  • I used to see a lot of liberal feminist pages on Instagram that I am now kinda suspicious of. The issues they brought up were always, exclusively, cishet issues, like luxury tax on tampons and sexism in workplaces. Not that these aren’t serious issues, but there was never any mention of how queer women are affected by these things, or women of colour of neurodivergent women and so on. I don’t think I ever saw a single instance of how patriarchy negatively affects men, especially marginalised men, men were only portrayed as benefitting from patriarchy. I’d see these infographics where the only men that existed were businessmen in suits, and the only women that existed were white middle class cishet women.

    Such a narrow focus on elevating one group isn’t liberation, it’s just wanting privileges to be extended to yourselves. These people haven’t done a serious examination of patriarchy, they just know how it affects themselves and think “well, I would like it to stop affecting me personally”. Dismantling patriarchy is something that requires queer theory and moving past gender binaries and intersectionilism, and anyone who isn’t willing to take that step shouldn’t be considered a feminist.
