#Not All Men

I have read "too many" posts on this thread from women saying to the effect, if you are a man and .....bla bla bla then you are part of the problem. WTF? Most children can identify right from wrong. You don't even need to exhibit much intelligence to type some pseudo-feminist babble that is little more than pedantic rationalization for blaming men. And we all need to face some difficult truths.

I'm not going to assume or read into any of your meaning about "too many men" or whatever. I feel that your motivation is absolutely on the right track, but I won't be using any of that language in my life because I don't see it as a good thing at all. One more label, one more point of division. And....I've never seen nor heard any man say they "don't want to be dominant" except in the bedroom. If there is some twisted and deeply misdirected interpretation of feminism that includes men not being men or men changing into some weaker form of being then I can't participate.

Feminism requires deep critical thinking.

A word about this creating space thing? No. Nope. Not going to happen. You can't simultaneously bitch about men then ask them into a safe space so they can tell us they don't want to be dominant or that they are sorry. At least not until we start valuing them and loving them differently. Didn't we find the safe spaces in colleges thing a critical thinking failure? Men are not trying to escape from their role in the patriarchy at all. They are trying to navigate a world in which they way they are valued and loved is now becoming a liability for them.
