I just had a conversation with one of my male friends. I was telling him about our class. He proceeded to say how he “would kill himself if he was in a feminist class”. After getting into a heated argument… this was his counter. “What do you expect. Men have been in power for hundreds of years. They’re not just going to give away their power.”
I don’t even know where to begin. Unfortunately folks, sexism is still very relevant, and there are plenty of ignorant people in the world.
I had a similar encounter with a male friend, I told him I was in a women in film class and now he calls it lesbians in film. As we talked about in the very beginning of the semester, people still associate feminism with lesbianism…
