Being the only boy within a feminst group?

[yisraelcasen06]

My teacher (high school) forced me to join a dance group where I am the only boy there, as some kind of lame punishment because I told something sexist (according to them) to the girls in the school. But all the girls there, including the instructor are all hardcore feminist and seems to hate boys for that reason! In the last class, being a beginnner, I stepped feet of some of the girls by accident (they all wearing shoes). And one of the girls suggested that I should be doing the dance barefoot! They all laughed and the instructor agreed to that so they made me take off my shoes and socks immediately! At the end of the class they even suggested that I must be barefoot in every class! I hated being in this situation, am I making this a big deal? And can you give me some ideas on how can I stood up against them?

I am a feminist and I don't know why a lot of guys also don't like feminists. I think not all the feminist act as they hate the entire guy in this world. Well, I'm sorry for you because they treated you like that. Personally, as a feminist what they did to you is wrong, I don't stand them. When I say I hate all boys/men that's means I hate boys/men that don't respect us, do something like r*pe (sexual assault), catcalling, abusive. "I hate ALL boys/men" just a metaphor (really) but you guys always angry when girls say it. That's why we always say, "if you mad, she/he talking about you". Cuz if you guys don't feel like doing something disrespectful, we are not talking about you and you're not one of " ALL boys/men"

You still don't understand why we hate feminist after what they done to me? You being sorry doesn't change anything please help me how would I stop them doing those things to me as you're one of them!

You want me to tell them to stop? This is ridiculous. I don't know you, I don't know them and you tell me to stop them? Why don't you tell your teacher about it or your mom?

[yisraelcasen06]

No I don't want you to tell them anything, I want you to give me advices on how do I stand up against them in this situation!

Tell your parents or your teacher about it, what did you say to them that makes you being punished? What that kind of something sexist?

[yisraelcasen06]

The teacher already hate me, telling my parents would only make it worse for me as first they'll question why I'm being punished. I just told them how girls must be "barefoot and pregnant" all the time...

[Opinion Owner]

Be honest and tell me more specific about everything you said

[yisraelcasen06]

That's the only thing specific I remember about saying, so it's not so wrong to say right?

[Opinion Owner]

If your teacher that older than you think it's wrong then you deserve to be punished. Better if you ask your teacher what is wrong with that words. The moral of the story: think first before talking.

[yisraelcasen06]

Of course my teacher is older than me. Thanks for the lesson. But does it justify them making me take off my shoes and socks in the class?

[Opinion Owner]

Well, consider it as a punishment from the girls

[yisraelcasen06]

So you say I deserved it and must go barefoot in every class as they command?

[Opinion Owner]

Now you know what is wrong with your words? How does it feel to be barefoot? Tell your teacher that what you said is wrong and you won't say something like that again. Tell your teacher that you know how it feels to be barefoot and that's why you shouldn't make girls barefoot

[yisraelcasen06]

It's really humiliating. But the excuse they use to make me go barefoot was that I was stepping on some girls' feet (unintentionally) so maybe most of them don't even know about what I said so wouldn't it make it much worse for me if they didn't even know about it?

[Opinion Owner]

You wanna still be torture or not? If you don't want it, say to your teacher what I said, probably they will stop punished you

[yisraelcasen06]

Are you sure there's no other way? I really don't want to confess what I said while being barefoot it's so humiliating:(

The next class is close so can you please answer soon?
