Multiple side comments that have much to do with the article in their own way:
If we don't talk about it, does it mean it won't matter anymore or that it'll just get worse? I guess the problem is that one side will talk, so the other has to as well.
The other day my brother stated that feminism was only for women. That bothered me, it bothered me because feminism to me is opening doors for everyone and helping the underdog. To him though, it meant shutting men up so that women could talk; not so two people could have a conversation. I guess it depends on who you ask, it's only a word so it could mean different things to different people.
Sometimes people advice others to be who they are and not care what other people think. Those people must not understand the hardship of not 'fitting in'. You scarcely have friends due to the crowd being afraid of you or being afraid of what will happen if they are seen with you.
The words written by Ms. Zoe Beaty, "break down masculinity and femininity for what they are -- meaningless, disempowering social constructs, which are holding us all back," are rather empowering. How odd it is that things are connected to a specific gender.
