  1. One of the big things I talk about over on my Tumblr is the fact that feminism is for men too, and that in fact many men are oppressed based on the fact that they are men and how their manhood intersects with their other identities.

    For example, the way a trans man is oppressed is due both to the fact that he is trans AND the fact that he is a man.

    Race, religion, socioeconomic status, disability, body size... many identities intersect with manhood to form unique forms of oppression.

    In all of these cases you cannot separate these people's manhood from their oppression; the ways they are oppressed are inherently linked to their gender. If you try to remove their gender from the equation, you are going to miss many of the ways they are mistreated and marginalized. You are going to do them a disservice.
