Trump isn’t an icon of positive masculinity. He also did very little for young men during his four years as president

    If you think the situation before the 19th amendment was ratified was ‘men could vote and women couldn’t’, you’re carrying around an elementary school level understanding of that history.

    There were demographics of men who still weren’t allowed to vote after the 19th, who the suffragettes gave zero shits about enabling.

    This narrative of ‘feminism fights for men’s issues too’ needs to die. It has never been true on any significant scale, and this rhetoric only started as a means to devalue and justify attacking movements that do seek to address misandry and injustices with primarily/exclusively male victims.

      I gave but a small slice of historical context. You decided I left stuff out on purpose and then made that left out stuff about “male victims.”
