bluetrafficlight reblogged your post:Just saw the word “brominist” in a feminist...
If more people support a good cause why the fuck does it matter?
Because if you have to call yourself a brominist, you are outwardly showing your misunderstanding of the cause you claim you are for. A major part of dismantling patriarchy is not giving gender stereotypes power, and when a male feminist has to call themselves a brominist they are saying "I feel uncomfortable labelling myself with a word that sounds innately feminine." And the only reason to feel uncomfortable with that is because you're worried you don't sound masculine enough.
tl;dr: It matters because calling yourself a brominist means you're actively misrepresenting feminism.
