So what do we do about these people who have somehow not been able to actively participate in a healthy society?
I don't have the answer, but I just don't think that we need to do like some kind of like deeply special outreach because so much of our society is already dedicated to supporting men and making them feel better.
No, no, it's fine.
I don't know that feminism has changed.
We're still fighting the same fight we've always fought.
I think a lot of our work has become more urgent.
Right now, we're trying to figure out how do we stop losing ground?
How do we get more people on board with recognizing that women are people, that women matter?
When you look at all of the disparities that women continue to face,
It's like, how do we continue to remind people of this when we have an administration that's saying, oh, women have it great, no more need for feminism, when it's patently untrue?
I think our work is just incredibly urgent right now.
And what a lot of people don't understand is that our work as feminists is
is not only about bettering the lives of women and making sure that women have equity in society.
It's about bettering the lives of everyone, regardless of gender.
It is about making sure that we have a planet to live on, and that everyone deserves equal pay for equal work, that everyone should have bodily autonomy.
And that gets so deeply misunderstood and lost
That's why I am able to care about the very sad and disillusioned young men in the manosphere.
It's like, yeah, you want to see me dead.
You think I have no value because I'm over the age of 32 or whatever.
But I still see you as a human being.
