What are feminism’s key asks to address systemic misogyny?
For the last few months, I’ve been entangled in an ongoing online conversation with various conservatives. Basically pointing out the hypocrisy of conservative men who claim to oppose trans athletes because they care about unfairness and danger to women, while they do absolutely nothing to challenge far greater unfairness and dangers to women posed by cis men every day.
Every single day I get new commenters replying to me. Few of them are in good faith, but I try to diligently argue the case. A few of the commenters do see where I’m coming from, and ask rhetorically “okay, well what’s the solution then?” I try and reply with a few suggestions like teaching boys to respect women, voting for feminist causes, and to stop consuming sexist content.
But I felt like these suggestions were a bit vague, and I kinda came up with them on the spot, and I wasn’t 100% sure about what I was saying. If I was talking about something like socio-economics, I’d have a much more confident idea of actions and policies, but I wasn’t so confident about feminist solutions.
Are there any established, core things which the feminist movement is demanding of society, and men in particular that would have predictable beneficial outcomes? Almost like a top 5 feminist missions, that could really benefit in getting the message across to guys who are at least engaging in conversation and asking these questions.
