I’ve recently relabeled myself as a “humanist.” Originally, I was a pretty strong supporter of feminism, and I do still support the move towards women’s rights. However, I have also gotten into the men’s rights movement. I don’t think it’s fair to call myself a feminist, because that focuses on just the female side of things. Men have problems that they face, too. I think that it is fair to say that there are both good men and bad women out there, and vice versa. Instead of focussing on just one side of things, I think we should be focussing on gender equality as a whole, drawing from both the male and the female side. If you focus on just one side of things, you miss the larger picture. To be a true revolutionary, and to bring about change, I think you need to be flexible. You need to be able to comfortably situate yourself on both sides of the debate and relate to both. Only then can you really understand the issue. This of course is my opinion, but if you look to the people of history who have brought about change, they seemed to be able to do this, to be flexible and call out both sides of the problem. So, to everyone who only focuses on the things that affect them:
