How is it like being a son of a Feminist mom?

My mom was a passionate feminist when I was younger. She divorced my dad when I was 4 and he died in a car crash when I was 6. I know he cheated on her but I think he was a good man other than that from what I know.

Mom married my stepdad (he's really my dad for all intents and purposes) when I was 12 and she pretty much wasn't a feminist anymore after that. I think my stepdad put an end to that nonsense, and I'm so grateful for that.

I was probably not the easiest son to parent during my teens but looking back my stepdad did a great job even though I kind of resented him at the time. We get along great now though.

Mom did pretty good too, at least after she was married. She really sucked before that. I mean I know if was difficult for her as a single parent but she approached everything the wrong way. She tried to raise me as a feminist girl essentially, which has fucked me up in some ways. I hate to think how bad it would have been without my stepdad.

Define feminist.

I mean maybe my mother is one. Since she ran away from home when she was 16 because of abuse. Got her GED, went to college, educated herself, started her own business and now owns her home in Vegas and is retired.

The definition of feminist at GaG is strangely undefined.

@Lyndsielee666. That wasn't the question.

@KrakenAttackin my children are being raised by me and my best friend who are indeed feminists and they’re both happy as can be so technically I answered bud

@Lyndsielee666. The question is about being the Son of a feminist. Of course you have launched your Daughters into feminism and by doing so guaranteed they will be miserable.

Has anyone, ever, met a happy feminist?

[KrakenAttackin]

@Lyndsielee666. So your husband is a feminist?

[Lyndsielee666]

@KrakenAttackin they aren’t miserable 😘 nice try though

[KrakenAttackin]

@Lyndsielee666. Oh honey, I grew up surrounded by feminist and they are the most miserable people to walk the earth.

My conservative brother would say it's more than enough to have me as sister

Thankfully I was raised by a normal (non-feminist) mother and a good father, but I had two friends growing up who were raised by single feminist mothers (different families). When I was younger I knew there was something wrong but I wasn't mature enough to understand it, but looking back on it now it's pretty obvious. I feel so sorry for both of them. I don't think they will ever have a chance of being normal or happy, or having any worthwhile relationships with women.

Currently? Or as a kid? As a kid it was pretty nice. My mom isn't that great but her feminist values are some of her good ones.

Well you're probably better prepared for women's shenanigans as you've been molded by them your entire life. It's probably unpleasant. But as they "That which does not kill you only makes you stronger".

I don't know but I feel sorry for those boys.

I had a quite beautiful childhood, thanks for asking.

I survived a feminist mom, and feminist mothers should be outlawed.
