@loveforlovesake Feminism claims to support equality but only promotes female interests. Radical feminists are the KKK of the feminist movement. They are female supremacists! In no way does this free men. Trolls are twisted people who should be viewed that way. It should not be an excuse to tar all men as enemies of women. I think appropriate backlash is to criticise the ideas, but then I'm not a troll;)

@dalriada842 yeah I'd agree with that. Sorry gals but feminism has gone from being something that most men were supportive of to being something that most men now see as a BAD THING.

It used to be about equality but now it's nothing of the sort.

@dalriada842 @dalriada842 Feminism is supposed to be about gender equality, that also frees men. When it does not include gender equality, then it's way off the mark. Then it deserves to be criticized. Be specific. What do you mean by feminism?

The trolls. My point was about the comments that deride people. Few wrote about criticizing ideas. What is appropriate backlash to you? Sorry, trolls do add fuel to the fire. With no fuel, this movement (IMHO esp the radical part) will die out naturally.

@loveforlovesake Trolls will always exist. They attack whoever's convenient at the time. You shouldn't confuse them with the backlash from men after decades of denigration from feminists. Feminism deserves to be pilloried for the damage it has wrought to Western society.

feminism is usually promoted by unfulfilled women,,,, a woman is the best thing that ever happened to a man,it,s a shame a few can,t understand that it is also the best thing that could happen to a woman, love not division,

See, this is why we have the problems we do, hatred towards each other. What's with all the harshness? Instead of bashing one another, why not pray for one another?
