So it seems to me that you’re pivoting away from “but why don’t they help men” argument to fussing about the way they name themselves
Just to point out I’ve only commented once in the thread above, I’m not the same person you were originally replying to.
Are you asking feminists to stop helping men or something?
No, of course not. I’m just pointing out how the name of the movement ‘feminism’ is gender coded, which is ironic considering your earlier statement about not gender coding solutions and stuff

Whoops, my bad. That does fundamentally change the nature of your comment, I apologize. My criticism was off base.
My broader point is that I am fully aware of the fact that many feminist organizations intentionally and strategically attack problems that affect men motivated out of a bigger picture issue that primarily affects women. And that many feminist people and organizations choose to take on multiple issues, only some of which might be considered feminist causes. But as a whole, I think it’s unfair to insinuate that feminists (either individuals or organized into organizations) don’t care to devote resources to helping men. And that’s the main thrust of what I’m getting at.
Fair enough. I don’t disagree with any of what you’ve said, I just think they’d save themselves and everybody else a lot of pain if the name of the movement was more gender neutral.
