After I posted, I thought about it a bit more and came back to the same issue I have with all these insta-nobodies. He's going on about female empowerment (before making it about himself), and alluding to the women supporting women mantra that is soooooo abused. These movements and phrases are meant to be empowering and meaningful, but this lot just undermine it all. Instead of thinking about what any of it means and how to action it, it's just a catchphrase to them trotted out when they want some likes, want to play victim or are being held accountable and don't like it.
I support my female friends and family members in almost everything they do...I'll call them out if I think they are wrong as I don't think mindless agreement helps in a lot of situations. I'll do all that I can to help my female colleagues to make sure we are all achieving what we want and need from our careers. I'll do all that I can to advocate for patients who are often dismissed because of sexism in medicine and it's impact on diagnosis and care, as well as doing what I can to be sure they are safe in their own homes, etc. I do as much as is reasonably possible to support small businesses, especially female-owned ones, avoiding Amazon and the tat shops as much as I can. I genuinely don't know why anyone should think IWD is about 'women supporting women' regardless of how people behave. Sorry but that is going back to a mindset of women should just be quiet and mindlessly support because we are being told to...and in this case, by a man!
But as mentioned before, here's a man expecting women to worship the ground he walks on because he thinks they should, calling those who don't out on IWD! So he's not about supporting women or an ally at all or it wouldn't come with the strings attached and only applied to those licking his arse when he needs some Internet validation.
