    Yeah, I ground all of my criticisms of mainstream bourgeoisie feminism within feminist theory, but that is very confusing to the majority of cishet men, who because of having been fed hundreds of hours of propaganda, have absolutely zero idea what actual feminism even is, looks like or sounds like. I honestly feel like an asshole sometimes for even criticizing it, but a consumerist non-liberatory feminist position doesn’t actually help anybody dismantle patriarchy so idk what to do.

    Yeah, men are always projecting their hatred of women into other men all the time.

      As a very intersectional enby, I’m always critical of bourgeois liberal feminism for obvious reasons. It’s so shortsighted, unhelpful, and has no coherent sense of theory that will truly liberate all who suffer under patriarchy. I make a lot of criticisms of “liberal feminism” that will turn heads and get people to think that I’m some kind of conservative or TERF, but the way I see it, I actually make such criticisms mainly because I’m extremely far from being either a conservative or a TERF.
