You apparently misunderstood me, but because of how sensitive people can be to this issue, if you misunderstand me again I'll simply walk away.

But the idea is pretty simple.

If you treat me unfairly, and then turn around start telling me about how terribly someone has treated you, I'm just not going to trust it. After all, I just watched you levy many of the same accusations at me, and I know what my beliefs and opinions are. If you can do that to someone who essentially agrees with you, then I cannot trust your interpretation of something that I wasn't even privy to witness.

When feminists run around attacking everything that moves, they hurt their own agenda.

A subset of people issues are gender issues. That's pretty much indisputable.

Again, you've misunderstood me. Both men and women have inequities in society, this has been well documented, and if you were nearly as educated in feminism as you claim, I suspect you can name atleast 1 feminist (not 3rd wave) that has described these inequities for men.

It reframes the discussion from "what can we do to help prevent women from committing suicide" to "what can we do to help prevent people from committing suicide".

That is a completely different conversation, the issue is that gender feminism doesn't want to have that conversation. Equity feminism doesn't have as much of an issue with those sorts of conversations.

Honestly, it doesn't appear that you know what feminism is actually about. Going back to my original statement: "I find people in general are incredibly misinformed when it comes to feminism.

I think telling people they don't know what real feminism is turns into a pretty convenient way to dismiss anyone who disagrees with you. It's certainly lazy. How about we agree to avoid such tactics? This is the sort of thing you see on reddit, can you be better than reddit?
