      you know what else is pointlessly gendered? the patriarchy

      feminist messaging has to be gendered because the patriarchy is a gender issue.

      that said, feminism is for everybody. liberating women from oppressive structures by nature does the same for men.

        If it’s not gendered and is for everybody, that isn’t that just the original statement? That safety is for everybody? That seems rather circular.

        But I think I get what you’re saying. We focus on lifting up women, and everyone benefits.
