is the man or bear thing rhetorically or optically the perfect feminist meme that is beyond criticism? no.
but is it leaps and bounds better at getting men to understand the material consequences of patriarchy on the physical and emotional health of women than that stupid “kill all men” meme from last decade? definitely.
If I said ‘I would rather drink poison than go into work today’ would you calle ridiculous and do I even know how bad poisoning would hurt or even kill me?
Or would you understand that I was just voicing my dissatisfaction with having to go into work?
