Interview with GirlWritesWhat

The Men's Movement and the Continued Search for Equality -- An Interview with GirlWritesWhat


The androsphere is divided on the question of patriarchy - some just want "equality" (in conjunction with the acceptance of looser sexual mores) while others are advocating the restoration of patriarchy.

She gives some background as to why she doesn't support feminist theory, and she talks a little bit about the inequality in the legal system in the treatment of men (domestic violence, divorce).

She supports social, economic, and political equality for women. But she is against feminist theory [opposing 'patriarchy']: male privilege, female gender oppression, rape culture. She doesn't think it has benefited women but hurt them and how they view themselves in relation to the world.

Most of the interview is a discussion of parenting, victimhood and empowerment, the consequences of divorce and children being raised by single moms. Towards the end they return to the topic of agency and viewing one's self as a victim.
