Folks, feminism doesn't actually have anything to do with men. I'm seeing way too many comments about man-hating feminists and I think that's both highly mistaken and also kind of a humorously narrow view of the issue. Feminism is about uplifting women, first and foremost. That many women have experienced harassment, abuse or other forms of poor treatment by men in their lives means that many feminists are vocal about things that men do because no one else is talking about them. Catcalling is a real easy example because I would never have heard about it if hadn't seen so many women talking about their exoeriences. Feminists care about a lot of issues and many of those are relevent to men. Issues like incarceration of men of color, the lack of rights for lgbt men, harassment of Muslim men for worship. And let me add that there are feminists in many, if not all parts of the world. So any country which treats women porrly has women who also recognize that treatment is unfair and are doing whatever they can to advocate for themselves.
