them. To this day you see the phenomenon in women’s comments sections where a woman will show her outfit or makeup and all the women will cheer her on and there will be straight men like “You look like shit and no man likes that.” and she’ll be like “Awesome. Fuck you. I’m dressing for my friends, not you.”
The problem is that straight men will dress for other straight men and get angry women do not find it attractive. Women will dress for other women and be happy another woman paid her a compliment and not be sobbing and rolling around at the thought men don’t find her huge eyeliner sexy. Men will go out of their way to say “You’re never getting a man looking like that. Dudes hate unnatural hair colors and tattoos and piercings.” under a lesbian’s post. A woman posts a picture of her with her boyfriend and there are rabid incel gymbros in the comments like “Why is this ugly dude getting bitches and I can’t get laid???” Probably because you aren’t listening to women and don’t care what they think or want.
