Feminism is driven primarily by, and meant primarily for, women. Men (and nonbinary people) can occasionally benefit from it, but they don’t commonly have a say in the way it develops.

Antisexism encompasses all people, and everyone has an equal voice as long as it calls for equality. It makes no sense to break it down to smaller units if everyone’s on the same page in that no one should be discriminated against. Men can be on the watch for cases of discrimination against women, and vice versa.

MRA (as in patriarchal men calling for male dominance and against feminism) are not welcome here. Coming from the men’s perspective, MRA may occasionally raise very real issues of men, which can cause the intersection of topics between them and the community; the problem is, many if not most of the MRA folks don’t want equality and also think of patriarchy as the magic pill to solve their issues, issues that are often caused by it in the first place.

You can look into men’s issues from the men’s perspective without encroaching on women’s rights in any way, shape or form, and this is one part of the multidirectional message the community tries to send.

The false dichotomy of “feminism or patriarchy” commonly leaves the opinions and unique struggles of non-patriarchal men out of the picture, and nonbinary people are straight up invisible in this conversation.
