It makes them mad when I bring up masculinity because I think they are concerned that the focus of feminism needs to stay on women. I understand that reaction but it still makes me sad because I see the writing on the wall. We are fucking alienating men unless we speak to them too. Sakura - Thanks, cutie!

I can get this, if you're a frat boy type. But I'm not. I don't hang out with many guys to begin with, and I'm not going to hang out with people who think they have a right to other people's bodies just because. So it seems a moot point to me. Yet it's EVERYWHERE. I think a lot of feminists have an interest in maintaining gender and gendered distinctions, and so their form of feminism is about MEN and WOMEN (though probably spelled badly) not about saying that binary gender is bullshit to begin with.
