honestly it's all shitly shit. people making all these categories to put eachother in. I'll date any girl, if she doesn't like me I won't feel bad about myself because of it. I'll just look for a better match.
Good philosophy. I don't love labels either. But if the question was "would you date someone who believes in equal rights for men and women" the answers would have been different. Feminism has a political connotation to it.
Feminism is a natural reaction, it will only grow, women want equality. After a while you will have no choice but to date a feminist. It's just that so many feminists are repressed snowflakes. I think that the only thing that can save humanity is compassion. I would rather date a compassionate person.
you need to take out all of these notions out of mind kid, just think all as human and things will not be soo complicated. p. s : each and every person is unique
I would rather ask someone what they actually believe in, instead of what they call themselves or what others call them and judge them based on that instead. It's not possible for me to get to know someone based on a single word/label.
Yeah fair enough. Though this question seems to contradict it I'm not a big fan of labels either. But since the article was called "why I would not date a feminist" I used the same term.
Oh ok, I see. It just feels like people on here love to throw around labels and stereotypes when it would just make so much more sense to just get to know someone. You never know what you might like lol
Depends on the person, and what they believe... that said i don't really care for feminists as a whole; they tend to be hypocritical or halfassed in their beliefs. You can have equality, or you can have chivalry, but you can't have both.
I would, maybe she will appreciate the time spent with men and feel more confident and comfortable to accept the male gender as it is. Afterall, there have to be efforts for results to show.
@Brah63926 Usually (from what I've heard) feminists won't go down on a man unless he reciprocates. Some feminists believe in orgasm equality which isn't a huge issue either.
@Brah63926 There is this article where the guy advises this girl not go down on her boyfriend because he won't even touch her sexually, but when I looked up "why I won't go down on men" most of the results were about men not going down on women.
Also depends on what you mean by "dating." Cause friends with benefits falls under dating in my eyes.
Like what you said, I think the optimal woman to marry believes in equal rights for both genders. I think most people want equality for all.
But marriage is a HUGE deal. And with divorce rates skyrocketing and courts vastly ruling in favor of the woman. It's difficult to take the risk of losing your partner, losing your home, and losing your children because your partner jumped deep into feminism and became hostile towards you and men in general.
My girlfriend retweets the occasional feminist post, but doesn't consider herself a feminist and thinks this current wave of feminism is not necessary and only driving men and women further apart. I plan on marrying her once we graduate.
it's definitely case by case. I don't think there is anything wrong with dating a feminist, where I would draw the line is whether the conversations on it were actually debates, or if I'm having an idea being forced down my throat.
Fair point. If they cannot tolerate debate, probably not going to be a good relationship. Fortunately you can usually tell if somebody has that trait by how they respond to other things. If they say "I like this movie" and you say "I don't" and they say "YOU'RE A SEXIST PIG"... yeah, no.

I wouldn't date an idiot, or someone who believes lies.
Otherwise she can take whatever political stance she wants. Long as she's not a fucking moron.
per your update, so the admins thought it'd be nice to add their own shit onto your content and did it without asking you right?
they fucking did that for my shit too. so annoying

My boyfriend is a feminist and im a republican and all i do is smile and say you're right and dont bother with trying to say anything
That sounds like an awful relationship. What happens if you do say something?
It doesn't come up often and I find it amusing

Very true, a sentiment I tried to express in my question.
I know :) wasn't speaking to you directly, just in general, you seem to get it lol
Depends on the person, and what they believe... that said i don't really care for feminists as a whole; they tend to be hypocritical or halfassed in their beliefs. You can have equality, or you can have chivalry, but you can't have both.
No I wouldn't. I'd get her a cat, She's going to need them.
lmbo
I married one in 1971 and we're very happy together.
I would, maybe she will appreciate the time spent with men and feel more confident and comfortable to accept the male gender as it is. Afterall, there have to be efforts for results to show.
I would date a male feminist. I'm not gay, so, I wouldn't go after a lady feminist.
Fair enough? Would you date a male who wasn't a feminist?
If he didn't want to use the label, yea, that'd be fine. If he was really vocal about feminist bashing, I don't think I'd like him very much.
No. I don't agree with any of the positions they hold so the relationship would be a horrible series of arguments. No interest in that whatsoever.
You could talk about things that have nothing to do with feminism.
None of the feminists I've met really seem to have any interests besides feminism.
Definitely. I'm a feminist, and if the guy or girl I date is a feminist too, then that's all the better
Girls are attracted to men not women
*Ahem* I am BISEXUAL
Most girls are straight
Not me!
Roberto Esquivel Cabrera, 54, from Saltillo, Mexico, has a penis measuring a huge 18.9 inches.
Dicks are not dicks. But pussy is pussy.
It's still just a dick
And women are seen as objects for us men.
I know. That's why I'm a feminist.
I'm a feminist. One of those sane ones haha.
My fiance thinks I'm delightful.
That's good, sounds like a happy, healthy relationship.
Feminists refuse blow jobs yet expect a guy to go down on them funny where's the equality in that?
@Brah63926 Usually (from what I've heard) feminists won't go down on a man unless he reciprocates. Some feminists believe in orgasm equality which isn't a huge issue either.

Date: Yes
Marry: No
But all in all, Its exactly what you said last, a case-by-case basis.
You would date someone you already know you aren't going to marry?
It was a general rule of thumb.
Also depends on what you mean by "dating." Cause friends with benefits falls under dating in my eyes.
Like what you said, I think the optimal woman to marry believes in equal rights for both genders. I think most people want equality for all.

Sounds like a plan. I see where you're coming from. I would be concerned if I was dating a woman getting sucked into the whole feminism movement.
it depends, there's a lot of crazy bitches saying they're feminists, and they only think about female rights, not equal rights
No. Feminism is a movement against men. And besides, I never met a normal feminist in my life. So no. Feminism should be destroyed completely.
Been there, done that
lots of bonuses
but takes a lot of patience when the soap box comes out too long
it's definitely case by case. I don't think there is anything wrong with dating a feminist, where I would draw the line is whether the conversations on it were actually debates, or if I'm having an idea being forced down my throat.
