The oppressed can't be the oppresor - why feminists accept sexism in their spaces


In any feminist space you will find misandry, quickly and easily.

Whenever feminists are asked about the sexism in their spaces, or movement, they generally reply by disputing that misandry exists, minimising it's effects or with whatboutism stating that male misogyny effects women far worse.

The huge problem with this is that feminism has already accepted sexism at it's core. It sees sexism everywhere and because of this has now accepted sexism.Misandric comments, ideas, man hating are all absolutely rife in feminist spaces.

Claiming that misandry is fine because the oppressed can never be the oppressor is not borne out by history which tells us a very, very different story. Oppressed people, who accept prejudice to their oppresor have a strong tradition of repeating their oppression in an even worse way. If you look at the actions of Israel in Palestine then you can see, very clearly, how an oppressed people (the Jews in World War 2) really are very, very capable of being an even worse oppressor.


Palestine, Gaza, has been absolutely flattened, destroyed and the Israelis are very much engaged in genocide. Any anti Israeli calls are labeled as antisemetic, branded along with the far right and dismissed. In this way the oppressed very much becomes the oppressor.

Israel is only one example, it's a modern, contemporary example but we can see it happen time and time again. From Stalin's Russia where the working class proliteriat were liberated from the bourgoise oppressor's capitalist system. 


The result ? Detention camps set up and the death of around 20 million people under Stalin

The killing fields of Cambodia has a similar story. The Khmer Rouge, the opressed peasants, overthrew their oppressors and ended up with between 1.5Million and 2.5Million dead, or 25% of the population. These are extreme examples, I grant you. However anybody who is buying the "oppressed can't be oppressor" narative really needs to check their history books.
Looking at modern feminism you can see how these muderous regimes came about. Feminism is 100% OK with accepting misandry in it's female spaces. Bigoted, prejudiced sexism is fine and accepted. We can see feminist spaces questioning what a woman is and becoming transphobic.In this way their prejudice is spreading not just to the oppressor but to other groups too.

In the USA women only villages were set up, known as Womyn's land. Just as the Khmer Rouge leader Pol Pot, Stalin and Jews in Gaza the feminist villages practised discrimination refusing entry to people of colour or working class people and definitely men were not welcome.

It seems once you are on that conveyer belt, once you accept being prejudiced, the end destination can be extremely ugly and unintended. This is why it's essential, for Feminism to find its direction again, to return to its noble core, it needs to start tackling its own bigoted, sexist misandry. I don't have much hope of that happening as history shows us that’s not how things usually turn out. If anything the feminist movement is more likely to become even more extreme in its doctrine. The transphobia, so ubiquitous in feminist spaces, is most probably the shape of things to come.
