What I Wish People Knew About Feminism (Page 4)

[ashtraymouth]

i feel like being because topics on equality have recently been focused of the female side of thing a lost of people don't understand feminism is about BOTH genders.

[FakeName123]

Feminism has NEVER been about both genders. It's already in the name. It was a manipulative trick to get the male population to support the movement.

All you have to do is read what actual, powerful and influental feminists had to say. None of them care about men at all. Not now, not in the 60s, not during the Suffragettes

[ashtraymouth]

@FakeName123 yes but now a lot of people are saying "oh it's about both men and women coming together as equals" blah blah blah. and i get that it's a good thing but it gets too extreme sometimes

[BaronVonLongwype]

How's does claiming that something is something it is not make it any different? Lying about what something is makes it so? Feminism is not about how men and their influence oppress men and how men are to blame for everything because someone says so?

[psychoticallyawkward]

That's what I was trying to get across. Also not all feminists are the same. It's a shame that some feminists say things and act in ways that give it a bad name.

[psychoticallyawkward]

Previous opinion was for @ashtraymouth

[l33tboot3r]

I rather we work toward and more egalitarian society more so than anything. Right now we are working backward. Third-wave feminism is demeaning to the very name of equality. That's the type of feminism we are seeing today.

Bla bla go away, no one cares about feminist mumbo-jumbo.

Honest to God, it's hurting women more than it is helping women

[OfDeath]

It is true thaten are told to man up and not be sensitive etc and that such isn't exactly kind but the world isn't kind.

In order to succeed and overcome hardship, one needs to be hard.

[UnaKaizen]

you can't overcome something you can't acknowledge. being strong requires emotional intelligence understanding of yourself and others. so you can deal in reality instead of being delusional. otherwise you're a ticking time bomb.

[matchrestore]

I agree with a lot of your assessment of why we still need feminism. I consider myself a feminist and I find myself have to dispel the same myths far too often.

[nonumbersinmyname]

I believe in a relationship that when a task/goal has to be done it has to be done by the person that available at the time. If the laundry has to be done and you're the one at home that day, take that shit to the laundry mat, and so forth. makes sense to me.

[AdmiralBailey]

Feminism is STRAIGHT UP MAN HATE. GET THAT THROUGH YOUR HEAD AND QUIT THE BULLSHIT.

[psychoticallyawkward]

Some feminists are like what you said above. I am NOT. With so much history and controversy and various kinds of feminism it is hard to define it in a way that everyone agrees with.

[AdmiralBailey]

Women will never get it. I give up

[monkeynutts]

You probably should have broken your argument down into several different questions, possibly feminism should stop using these words like patriarchy, because most of the men on these sites are everyday working class citizens, the idea we dominate or control women is absurd. We barely have control over our own existence. Let alone orchestrate a bizarre conspiracy to oppress any people. Your source material should be studied in the context of ethics and the individuals who have perpetrated any injustices against a women, not all men.

[effyourfeelings]

Lol these basement dwellers are never going to get it, they already made up their minds
Good mytake though

[Browneye57]

Eww boy, what a crock.
Feminism is ALL about hating men. The feminist goal is to reign power over men. Period.

[savalisk]

You want me to apologize for being a guy and liking the things I like? Yeah, nah thanks.
I couldn't take this seriously.

[Coconut_Man]

Gender is not a social construct and I don't believe in the Patriarchy. That's all make up by feminist in order to validate their "movement " .

[Pauliho]

I decided to read and actually take notice of this take...

But as soon as I read"Gender is a social construct" I couldn't take this seriously at all.

[Astoriana]

I loved both of the Representation Project documentaries. I cried watching the Mask You Live In.

[Anonymous]

Extremist males can only go around GaG spamming downvotes and shitposts to ensure their delusional supremacy, cause they fail at being good people in real life, frustration is your worst bitch.
Downvote me if you feel offended, let it flow 😏

[castratedwhiteguy]

It was a pleasure down-voting your sorry ass!

I'll respect feminism the moment the renounce radicals, the false concept of "rape culture", and realise that catcalling is no more offensive then a stranger saying "fuck you" on the street.

[Anonymous]

The take is really interesting, in fact it attracted more than 45 opinions from males, thanks for your attention 😄

[Storm_Soldier2377]

"Feminism isn't about hating men"

[themon09]

i don't like that even when you're not being openly confrontational you're essentially saying the problem with men is that they're not like women
