asked:
what is your stance of the whole "male feminist" vs "feminist ally" debate (i.e are men allowed to identify as feminists, or only as feminist allies)? also how does this relate to trans people (i.e can transmen still be feminists despite being men, or are they exempt because they used to be women. vice versa for transwomen: "is now a woman so can be a feminist now" vs. has previous experience as a man, so can't)? haha, sorry for asking but i can't find a clear answer to this anywhere online, ty!
i am pretty sure anyone who, um, is a feminist is free to identify as a feminist
only problem with dudes is when they try to talk over women about feminism and then demonize women for calling them out on it and hurting their poor tender ally feelings
this is called a “mantrum” and it is a symptom of advanced testeria
