'Yes, women are flawed, women are human beings and women can display toxic traits. But is toxic femininity really a concept that needs to be addressed?' ✍️ nicolathorp_ writes for MetroOpinion
Take ‘woke’, as another example. An adjective meaning, ‘alert to racial prejudice and discrimination’, which has since been warped into an insult by right-wing commentators bringing themselves to the verge of a heart attack while ranting about Meghan Markle, trans folk or vegans.
‘Feminist’ gets changed to ‘Feminazi’, which shows not only a gross underplaying of the actions of Nazis, but an intentional misinterpretation of the desires of feminists.comes around, certain Twitter users can’t help but demand answers as to why there is no straight pride equivalent. Every International Women’s Day, there are countless calls from very angry internet men asking, ‘When is International Men’s Day?’Terms like ‘feminism’, ‘woke’ and ‘Pride’ exist because we live in a society that was designed to put women, people of colour and those in the LGBTQIA+ community at a disadvantage.
We don’t need ‘straight Pride’ or Men’s Rights Activism because being straight or male does not put you at a disadvantage. They are false equivalents, cheapening the very real and important issues facing men and women alike.
