Why are both concepts met with the same mockery?
[/quote]Spiteful mockery?
Because all concepts are met with spiteful mockery. It’s a part of our human condition, for better or worse. What we all have to decide is if we’ll allow inevitable mockery to disrupt our lives and aspirations or progress forward despite the naysayers.
I think we also have to watch out for being locked into perpetual, over-the-top angst against good-natured ribbing as well. I know I can be guilty of that especially after chatting with some right-wingers after a while. It can get me jumpy and defensive.
It seems like you’ve got it under control for the most part and you’re passing on very good qualities to your kids. You should be very proud of yourself.
As far as panels being made for men, I don’t think it’s necessary to ask for the author to do that. If someone else wants to make some, go for it.
It reminds me of criticism of Noam Chomsky. People jump on his shit for critiquing the United States and incessantly ask for him to also create articles that champion the USA. I think his response is if that’s what’s you’re looking for, there’s already a vast, corporate media apparatus for that. It’s pretty well-covered already.
If you feel there’s a dearth of empowering drawings for male feminists, I would suggest using your kids as inspiration and sharing some text here. If you only want to come up with the text, I’ll find/create some graphics for it too if you’d like. It sounds like a fun project.
