Asexuality is not some exceptionally rare, impossible thing.  Even using the common 1% estimate (which many people think is low), that’s 3.2 million Americans.  If you met someone who said “Hey, I’m from Chicago”, you wouldn’t tell them that you didn’t believe them, because people from Chicago are only about 1% of the population.  “You’re really from New York or California.  Statistically, that’s far more likely.“  That would be ridiculous.

A thought about feminism vs equality.

ladydrace:

A talk with a friend recently about the label of feminism got me thinking.

“What’s so wrong with calling yourself an equalist/egalitarian instead of feminist?”

And I think I got it.

Science literally shows us that men’s idea of equal generally isn’t equal at all. 

Like Dale Spender’s studies showing that men feel they talk 50% of the time in gender mixed groups when it’s actually more like 83% of the time. 

Or the Ipsus survey, showing that two thirds of men around the world feel we already have full equality, while less than half of women do.

(Not adding links, because if tumblr’s latest external link crap, ugh.)

But the bottom line here is, if you say you belive in equality but that you’re not a feminist, there’s no way for women to know if you actually believe in equality, or if you believe in equality from the skewed view of privileged men. 

Basically, we don’t know if by “equality” you mean “women don’t have problems and should shut up.”

If you say you’re a feminist, we can at the very least assume you realize that women are currently getting the short end of the stick.

Sounds bad.

I cannot imagine a more smug and aggravating man than a person who makes a children’s movie with a message of “fuck you, children.”

Those little leather skull caps… oh, you mean the ones that got people killed? “Yeah, let’s reminisce on when toxic masculinity killed us, the good old days before those entitled millenials wanted to live rather than die over a pig balloon.”
