I still can't get my mind around why people hate feminism so much. To be anti feminist is to be anti woman, really. I mean, feminism is against the rape, violence and degradation of women... how can you be against those things unless you are FOR them?
@DanceswithUtube To be feminist is to be anti society. To have a decent society people need to be against rape, violence, and degradation of BOTH men and women. Not a society where women are getting special treatment in their ivory towers for doing nothing. While men are suffering and people say they deserve it or that it just doesn't matter at all when men suffer because men have it so easy.
In its most basic form, it's that no human being has any more inherent value or worth than any other. Men aren't intrinsically worth more than women (and vice versa).
alot of girls from "girls gone wild" for example do it willingly, so i wonder if what you preach is what is the best for all or the best in your opinion?i dont agree with the over the top views of yourself,
and yet i dont like alot of the male rights group.
But what i can say is your both fighting against a non existent thing.one thing id like to say though is, you hate being harrased on the street for having boobs? how about men like me being harrased 4looks
no one hates u for being a man ...and should women not talk about how they feel? its true its more prevalent that women are talked to badly on the street - i think women should definitely talk about this if it hurts them - this is what makes them stronger - so why is this a bother?
The 1960's version of feminism, has changed to this "neo feminist" claiming to be fighting for the equality of the sexes, while completely disregarding the gender biased issues that are effecting men today. She is if anything, creating a larger division between the gender, by accepting the usage of stats, that also segregate by gender. This is no different than 2 racists debating with stats to say one colour of human is worse than the other. Feminism should be called humanism.
and I find that the description you have of women applies to many men I know. Some -people- have a tenancy to do those things, some don't. To say that ALL women do it is incredibly unfair and ignorant. Or else I think you need to meet more women.
ha!! As a Man I simply CAN'T take any of this seriously. An acknowledged fact among men is that women say whatever necessary to "Get Their point across with Men".
This means that you contradict yourselves, you're self-absorbed hypocrites, and YOU LIE.
I think men are presured to have sex too. Do women get horny? I'm sure they do. I can tell you that I dated a feminist once and I did not find it attractive at all. She was constantly telling me that women deserve equality? If she wanted equality how come she never purchased dinner while we were out. How come she never opened the door for me? I believe if someone replaced you all's brains with a squirel's no one would know the difference.
If YOU have gotten past all of the things that keep YOU from feeling sexy, then why do YOU have a problem with how others define their sexuality? Wishy washy blah blah hypocrisy. This woman is an attention slut whore! How about those adjectives and nouns, Jessica? Do YOU have a problem with words and how I am supposed to speak them also? Oh and please don't call me a mysogynist, I don't hate women, but people like you I am not particularly fond of.
Unfortunately, we do have to get a new term for feminism. Sad that I went through the whole struggle along with many other women (a continuing one from suffergate movement). Yet we have not women who are sexually degrading - as men instead of being strong, confident and able to take care of themselves, so they can become a wonderful person in society or a wonderful partner in a marriage. Why would we want to go backwards. We went through having to "dress down to be taken seriously as well.
3. Women's studies courses promote the lie that 1 in 4 women will be raped, knowing full well the criteria used to reach that figure is ridiculous. Under the criteria used 1 in 6 men will be raped at some time in their life! Feminism convinces young women they are oppressed and that men are basically abusive by nature. All you do is create more young women angry at and blaming men for everything. How about the fact 80% of the homeless are men and the male suicide rate is shocking?
Objectifying women? boo hoo. I don't see any guns to the head of these women in Girls Gone Wild. Sort your own sex out. Gossip rags? Why are these women focused upon? It's NOT FUCKING MEN that are buying all the magazines containing bullshit articles about Hilton and Lohan.
Any feminist that wants to deny the ways that males are discriminated against, too, can take a hike. Most 'feminists" are fucking biased. Men are at fault for everything, women are victims in everything. Girl power? What gender is always making everything a GENDER ISSUE?
"Label themselves" feminist? Why? To make it a GENDER ISSUE?
IF you want to ditch the image, start a new movement with a new name.
The word Feminist will never be disassociated with the petty, SEXIST, obnoxious, rhetorical, topic skewers that gave it the shitty reputation it deserves.
You don't get told to "quiet down" because it's "unlady like". It's because whiney nags are fucking annoying. It's called tact, feminist.
Well said. Feminism has gone way too out of control for there to be a cure for it.
I had a girlfriend who started going to these "women's empowerment" meetings and changed for the worse, no longer seeing herself in a team with me. She started being too loud in public and also too nasty in taking care of herself. Well, I dumped her within two weeks. She was amazed, asking "What did I do wrong?"

Serious question here; could someone explain to me what feminism is? I truly don't know what the core philosophy is today.
Capt777harris 2 years ago 3
it's a very scattered ideology.
which tends to makes things difficult...
You'd have to pick up a few textbooks but obviously the main objective is for women to be treated equally - socially, politically, economically.

Ha ha too funny. Men die younger than women. This should be a big deal since feminists claim to want in equality between the sexes.
They simply do not care. I asked a young feminist about this, and she said she didn't care about "old men"
The claim they want equality is a complete and total lie.
