Fantastic MyTake, of course feminism is not evil, but there are some extremes in any group or movement in the world.
Not sure if all of them are deliberately evil; but the ones that I've had to deal with on DeviantArt sure fit the bill.
It would mean a lot to give women some even power. My mother might have had some money and some I wouldn't be as poor.
How many brilliant ideas have you had? How well did you implement them? How reliable of connections have you had in life? Waiting for handouts is not a very good way to live. It's unreliable, the handout givers are often two-faced, and even if you get a little, you're still gonna always be miserable. But I know how frustrating it is. When you earn wealth, someone's always there to rob you outright or tax you penniless.
Pat Robertson in the poster above verifiably gets the first two of his list spot-on. The latter two are less common. The practicing witchcraft part? That I'm not so sure can be blamed directly on feminism.
what i know from personal experience with feminists about feminists is that they are sexist hateful people
What I know is the opposite. Look at www.girlsaskguys.com/.../a10748-the-sexy-feminist The author is not hateful or nasty or rude. And she is definitely a feminist. Several feminists have written opinions and comments here, and they are angry at the BS directed at them, but still most remaing calm and respectful. Not at all as you try to portray them!
@Red_Arrow
@Ozanne may not be hateful or nasty or rude and still call herself a feminist.
But that doesn't change how the political movement of modern feminism acts and tries to lobby legislators to introduce discriminatory laws. Or how some prominent feminists clearly show hateful, nasty and rude behavior.
So who represents modern feminism, the many women who claims to be feminist but does nothing, or the many political active women who also claims to be feminist but advocates hateful, nasty and rude legislation?
Thank you @Red_Arrow
@oracle12c So, herein lies the problem. I have things I need to do in my life that have nothing to do with feminism. I probably could go out there and do something, proving that normal people can be feminists without causing such a stir, but I'm busy. But now that I think about it, being busy and having feminism be the last thing I talk about with people in my day to day life - who know I'm a feminist - makes the point clear in some passive way that a feminist really isn't that bad. Plenty of women out there are feminists and never wear it like a badge the way some extremists do.
@Ozanne
Sure than kind of feminism is ok, but modern feminism is more a political ideology lobbying legislative changes for putting women in more power positions.
In essence, they wan't discriminatory laws, they claim in order to achieve equality, however what they really want it to put privileged white women in more privileged positions, by discriminating privileged white men.
It really doesn't address the many real women's issues world wide, nor men's issues in the US or EU.
Is it equality to have male conscription but not female? No, but then again nobody cares about equality because it's not really about equality, it's all about power and privileges.
Real women see through all that crap and don't support it. Don't think they're numbers are so huge, they just know how to bark the loudest.
@Ozanne
Yes, but those barking women are a political threat to "feminism", since they causes anti-feminism sentiments in both men and women all around.
Depends. The ones who get offended by opinions that aren't elaborated upon, yes. But those who state their beliefs peaceably, not at all.
Your definition notwithstanding, a lot of people who call themselves "feminist" do not remotely resemble this definition. That is why I use the term "equality feminists" to describe those with whom I have no issue.
Yes it's bad. It gives a false sense of unity. Women compete with each other for jobs, men, etc. I hate women. And I'm a woman. Hear me roar 🐅🦁🦁
women compete bc of feminism?
so why do men compete-- before feminism even existed?
I think you have lived through too much history to be talking that way.. unless you had a very sheltered childhood. or you are not really 33.
@Azara I'm 33 alright and I've seen a lot in my day
before you ask are feminists evil ask yourself is your mother evil?
If you read the Take, you know that the question was an eye catcher for the title, not a belief of mine.
Okay
This is a very old post I suppose. I'm sorry but feminism should be obsolete and it's cancer for the West.
If you are looking for me to agree that women deserve equal pay and rights, I will disappoint you.
* don't deserve *
I don't support feminism. I think a group should pay attention to the needs of everyone. Not just focusing on one group and fixing their own problems. That seems selfish to me and creates a barrier. Egalitarianism is way better.
Typical bloke
At least argue your point instead of making a pointless comment. I rarely hear smart counterpoints. All I hear is you are stupid, or only a guy would think that among other things. Rarely ever do I hear something to prove their point. All they do is attack a person who disagrees
So you believe firemen should investigate murders, gynecologists should perform brain surgery, and janitors should analyze mental patients, because those groups should pay attention to the needs of everyone? No! Firemen focus on fighting fires, while police investigate murders. And so forth. Those people have chosen what they will concentrate on and it is good that they concentrate on that area, not everything at once. that is not selfish, that is putting a concentrated effort to what you can do best.
Feminism os anti-male. You can say otherwise but guys know it.
Guys who are wrong "know it". Please see www.girlsaskguys.com/.../a10748-the-sexy-feminist by @Ozanne
They know it. No matter what spin this site trys to put on it.
Have it your way. I will not argue with someone who does not understand logic.
If feminism was for equality of both then feminists would be looking to fix the preferences that women receive in divorce! But they dont, because they aren't about equality.

As I said, I am not going to argue with someone who does not understand logic, but you are making me rethink my allowing Anonymous opinions where people present bad opinions and hid behind the anonymity.
That's exactly why I didn't allow Anonymous on my myTake. :) I want people to take responsibility for their comments.
@Ozanne - Yes. And I think your Take expressed your feelings much better than I was able to do with mine. Only wish I had been able to communicate as well. Great job!
Thank you sir :)
I have admired many of your posts. I just felt that one really stood out! :-)
Being anon allows for real opinions, not PC puffery. Many on here feel this way, it has been shown in many posts. You just want to attack people when you don't like their opinion.
You are the one attacking feminists. Then if they tell you they are not anti-male, you say they are lying. And being anon allows you to attack others anonymously, which you just proved. And you have shown that it is YOU who likes to attack people when you do not like their thoughts, opinions, etc.
I have a contrary opinion, as do many others. The spectrum of who is a feminist is extremely broad and many of them are very anti-male. The word "feminism" has some very obvious negative connotations and you won't be able to fix that with a mytake. The word is damaged and irrepairable.
Not just guys but many women too, even feminists although they will never admit it.
True genuilinysensitive. Even the author knows it otherwise he would not have asked the Question as "Is Feminism A Bad Thing? Are Feminists Evil?". Hypocritical of him to ask only to shout down those that answer honestly. Even he knows how people feel given the title.
As most people know, questions are posed in titles to draw attention to the topic by raising a question to think about. Sane people would not equate that to me believing it. And I do know how SOME people feel, which is why I chose to write this myTake, to try and educate them about the actual feminist movement, not what has been taken over by extremists. Nothing at all hypocritical about that at all. And I am not shouting down anyone. I am merely responding, which is normal. I think you are aware of that and are intentionally making untrue statements to sway opinion, rather than you really believe those things which or ridiculous.
Are cops irreparable because some cops are bad? Or doctors? Or any group? I think there are many areas that need more equality, and someone trying to right those things would be a feminist. Are you then calling that person, bad?
This is exactly right. I wish more people realized the importance of feminism.
Yeah. Us femimists are evil vessels for satan. We are here to take all o mens rights away and eventually destroy them.
Uh-huh, uh-huh! I see that. lol
We also steal babies. Hide yo kids hide yo wives. 😂😂
"Feminism is for everyone, I can't believe someone would think its biased in anyway!"
*takes sip from Male Tears mug*
A bunch of the leaders of feminism are huge bullies that want more for them no matter what and only their voice gets heard while others truly want equality
Ever noticed the most prominent feminists are the most ugly?
I have no idea how many feminists do not meet your specifications for good looking. But I do know that many prominent feminists forgo makeup and probably are just as good looking as many models without makeup.
Generalize much?
This comment is one of the reasons why feminism is needed. Why do their looks even matter? Women these days are seen as pretty objects to ogle at and little else, and it's sad.
@itsallover True. I hope you realize I was not putting importance on looks, but attempting to explain that feminists are not "different" from other women in that way.
Of course :) I thought your take was great and well written. I was mainly referring to what this anon said, he felt it was fit to judge feminists on their looks rather than what they stand for.
feminism is only good for feminist and women and tramps alike.
Actually feminists will defend men when they are negatively affected by the patriarchy
and then use men as a shield.
The writer illuminated the truth!
Egalitarianism stands for equality for all people
As a man i won't put myself in front of the feminist rifle
And i don't call them "radical feminists" i call them the status quo
-100 points for citing Wikipedia...
You can flunk a college course for doing that.
Not for strictly using it for a definition and citing it. You just flunked.
I don't have a problem with feminists, I do however have problems with the pseudofeminists.
That feel when people block you for posting a counter point to refute them... says all I need to know about feminism.
Got to love it.
