It’s Really Telling When A Man’s Immediate Response To Women Advocating For Equal Rights And Gender

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.
