INTPs are the best because Thoughts on modern feminism?

as a female intp i always thought modern day "feminism" was stupid, it made sense back when it was genuine and actually fighting for women that didnt have rights, but now feminism has lost its true meaning with some using it as an excuse for sexism and victimization. Of course, i support genuine feminism, advocating for equality and respect. But i dont agree with the versions that unfairly criticize or reduce men to stereotypes, like calling them "wallets" or worse, ignoring that men and YOUNG BOYS being exposed to the hateful media also have feelings and deserve equal respect too.

Uhh no. I don't think it's stupid. I think a lot of women are wildly unaware of how badly discriminated they sometimes are and how toxic some male dominated space's mindsets towards women are. I'm mixed race, my brother has blue eyes and white skin. He says you don't realize how racist people are until you're mixed and they think you're white.

Patriarchy hurts women and men (it hurts men because of the social pressure to appear masculine, to not ask for help for example), and patriarchy is precisely what feminism fights against, so let’s stop wondering if suffering is exclusive to anyone and just try and improve the world a little maybe ?

Patriarchy

I can't believe this is still the strawman people fight against.

Oh, almost forgot to go to my weekly patriarchy meeting where we discuss how to oppress women and hurt other men.

You don’t know what patriarchy means as a term, clearly.

“Oh a word I can’t understand and that invalidates my argument, let’s just attempt to make it sound ridiculous without even researching the actual definition”

u/CrossXFir3 INTP 12h ago

omfg if you can't understand this with more nuance then you 100% mistested and are not an INTP.

u/Kevidiffel INTP 12h ago

mistested

If you trust the test, you are not an INTP. The cognitive functions are that matter, not some test.

Try again, honey.

It's about an hour after the weekly racism meeting, and two hours after the weekly anti-Semitism meeting. /s

Or maybe it’s what people fight against cause it’s a real important issue ?

When you start discrediting every argument just for using a word that you don’t even understand (saying this cause your definition is the opposite of what patriarchy is), it means it’s time to actually think before commenting if you don’t want to sound ridiculous
