1. Splitting the bill is a turn off to many women because it's in male instincts to show his value and resources. 2. You are being judged by looks believe it or not. Humans are visual animals just like all animals. 3. (chivalrous acts) I agree aren't needed but again male instincts drive men to over protecting and providing. 4. flowers and chocolate (Showing value by doing this but it isn't need) 5. You are NOT hot or rare in women's eyes. 6. Feminists deny instincts and human nature thus making relationships feel like work or walking on egg shells. 7. Burden of war will always fall on men. 8. It's in female nature to complain. Not all women do this but theory states that cave women complained so men would get shit done.
Many if not all things we do is connect to instincts. When interacting with other people many things we do is very similar to animals.
First of all, it's possible to be a feminist and still want to receive flowers and stuff, we just get you gifts too. Also another thing, the FBI definition of abuse for the majority of history was when a man abused a woman and it was feminist who fought to change that definition. If it weren't for them, women could rape and beat men and it wouldn't be considered abuse because women would still be considered "too weak" to do those things.
"women could rape and beat men and it wouldn't be considered abuse because women would still be considered "too weak" to do those things."
Actually that is the way is has become in Canada, thank's to feminist. So you are really really wrong.
In Canada a man can "rape" a woman if he has consensual sex with her while she is under the influence of alcohol. A woman however, can't become a rapist having consensual sex with a man under the influence of alcohol.
Feminists changed the legal definition of abuse. The reason some people don't take male abuse seriously is because of patriarchal bullshit, not because of feminism. In fact, feminism has only helped the issue because we empower women. By making it clear that women are equal to men and are not always weaker, we show that it's possible for women to be the abusers. You are very misguided about feminism, please educate yourself. Do not put rape in quotation marks because the definition of rape is when a person did not or cannot consent to sex. Someone who is inebriated cannot consent to sex for a reason, just like a minor cannot. The fact that these cases of rape against men is exactly why both genders still need feminism. Because women are viewed as lesser, they are always viewed as the victim. By empowering women be show that women are capable of overpowering men sometimes by abusing them. It saddens me how misguided everyone is about feminism.
To some extent I agree but I also agree with @piubelloamante a chivalrous, traditional man can also be a great partner and not all of them are close minded. A man can be traditional but believe in equal rights too
Well not all women frown at chivalry. @piubelloamante I don't know I think its less common these days but I'd choose a chivalrous traditional man any day :) and no problem
Yeah... but that doesn't change the fact that you are awesome and beautiful! @ArabianPwincess197 you and Genie are awesome Although i agree we would make a good match :)
Your whole point of being on GAG is trolling, you've already made that obvious.
This is the best troll post I've seen in a long time though. It's too bad you told everyone you were trolling on all of your previous "Opinions" and questions.
You still haven't actually given an argument as to how feminism benefits males.
Feminism does not benefit males in any way. It hasn't done anything for men at all. It supposedly eliminates "toxic masculinity", yet does nothing to stop the blatant sexism in our legal system, nor does it care about male victims of rape or domestic abuse at all.
Lol Anita sarkessian and the "white males and mass shootings comment" honestly I wouldn't mind if she made some maniac mad and was assassinated. /edginess
Feminist believe in the equality of both sexes. And honestly, all of the true feminist I know raise awareness for men, too. Anyone who doesn't isn't a true feminist, so don't bring us real feminist down with the people who claim to be feminist, but don't know the true meaning of feminism. Don't bash feminism, bash the women who claim to be for the movement.
@FriedChickeneisha oh yeah sure, feminists believe in equality for both men and women. But when do you actually see them pursuing men's issues? Why don't you name a few things feminists have actually done for men?
Stop hiding behind the "No true scotsman" fallacy.
According to a study I heard recently that men are happier when women gains more equality while women becomes crankier as less and less men become eligible for them because of their new founded status.
In certain cities, you can get as much as 1.7 women per 1 man and that's in US.
All these recent feminism threads, they wouldn't happen be up for the benefit of Hilary Clintons Presidential efforts would they? Ah the ulterior motives of so called virtuous and morally sound movements.
Look if you truly want equallity just look around and simply allow yourself to acknowledge that most people work pretty hard (or want to) and contribute to society and as such they deserve respect.
The idea that a feminist won't take a man to the proverbial cleaners in a divorce proceeding is pure naive delusion. Feminists' sense of fair play only extends to their own gender.
Women already have equal rights. Feminism isn't about equal rights, though, it's about the advancement of women at the expense of men.
That's a very skewed way to consider it. Equal rights for women does come at the expense of men, but only because men have been profiting from that inequality forever and still do. Of course one can't come without the other, but it doesn't change that it's the right moral direction to take. Equal rights for black Americans came at the great expense of white people, but that didn't make it bad or wrong. White people do fine without slaves, and men will do fine without an unequal power relationship with women.
@diarrhea Name a right women recently acquired that they lacked before feminism that doesn't pertain to voting since the common man couldn't vote either until conscription.
@Nuqood You're thinking about it in terms of the law which is technical and pointless. Instead of equal rights I'll say that women aren't considered or treated in equal ways. They're overly sexualized and objectified (to the point where harassment, abuse or rape is a likely occurrence), they're not paid as much, they're not taken seriously, considered weak and overly emotional, etc. And that's in a developed country like the US. In other countries they really do have much lesser rights, and feminism is a global effort to end that as well. I'm far from an expert on the subject, but these things are really easy to recognize if you're not shutting them out.
@diarrhea so your biggest concern with inequality is how men want to fuck them (despite women objectifying men both sexually and materialistically)? Wanting to be fucked isn't a bad thing; More men are reported as victims of rape per year than women, the wage gap is a myth and is the fault of the individual, women are more emotional (do you not interact with women or summat?) and the average woman IS a lot harder to take seriously, especially in fields such as firefighting/army where most women's experience doesn't go past university/college before barking orders at people.
I'm not shutting out anything that is factual; I understand third world countries' need for human rights activists, but women in the US and other developed nations crying about their 'oppression' are nothing but professional umbrage taking dictators who are trying to force their PC opinions onto everyone.
I likes everything except for the last pic. I have a lot of respect for stay at home moms and house wife's. But I get it was satire. But anyway I agree with basically everything in this article. I don't really want to be viewed as the woman in a relationship but just a partner.
The large amount of single mothers is a direct result of feminism. Feminism hasn't made anybody a "Hot and Rare" commodity, the opposite in fact, as it tends to trivialize strangers. Females soldiers still rarely see combat. Feminist are not less likely to be goldiggers. They will still seek a financially equal or superior partner, and marriages that don't follow this have less success ok average. you are still expected to pay for the majority of things (speaking from experience on this one)
A child needs a mother an a father figure to develop healthily. With so many single mothers, boys don't have a template to follow in the household and look to others with traditionally masculine traits. This causes boys to look up to criminals and those in the media for masculine guidance, which create more children that dehumanize each other.
You're smoking dope, dude. Feminists don't practice dictionary definition feminism and haven't for decades. Stop using that tired, incorrect, invalid, outdated, overrated argument. It convinces no one.
"but the definition of Nazism is betterment of germany through political and social change. If you think Nazis are all a bunch of jew haters then you don't know the definition of being a Nazi"
The one thing this "take" got right was the picture of the feminazi (cartoon) as that is the norm for what modern feminists tend to look like (substitute strange hair dye jobs fairly often).
Most feminists organisations are totalitarians, a band of fascism. It's the inescapable result of the ideological basis of the supposed patriarchy
The good news is, most people, even most of those who claim to be feminists are actually both humanists and egalitarians, mostly it's the organised feminism that is the totalitarian kind.
Oh dear ;D Feminism has become such a controversial word. But remember the brave womens in the past who fought for our rights we have today as females ;)
And men. Feminism has become a controversial word because time and time again, feminists commit acts of violence and extremist behavior. However they aren't told by the feminist community "cut the shit, you're making us look bad", they aren't condemned nor chastised which in itself is acceptance of the behavior and many people think that is just as bad as committing it yourself.

Very few woman frown at chivalry, sometimes chivalry can be over done
Thanks Princess 😍😄😍

@piubelloamante :o my poor genie would be upset! Lol but thankyou
@Asker - @piubelloamante is already married to my best friend on GAG lol

The Nazi version is becoming more and more prevalent today. I don't see how it benefits men to see women as land mines that could blow up any second.
