Why our gender system sucks for men too →
alexds1: I get very annoyed at the social justice folks on Tumblr, despite strongly agreeing with the ideas behind the various movements, because a lot of the “justice” done here is really no more than finger-pointing and blaming and shaming. The article does a good job of addressing the overarching issues behind gender/ other equality movements and how it is impossible for them to exist in a...
