It's a turn off, and I'll tell you why. To clear things up, I don't have anything against women's rights. The problem begins when a large portion of feminists use it to conduct societal brainwashing. A few things I read about here -
"Feminism is the belief that men and women are equal"
Going by the google definition never really helps. Also, women don't agree with you. They're abandoning it in the millions. Why? Because they know that it's not what it was once. Less than 1 in 5 women in the USA identify as feminists, though over 90% believe in gender equality. In the UK, 8% of women identify as feminists, but over 85% believe in equality of the genders. If they both meant the same, then people would have given the pollsters the same answers to both questions. Facts and numbers don't lie.
One thing we can agree on is that feminazis are not the best thing that happened to the world.
And if you look at it, past oppression doesn't justify present retributive vengeance (I know. However, your retributive vengeance takes place in the form of privilege). If it was, The Africans would have killed off all White people. On those lines, past oppressions doesn't mean present privilege and overuse of power.
you really want equality, you say?
Here are a few things you can do.
- women should pay alimony as well
- women should be drafted into the military at wartime
- there should be men's nights at bars, clubs, pubs, whatnot
- men should have an equal decision in the fate of their children
- more women should work in hazardous positions of manual labor. There are very less of them there. Where are you on that, feminists?
- create scholarships and affirmative action for male students as well. Equality, right?
- men's only hours at the gym
- men don't pay the bill on the first date, but split it (equality, right?)
- women should get equally severe sentences for cases of rape, paedophilia
- standards for women to join the armed/police forces shouldn't be lowered (because equality. Same standards for everyone)
And finally
- men should have the freedom to remove all our clothes in public and not be arrested for public indecency.
- ban all women's magazines with pictures of men in them. You can't itemize and objectify men like that.
If we men are so incapable of equality, bring it to us. We will be very grateful.
I'm open to questions.

Huge turn off. I would never date a man hater. Not just that, she's putting the women in my family at danger, and my future daughter/s too. Feminism is the worst nowadays.

My god. These answers by some of these males on here are disgusting... tbh. You don't think women should have equal rights as men? The actual definition of feminism talks about equality between the genders.
Feminists who say women are better than men are not wonderful at all, including those who bring down men & categorize all of them as perverted/disgusting/etc.
In short for me it's not a turn off it's something I at least look for in a guy, to believe that women should have equal opportunities in this world and rights, and for women to not be seen as sexual objects in the media.
Men... in short... women do not exist to please you.
For me a man NOT being a feminist is a huge turn-off. He is brainwashed by social media and does not understand the difference between misandry and feminism. Just like how ISIS and Islam are not the same, ISIS does terrorism in name of Islam. Rational feminists spread feminazi/misandry in name of feminism.
I have a tip for you, coming from a socialist state and socialist culture. say that you are an egalitarianist. that is what feminism is, but by saying it like that you avoid any confusion with TERFs and bigoted people who ruin the image of feminism.
Of course. Men strongly dislike the idea of feminism even though it means that women deserve to be equal to men. Who cares though? Why change your beliefs to get a guy interested in you?

1. Bitter “feminists”
These hapless women are barely even feminists. These sad individuals have only just jumped on the feminist wagon so that they can blame men for their own miserable (single) lives to feel better about themselves. These women are usually obese, ugly, and have terrible attitudes which prevents them from finding a male partner that will cure them of their man-hating. They’re essentially the female version of the MGTOW.
Counter: Ignore them and let them drown in their own misery.
2. Fat-acceptance feminists
They’re fat, they’re ugly, they’re disgusting, and they know it. They also know that they can’t compete with women who are thinner and more attractive (not to mention being tormented with envy), so they must distort what it means to be beuatiful and healthy so that they can at least safe-guard their petty self-esteem.
Counter: Never let being a fat pile of lard become the new normal. Mock them while encouraging healthy lifestyle.
3. Rabid feminists
These are the mentally unstable radical feminists. They’re the most aggressive, violent, and repulsive of the feminists listed here. If any men behaved the same way as these degenerates, they’d be locked up and the media circus would have a field day reporting on a violent misogynist group that had gone wild. (You can also tell that the “moderate” feminists implicitly support them by the way they keep quiet like the cowards they are).
Counter: You should avoid these human garbage completely. As tough as they pretend to be, as soon as a finger is laid on them or if someone says something mean, they’ll immediately act like a helpless little girl to play the victim. The best thing to do is to use them to taint the feminist movement in the eyes of those who are neutral.
4. “Moderate” feminists
Believe it or not, most feminists are not blue-haired orangutans that screech at your face. We just get that impression because it’s the freaks that make all noise. I’ve actually met quite a number of pleasant (and feminine) women who called themselves feminists. I get the impression that these women only decided to associate with the movement because they bought into the all the lies of feminism without ever hearing any counter-arguments. If you approach them calmly and explain things in facts without getting emotional, many will actually listen to you.
How we deal with the moderates will determine how many of them will see the truth and convert or at least distance themselves from the feminism label. ...“woman needs a man, like a fish needs a bicycle”
A relationship is a partnership. Partners needs to bring value to a relationship.
Better question is why would you be pursuing a feminist as a man? as a man, what would i or you be able to offer a feminist? Other than possibly convenience.
Remember the sayings “men are disposable” and “men are cannon fodder. Google them and you’ll get plenty of articles on our disposability, written by feminists. Why would you want to date someone who thinks an entire gender is disposable? Its like saying i want to date the good “nazis”. (Cue: Im not like that and all feminists aren’t like that here)
meh ill pass. Give me a traditional woman, capable of a partnership, that needs me as much as i need her, loves my masculinity, and imperfections and much as i love her imperfections and her femininity.
i say why fight the feminists. They want to do it on their own, i say let them. Life is short. Dont waste your time or swipe.Here's the main problem I have with feminism. Men and women are not equal. Both genders have attributes that make them better at certain things. Which is a fact you cannot actually dispute. The whole idea of feminism is only disgusting when it's basis of the person's beliefs are not founded in reality. When someone can truly make themselves believe the two genders are equal is a huge turn off as they cannot look at facts. This is not to say that I support discrimination against women it's just men are better at certain things and vice versa. I believe all/most women in the western world are inherently feminist even if they don't identify as such. And it's the same with most men you will find there are outliers to this in both genders and it's those from the male gender who see women below them give men a bad reputation. In my life I have met mabye 2 or 3 people who I speak to who truly think of women as objects for them to manipulate. If feminism didn't have the vocal minority it does it would be taken much more seriously by the rest of the world and not viewed as a festering ground for the extremes of the movement to become even more set in their views, going even to the point of viewing men as they perceive men view women. This ideal system is by far the major turn off for any man. Why be with someone who views you as dirt and labels you a rapist because of your gender. What some women fail to realise is women in some ways have more rights than men. A women has rights over her child that men will never be able to have simply because they are only the father. It is more difficult for a man to win a custody battle over his children and it is only in the extreme circumstances that they do.
Someone who believes in equality is what we should all strive for. It's the way some feminists act, it is more like how say, the KKK and Black Panthers were. Both were spouting a better way of life for their culture, but in a negative manner that really was more of a destructive nature than a benefit to society. Feminism is turning into this. It's becoming a detriment to the view of women and also is starting to deter what feminism is supposed to be about, and that is EQUALITY. So I think, the term feminism should be changed to egalitarian or you should use that term more, so as not to be included into the how cancerous feminism has become or is becoming.
a male feminist is basically a male dominated by controlling women that don't care about him or others.
if anyone says there a feminist. I Loose respect for them. it shows they're easily controlled and brain washed. have short tunnel vision, and don't see the bigger picture.I would say yes and no.
Yes to the feminists who fight for "social rights" of women are be complete idiots, more than likely will never be done.
No to the feminists who fight for legal rights are deserving of what they fight for, and have every right for what they fight for.That depends on the type. of feminist. The type that believes in women having autonomy, including thought and lifestyle, the type that doesn't go through life looking for ways that everything is a slight against them, and the sort that understands men also have problems created by gender roles and the sort, they're great. I don't think I could be with somebody not like that. The kind you find on Tumblr that are just horrible? They actually kind of scare me.
Yes, it's a HUGE turn-off. Feminism is not about "equality" it is about driving a wedge between the 2 genders, and destroying gender-roles and the nuclear-family. The reason that men do not like feminists is because they're always delusional, mentally-unstable, misandrist freaks.
Modern feminists are a big turn off for me. They don't care about equality they want more rights than men. They crap on men all the time and play the victim.
That's why feminist is a turnoff they claim they want equal rights, but that's not what they're really after.Definite turn off.
I'm all for equal rights, pay, opportunities, so forth.
But I've dated women who were die-hard feminists, self admitted or not, and they were the most miserable people I have ever been around. Constantly angry and bitter.
I've had my fill of that.Feminist is a derived word from female and female are thought to be weak and should be rely on male. Being called feminist can hurt men's pride.
Huge turn off and I'm a girl. I would never date a feminist guy ever.
Huge turn off. I wouldn't date a feminist. I'd surely fuck one just to wake them up into reality though.
I'm a feminist, so not all of us are scared. The problem is a lot of people have misconceptions about what feminists are. They take the extreme fringe members and paint them as the majority. When in reality most feminists hate people like that, due to the negative image they give the group.
To quote former President Obama, "are we really gonna use the dictionary definition on this? Lol."
The textbook definition doesn't take into account how people act and what they actually mean when they use the word. It's believing in women's rights a turn off? No, absolutely not. Is the more vocal, in your face, male-hating version a turn off? Yes, just as much as the "women should be barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen, making me a sammich" type of men are.
''it just means someone who thinks men and women are equal''
no, thats an egalitarianist. feminism implies that there is a inequality and women are oppressed. It does not focus on male issues. I do not want to involve myself in someone who make their issues seem bigger than mine and sees me as privileged, objectifying and an oppressor. I'd rather have a decent human being as a partner.I know guys who they themselves are feminists and like women who understand that concept. So yes, it is a turn on. However, rabid misandry pisses everyone off, not just men.
They are not, and there's no big deal. The problem is people feeling over enthusiastic about any topic, doesn't really matter whether it's feminism, politics, football or whatever.
Feminism is an instant and complete deal breaker.
