Not necessarily he. It may be society in which he exists.
Let’s not hide behind “society”.
Let’s take up OPs challenge and, each of us, take a hard look at how we treat and think of women, and if we were a woman, would we like being treated that way?
Say that to a progressive man living in Afghanistan.
I’ll say that to any man or to any rodent that needs to hear it.
Putting yourself in another person’s place and using that as the measure of how people should act is not a question of society, culture or religion.
It’s basic human decency and human rights, and the cornerstone of many a religion, if you’re so inclined.
I’m not saying that this Afghan man needs to march outside this very instant with posters and protest for women’s rights, that would accomplish nothing other than getting shot.
What I’m saying is that every one of us needs to reflect on how we treat others - and it doesn’t matter who, men, women, white, black, anything - and if we wouldn’t want to be treated in the same way, then we need to change what we’re doing.
If you don’t understand this, you’re scum and I don’t want you anywhere near me or my loved ones.
Or they see how other men and women treat effeminate men. Not everyone is projecting.

Wherever you’re going with this is probably going to be irrelevant to my point so I’ll just ignore it.

How do you read a comment that talks about men treating femininity poorly and conclude it’s ignoring the existance of the patriarchy?
No, that’s simply an insecure man.
A lot of shy men might also not like to be seen as feminine or seen at all.
Is this one reversible? A woman that doesn’t want to seem masculine treats men badly?
How does it consider trans men who want to be perceived with their gender, not their assigned one?
This one I’m sorry but I don’t buy it. It might have negative connotations in some cases, but as a broad generalization doesn’t hold water
How this connects to production? I think that this would be better to place in other comunities.
I mean, feminism and equality are directly linked to socialism
Can’t have one without the other
Feminism is core left ideology. Liberation is for all.
Exactly. Recently I told someone that I don’t think it’s possible to be an effective feminist without being anti-capitalist. It works the other way too — even if one doesn’t actively identify as a feminist, anyone who is interested in resisting capitalism must acknowledge the importance of feminism
It’s an honest mistake, they meant to post on Memes of Re-production.
Leslie Jordan.
I’ll clarify, a hero to us all.
Good gotcha.
Beautiful.
