How to feminism

When I think of modern feminism, I’m reminded of a friend who was very disorganized and not concerned about his many addictions (we all have them).

Whenever the topic of feminism would arise, he would make sure to align himself with the feminist view under the rationale that morality is naturally ingrained in the idea, possibly by virtue of the words used.

The last time I hung out with him, I was at his home and he had some friends over.. a couple of aussies and one kind of ugly asian girl.

His friends jokingly and incessantly entertained themselves by making lewd comments about her, and inviting her to acknowledge their comments, all illustrating the fact that they have been enjoying many sexual liberties with her.

She seemed embarassed but unable to really muster up enough motivation or dignity to state anything which might give them pause, or demand greater respect.

So she just sort of smiled and chuckled awkwardly and kept her gaze close to her navel.

My “friend” also giggled along idiotically with their antics, pretending to be oblivious to all the implications.

He knows that he lives in a racist society where social justice is needed to liberate people from oppression, and he’s doing his part.

His behaviour suggests that the integrity of the process isn’t so important as the net sum of support for the good side vs the bad side, which will become apparent in the future when the good side wins.

Reality is the future, of course, and not the present. Isn’t it so?

I’ve not seen him since.

Progress.
