I’m not a “WTF” but I am a very hard left leaning feminist. I don’t have son, but I did think I was going to. I do believe patriarchy is wrong, but that doesn’t mean men are bad. Men are victims of patriarchy and sexism too. Patriarchy says that men aren’t allowed emotions except anger and list. It tells men to push down their feelings. It also assumes they aren’t as capable of being loving and nurturing parents as mothers, and defaults custody to women. It also violently claims men can’t be victims of rape, or domestic abuse from women, which is not true at all. It very much pushes men into tight little boxes. It also objectifies them as providers only capable of having love if they are finally secure.

That’s not men’s fault, we are all born into this system, none of us chose it.
Being against patriarchy doesn’t mean we are against men, I think men benefit a lot from feminism when it’s done right.


So, when I was pregnant and considering I might have a son, I wanted to raise him to be emotionally secure with a strong sense of self. I knew I would have loved him no different than my daughter.

I’m also a white person who identities as anti racist. I read lots of articles on racism, and I don’t take it personally or as an attack on me as a white person. I can be anti racist and white.
I don’t see it a lot, but I do think there exist very mean women who want to shame men. Recently in an article I commented about my experience with my girlfriend, another person assumed I was a man because I was with a woman, and pretty much chewed me out on my ignorance of what women go through. But actually, I am a woman. It was weird, and awfully judgmental of her. I imagine men experience a lot of that. Maybe that woman is a WTF that you speak of.
