I’m gonna be super real as a gay trans man, the idea that people (especially those like me) MUST center women at all times, in their lives and identity and attraction and oppression, is not feminist and dare I say it’s not even progressive.

#when did pop feminism turn from ‘we literally just want women to be equal to men’#into the cartoonish man-hating woman supremacy people used to strawman feminism as being #there was a time when we all knew that was ridiculous and not a feasible goal and not helpful to anyone #so let’s put that down maybe yeah?#this post was inspired by the fact I feel paranoid about my own private enjoyment of media #because I happen to be gay and a man and therefore shockingly tend to prefer men in media #and I worry constantly that I’m secretly a misogynist for that #because the idea that if you aren’t thinking about women every second of the day then you’re a misogynist #has seeped into my brain #and I hate that #I hate that I can’t enjoy my identity and my main object of attraction in private #without feeling scared
