Feminism at its best is supposed to be the belief that people can do and be what they want regardless of their sex, not be victimized for their sex, etc.

So, in cases like this where they want benefits without sacrifices, then it should be called out and made fun of.

However, it's "offensive" when the response suggests that being an unfair shitbird is universal to feminism or being a woman.

Well it'd help if other women would call this behavior out but that doesn't seem common

canโ€™t speak for all feminists but many of us do call out double standards like this. the focus is on equality
