Question

Why do so many men hate feminism?

CodyTarpley97 · Answer

I’m all for equality however, when the idea of equality is based off of ridiculous ideas then I’m not for it. Take manspreading for example. Some women think men sitting with their legs open is the rise of the patriarchy when in all honesty it’s because we have genitals down there that if we sit with our legs closed we are uncomfortable. I’m open to talk about gender wage gap and helping women get jobs that men mostly have but the crazy ideas make me not want to. (My opinion)

NxWxW · Answer

I don't hate feminism, but I typically just say I'm for gender equality. That way I'm supporting feminists who want gender equality, but not feminists who don't want gender equality. Some feminists have said some very awful stuff about men and I'd rather not associate myself with them

MrHopper · Answer

I think a lot of men get caught up in the generalisation... I. e all feminists = all women, so when they see a woman doing something a feminist would be against the brain goes "ahhh contradiction"

Take my post about "do you ask people out or wait" a few women said as they were women it was not up to them. Some Men see this and go "but thats not fair, you can't assume being a woman means you expect men to ask you out, I want girls to ask me out that's not equal..."

leahzrc · Answer

Because the most public feminist movements hate men

asing55 · Answer

It has become a debate around the world whether men and women are equal. We have not tried to understood that they co exist. Men and women are complimentary to each other. Woman in some sense are different in biology than men as well as in terms of emotions. There is an unfortunate history where women were treated badly in past. But we should look in the issue in more broader way. Women shouldnot be in race with men but there strength should find in there own way

Selina_Wayne · Answer

Sometimes even I hate feminism. There are girls who abuse it and have no idea what it really is and only makes it something awkard by others such as leaving armpit hairs

front2back · Answer

It only takes spending a few minutes listening to a modern feminist's platform to realize they care less about equality and more about raising women to some specific societal status that they see fit of. They also talk about wanting "strong" women in society yet create controversy over how men sit in chairs or how a female character is dressed in a video game.

A-man-22 · Answer

If there was a movement that said they were for equality and it was called WLM (white lives matter) , you think people of colour would approve of it?

No, and yet feminists question why men don't approve of the movement.

Feminism is not equality, it only looks at the female side.

That's why egalitarianism is a better idea.
1. The name is much more friendly for everyone
2. For equality, both men's and women's rights need to be worked on.

SomeGuyCalledTom · Answer

Leading question.

I think the better question is "what incentive has feminism given men to support it?"

Personally I think feminism has done a lot of positive things for women's rights and gender equality (although other factors are involved-- society in general is more accommodating to people's needs today than in the past, but I digress..)

Drumlin2001 · Answer

In the uk, a father dosen't have automatic rights to their child. So a mother can basically dictate everything about access and custody on a whim, and even when taken through courts they favour the mother in most cases.
When i see a feminist talking about true equality and how this inequality needs addressing, then i'll believe that feminism isn't just about getting whats best for women. Inequality in all forms needs addressing, not selectively based on what suits

Anpu23 · Answer

Feminism has a long history of stating that they are working towards equality and lobying quietly for laws and regulations that are explicitly anti male. Lying to congress, creating policy that is explicitly unfair and when caught blaming the "patriarchy" for their own misdeeds.

mateynine · Answer

Feminism™ only supports equality when single, fat, broke, & slutty women benefit from it.
Every other demographic is privileged and oppressors.

Under Feminism™ we need to increase taxes on the productive members of society in order to make things "equal"... (while ignoring the fact that triggered Susie is already paying NEGATIVE income taxes when you factor in the cost of welfare benefits she's inevitably consuming.)

Jager66 · Answer

Because Feminism is and always has been a hate movement base don deception. It uses half truths and double speak to push a radical hate agenda. BUT not all Feminists are bad people, plenty are good people who are being lied to, the term for that it "useful Idiots".

That is fact, plenty of evidence to support that claim. People have been making this exact same debate for about 100 years at least now. If you don't know this it's because you have not been looking hard or long enough.

AlexanderBrunnrgaard · Answer

Do you expect to have a real debate on the matter when you present the question in this immature way?

I'm looking for the option which is true, where feminism does not stand for equality and is but a veil for sexism, victimization complex and female entitlement.

ShineDJJ · Answer

The modern twisted version of feminism has nothing to do with equal rights and social standing. It's all about misandry, infantilizing women, authoritarianism, fearmongering, tearing men down instead of building women up, and double standards. Modern day "feminists" have taken a beautiful force for good and corrupted it in sn unbelievably awful manner. These people are making Susan B. Anthony and Betty Friedan turn over in their graves.

kingofthellamas · Answer

Egalitrianism is about equality of the sexes and I think everyone is in favour of that. The confusion creeps is because femanism is often and incorrectly used to mean egalitrianism. (Which if you think about is a bias towards women). Femanism is about promoting women above men which I think most women's and women would be against. So semantics is the answer.

Ad_Quid_Orator · Answer

The anti-SJW rabbit whole. It's a place that distorts reality and corrupts minds turning people into reactionaries.

TonyBologna25 · Answer

Feminist are the worst kind of women lol. We’ve already reached social equality a while ago, and feminist are still pushing agendas that don’t need to be pushed. Their whole attitude is that they don’t need men. They’re just fine without men. And they have this delusion that they need to act masculine in an attempt to be equal. Biologically we will never be the same. They think otherwise. Why would a man want to date a woman like this? Give me one good reason lol.

Riddler1412 · Answer

Because most men confuse feminists with feminazis.
As I see it feminists are for equality between men and women in every aspect of life, while feminazis are for the female over male dominion, and they express a negative attitude towards men. I think that's the reason why some men hate feminism- the confusion of the two types. And some men are just idiots.

Xlink · Answer

Woman are whore who cheat the system and men to get ahead and rape them mentally emotionally and financially.

They use there only value their looks to get ahead they don't want to be equal only above but keep the double standards they like.

They ruin everything their apart of sports, ex lavar ball and that chick , games, anesea sarkeesian and video games , comics,, pop. culture in general

esotericstory · Answer

I dont believe that a single ideology should have a monopoly on women's rights. I respect the right to self determination of men and women. I dont think its necessary that gender quotas exist. Individual men and women dont have to be equal if they dont want to.

LegendarySir · Answer

You go against what's against you. Feminism has done nothing to help men despite claiming to be for equality. It's actually been more of a burden for men, as they portray us as this collective that has no problems in life, disregarding any possible issue we might have. When you struggle like everyone else yet feminists say you're privilege and should pay for it, it's gonna create discomfort towards that movement, and in many cases, hatred.

Flotri66 · Answer

I believe a lot of them are threatened by the information presented to them on the echo chambers they call social media. They only see the worst examples and believe that the large majority is exactly that.

The same way politics works to demonize the "other side".

thedoctormsh · Answer

Non of the vote choices.
We don’t have a problem with feminism and feminists.
I personally support them.
But the problem is in exaggerating things.
They mostly tend to exaggeration and when exaggerated things they thought the facing opposite opinions as problems or they are against them.
Disagreement doesn’t mean it’s against you or your idea.
Thanks

Twerk4Me · Answer

Because they bully and hate men. They think every man who approaches them has some kind of diabolical plot formed in order to get in their pants, so everything you say to them whether it's respectful or disrespectful, you're the scum of the earth. That's why I hate them, and my god there are a ton of them 😭 .

ajjax31 · Answer

See I believe you should, have equal rights in general I treat women as supior because I like it. But I've had women get mad for me holding doors Or complimenting them. Then, there's also women who, want more than equal right they want all the good with none of the bad side. I've yet too hear a women say she's ok with signing up to be drafted into war

Philyouup · Answer

I’d choose OTHER if it was available. People don’t understand feminism, they listen to memes and incel MGTOW blabberish and other far right shite. It’s about having a fair shake. It’s not porn femdom or about about reducing a man’s rights. It’s about a fair shake.

name_is_eric · Answer

Because they're sane.
Feminists hate men and masculinity, so there is no point in supporting it as a male. Absolute none.
Feminism is not equality, egalitarianism is. Feminism is just female priorization.

sawno · Answer

A for me, i dislike feminism because it is the tribalistic ingroup that attempts to destroy the strength / opportunities of men and women in an attempt to make them more equal. And that is not the kind of equality i support.

ManOnFire · Answer

For me, I hate feminism because it's a movement for insecure women, and is mostly full of priveleged white women. It also has a racist history.

scooogy · Answer

I'm sorry, ye majesty, if any of us inferior worthless males have commented on any of your holy godgiven virtues *bows a dozen times*

jeez...

what the hell do you feminists claim to judge in our society? If you really want gender equality, you better call your movement equalism.

MrPleasure · Answer

I support equality.
I do support both men and women.

What I dislike is the sense of superiority over each other.

Guanfei · Answer

Maybe because modern feminism is nothing more than a man hating movement which goal is to spot everything men can enjoy and take it from them?
That feminists spend their time attacking men, making them responsible for everything bad in the world, and want to reduce their freedom to the minimum?

Year3000 · Answer

I think most of the backlash comes from America/Islamic and certain Hispanic cultures. A lot of parents think it would make girls promiscuous because a lot of feminists are sex positive types so they teach their sons that it’s bad. I think a lot of guys are taught by their parents to fear female sexuality I know I was but naturally I saw a bigger world view.

bamesjond0069 · Answer

Well if you dont have morals, can't treat me right and give me a family then you are not worth any romantic interest. Well except to pump and dump.

Feminism tells women to have no morals, treat men like shit, and dont have kids. Its basically ruining relationships by making women worthless.

Yeah i hate it. I want to get married and have a family and be proud of my wife. Looks like an impossible task.

more_than_a_guy · Answer

This 5th wave of feminism is no more about equality, it has began to be radical with men hating. Clearly I am against raping and sexual assult like all people, but for example, men are afraid to start a conversation/flatter and compliment women because apparently everything is offending nowadays and hence chivalry is dying.

YHL6965 · Answer

Even the etymology of the word itself means pro-women. Feminism has never been about equality, it has always been about women's rights. The only equality thing feminism achieved in my eyes is the equal pay act. By the way, the wage gape is a myth for those that don't know.

ChurchOfIron · Answer

It's not just men. Most women don't identify with feminism either. Only 18% of Americans, male and female, identify as feminist. And not many British either.

I was a feminist for most of my life until a woman showed me I shouldn't be.

hakhan1 · Answer

Generally the agenga pursued behind the word 'feminism' is more on the side of misandry than it's on the equal rights movement side. Nevertheless, I don't think that most of us hate it. It seems a little disoriented as of now but I hope it will find the right purpose in the near future

Anonymous · Answer

Because today's feminism does not seek equality, as it claims it does. Today's feminism is sexist, toxic and divisive. It fosters an us-versus-them mentality that has driven a wedge between men and women and created a lot of damage that will take decades to repair, if it can be repaired at all.

JDavid25 · Answer

Well with third or fourth wave feminism.. It seems more like men shaming in a lot of guys eyes.. And a few loud women whinin over some trivial things..

alley_cat · Answer

Because they don't understand it. They believe the objective of the movement is to put women above men, and use every instance of it being represented incorrectly to say "see? It's wrong and stupid"

xyz94 · Answer

They don't - only a large percentage of men on this website and in uneducated areas of the United States do. And probably in Russia too. In real life, most educated young men don't have a problem with it.

Blazingdemon · Answer

There is a big difference between feminism and misandry

One is empowering women by encouraging them to be strong while at the same time treating the opposite gender with respect and equality

The other is empowering women by treating the opposite gender with hate making them think that they better than them through negative stereotypes

Many people misunderstand misandry with feminism

pervertedjester · Answer

It's not your fault feminism, it's mine. I'm just not ready for that kind of relationship right now. We can still be friends... I'll call ya... text ya sometime in the future... keep an eye out for a postcard... see ya.

Drifter83UK · Answer

What if this is in your mind? Haate is a strong word.. Also can you be a little more specific, as is this in regards to feminism in all bounds or feminist men?

StephenCF · Answer

Because I was once called “sexist” for holding a door open & saying “Ladies first!”

For many other men, I’m sure they’ve suffered much worse just for having good intentions. We hear or read about it every day now because of modern feminism 😒😒😒

CosmicMind78 · Answer

Because it is an anti white scam. Feminism has no criticism for nonwhite cultures treatment of women, It is just a movement weaponized by Jews against white countries, to plunge our birthrates, encourage women to have careers instead of families, be sluts, and reject their natural feminine roles. And everyone knows goddamn well only White women have this bullshit pushed on then.

zarathustra13 · Answer

In my opinion, men love power. With equality men will likely to have less power than usual. But in my case, i just hate a feminist who think that all men is that bad. A woman who think that we get what we get because of our gender. In my defence, not everything is about the gender

6lacier · Answer

Personally, I just don't recognize much of feminism's narrative. I feel like feminists often have a charicatured idea of what it is like to be male, and that their distorted worldview informs their often unhelpful policy ideas.

EriFrancis1994 · Answer

They're afraid that, when given equal opportunities, women will outdo them 😋

Agape93 · Answer

They confuse it with man hating. I’m a feminist and I’m in favor of equality. Equality in rights and in opportunity and in treatment.

BCA6010 · Answer

Modern feminism (in the USA anyway) has nothing to do with equality. That's why everyone hates it.

demonics · Answer

@11:57 I think she sums it up well. Also why is she outside in the rain?

AllThatSweetJazz · Answer

Feminism is illiberal, that’s why.

Moreover, I have to be picky about the word equality. I want equality under the law, not *sameness* or *equity*. I want the freedom that equality under the law protects. This is not something I see from feminism.

motownplayer2000 · Answer

Cause it's gone to a level to which it's not respectable.. most feminists I've been around talks about how men ain't shit. They are absolute trash, and good for nothing.. there is not room for that type of thinking in this world

NorthwestRider · Answer

The only men who hate feminism are stupid sexist religious nuts who want to control women Many countries need feminism like Russia, Saudi Arabia, Uganda, etc

daniel_shalome · Answer

It's annoying these days. It sometimes just ruins the moment. Things like consent in romance during initial stages etc. Oh gawd I'm gonna be hated. Wish I was Tony Stark! Throws the phone 'bill me'

wankiam · Answer

God-vs-Satan · Answer

Most people hate feminism because it portrays women as better than men, when nobody is better than others/ No sex, race, culture is better than another.
