What I’m saying is, I think both of these views are entirely reasonable, but that it’s incompatible to truly hold both of them simultaneously:

  • It’s okay for feminist organizations to focus on women to the detriment of men, but not to focus on men to the detriment of women
  • Feminism is a movement focused on correcting gender issues of all kinds, not just women’s issues

I recognize that people don’t tend to hold both of these views simultaneously, but it’s not like it never happens. Regardless, to me it seems like this is a rather important distinction between two popular types of feminism.
