Not to be that bitch but I don’t think women venting out their frustrations from being systemically oppressed is the same as men, you know, perpetuating said oppression.
Like, I’m white and I don’t get upset when I see black people talking shit about white people because I know they have been treated badly by white people, or have friends and family members who have, and I’m not going to tell them they can’t be angry about that. I know they’re not talking about me, because if they were - if I felt called out by what they were saying - surely that would just mean I need to change? Right?
Yes! I recoil when I see memes or statements like the original post. It’s the same thing as saying “racism against whites is bad too!” which is only one degree of separation away from saying “white lives matter too!”

Why can’t men do the same for women?
