I disavow the ignorance displayed in the statement that “Feminists always think women are better than men.” But felt important to share how well received such a message is received on this site.

I'd love for someone who down voted this to explain their position..

I agree, but wouldn't hold my breath lol

Though I don't doubt at least a couple have already commented elsewhere on this thread, and are trying to hide their anti-feminism (aka misogyny) behind the thin veil of pretending it excludes them, and that we must refocus thousands of years of feminist struggle on to them and call it "egalitarianism" otherwise they have no reason to join our fight for equality (which they conveniently ignore means equality for everyone, which is why they need to make up excuses to reject it, because, going back to the meme I posted and why they downvote it - they don't want equality, they want to hold on to superiority at all costs, and their fragile egos don't like having that mirror held up to them).

(edit to add: and even if we give in and centre them and do call it egalitarianism, they won't actually want to fight with us to bring down the patriarchy, they'll just keep shifting the goalposts to make it more and more about freeing their poor souls from the imaginary oppression of feminism) .
