A growing network of online communities known collectively as the “manosphere” is emerging as a serious threat to gender equality, as toxic digital spaces increasingly influence real-world attitudes, behaviours, and policies, the UN agency dedicated to ending gender discrimination has warned.

    Sure Finland’s female-led coalition party is not feminists according to YOU<br> https://www.bbc.com/news/stories-55020994

    So pro-left they are & yet so pro-war, TERFs are a thing too & guess what ? The feminists do not oppose the draft. (Finland has a male-only draft & wants to join NATO which totally a defensive alliance)

      “2Sure Finland’s female-led coalition party is not feminists according to YOU<br> https://www.bbc.com/news/stories-55020994

      If you see feminism as every time there are women in government, why do you oppose feminism?

      “So pro-left they are & yet so pro-war”

      They’re a right-wing austerity government but I’ll bite, which war are you talking about?

      “TERFs are a thing too”

      Sure, I never said all feminists are left-wing. There are reactionary strands of feminism (if we accept that they are indeed feminists) such TERFs for example. My point is that feminism is not a monolith and the bulk of it is left-wing.

      “The feminists do not oppose the draft.”

      Correction: A country right next to an expansionist dictatorship does not oppose the draft. I’ll probably get shouted at buy when you are right next to a country like Russia, the draft is a necessary evil.

      “(Finland has a male-only draft & wants to join NATO which totally a defensive alliance)”

      Perhaps the draft should be extended to women. In any case, irrelevant to your “point” about feminism.
