Introducing Your No Feminist®, A New Handwritten Typeface by @sareytales
“How’s the feminism movement going these days?”, he asked. Pithy, innocent little opener relating to an interest listed in my dating profile, or an invitation to be red-pilled by this feisty free-thinker?
There was just something about the way the message read to me that set my senses on high alert. I’m still not entirely sure what his agenda or motivation was, bc he skedaddled outta there pretty quickly after I didn’t take the bait, but his messages did make me think a little.
Why did this man feel it necessary to (in)validate my commitment to feminism (or anything, really)? Why do many men so often assume that their thoughts, beliefs and desires are more valid than others, especially women?
