Do you think feminism got a bad name due to misandrists calling themselves feminists? (Page 2)

Question

My opinion is that many of the so called feminists nowadays are actually misandrists and they use feminism to justify their behaviour. Feminism was originally about empowering women, not about hating on men. If it is actually about empowering women by hating on men then shouldn't it be called misandrism?

chrisbigman · Answer

Yeah, I think so. I'm all for giving equal opportunities to women, but not at the expense of hate against men (or women).

Especially after Brett Kavanaugh case, the feminists showed their true face: they are just the outlaw angry mob

DoctorSex · Answer

The second wave of feminism that took off to the latter end of the 70's really dealt a blow to the feminism movement.

WitchsLove · Answer

I think that is exactly why. Shame that feminism is getting a bad reputation and being misconceived by people, due to some rotten apples.

xTom98 · Answer

I think its definetly one of the reasons 😂 there's a bit more to why feminism has a bad name nowadays.

stevenjohnson · Answer

Very good incite and most of them are they like that. You only have to see UK parliament and see the feminazis in there, there is strong proof on this site and i think it is even worse in countries like France and Canada.

AmeerX · Answer

Yes it is like that. Point is most feminist or misandrism are out of touch with reality. Like in my country feminist literally believe they are only free. Every other woman not suppoting of feminism is slave to man and oppressed which is not true

Guyana90 · Answer

My opinion is that the whole notion of feminism is stupid. I don’t believe men and women are equal. I’m a traditionalist. Men have different abilities and women have different abilities.

SaintRaghu · Answer

I don’t give a fuck about politics, I just live! I like to live, that’s all there is to it. Fuck feminism, fuck MGTOW, fuck incels and fuck femcels, what a soar bunch of losers.

Daniel3035 · Answer

If you think that we decided feminism is horrible based on the personality of a person who so happens to be a feminist they my god I don’t know what to say.

TallAnon · Answer

Yeah, I agree. I am all for women feeling the best they can and us all having equal right by law. I'm not for feminism and complaing about bullshit like menspreading.

BeHappy1985 · Answer

I'm just here to make this question disappear... Evanesco!

Smegskull · Answer

Yes. All the true feminists who kept up to date call themselves egalitarian now.

All political movements are eventually corrupted if they gain any power though (illuminati=first atheists, Free Masons=first union) so it's no surprise.

AgentDearestZ · Answer

Yes, because they want equality of rights, but not equal responsibility. That's why you don't see feminist trying to give equal rights to men or something small as just bringing attention to the male equivalent of the #metoo movement.

Anonymous · Answer

Yup, femi-nazis are misandrists and female supremacists, they are obviously not feminists, they are just falsely using the name of feminist movement, and giving it a bad name.

SirRexington · Answer

Yes. There used to be a difference between feminist and feminazi but nowadays they appear to be one and the same.

Anonymous · Answer

I agree!!! “Extremists” are not feminists at all and merely hate men. I am a feminist because I believe in my rights, not because I wish men would disappear or die.

I agree. Women are getting ridiculous in how they deal with men, as if pouring bleach on a man who is man spreading is equality.

motownplayer2000 · Answer

Yes, completely... they are called extremist... or radical. Like in everything that’s a movement or belief. There are people that take it way to far.

UncleJessieRabbit · Answer

Yes, and you also have young men who have grown bitter to women these days rising up as MGTOWs or whatever. That's the result.

Piteka5 · Answer

Pretty much what you said, if you look at feminism back in the day it was really badass, nowadays they don't use much in the way of arguments (not everyone) and just force their opinions

You are just another denier who tries to separate feminism and misandry in an attempt to dismiss the role feminism plays in the spreading of hate for an entire gender.

Jonny317 · Answer

Feminism got a bad name because men uncomfortable with women's equality got louder and "took control of the narrative." Hence why we need feminism.

Anonymous · Answer

Yes, and the male misogynists don't do men any favors either. Women are empowered already. They make more than men all the way until age 40 in the USA. Plus, women can lie about and provoke men with almost total impunity.

Hugemoth · Answer

No. They're just hitting their heads at a wall and it's stupid.

Anonymous · Answer

I'd consider myself a feminist in that I think women should be equal with men. But I hate those feminist that won't the word man removed from things like man kind and extreme things like that.
