    You have to define feminism first. If you mean "equality feminism" then that helps men by lessening the assumption that we will pay for everything all the time. If you mean feminazism, then from what I can see that only helps men who want to shun the responsibility for the children they help create. It does it by pushing abortion-on-demand up to point of birth.

    "feminism helps men too"
    Oh yes, by totally buggering marriage feminists have made it so now men can take jobs that give us just enough to be comfortable, by having to support a family, take on debt through mortgages, pursue any hobby we wish, just by being a bachelor and interacting or not with women as the mood takes them.

    It's not about "proving" anything. I believe that nobody wins unless everybody wins. Feminism simply allows people to be judged more by their humanity than their gender.

      And yet the opposite seems to be happening here in 2019, since men can be blamed for all sorts of things under the guise of "toxic masculinity". Thanks to feminism, some employers are actively hiring less men and more women because some Human Resources intern threatened to sue the executive board for "not being inclusive enough". Of course, the *ideal* is that people be judge on character, not on gender or race. But people beating their chests about "inclusivity and diversity" (usually also feminists) are focused almost ENTIRELY on race, gender, and sexual orientation. If you're not a gay black woman, or a transgender Asian demisexual, then they don't want you around the workforce. Being a straight white man is, in these people's eyes, equivalent to being a black man in 1930s America. It's segregation in reverse.

      (Please note: I'm not levelling this critique at you personally, and you're right on that either everybody wins or nobody wins. But not everyone in feminist movement is as level-headed and reasonable as you are. Maybe it's just this cultural tipping point we're at, where everyone wants to be offended by everything, and nothing is ever "woke" enough to satisfy the twitter mobs.)

      p. s. despite the downvotes you're getting from guys on here, I actually agree with the first two parts of your statement, so upvoting on that basis. It can't be easy to defend something you're passionate about to a room full of people who have already decided you're wrong, so I respect the position you're taking even if I don't agree with parts of it.

      @SomeGuyCalledTom Thank you. I am not out to get anyone and if someone who is innocent gets hurt in the name of feminism, I am truly sorry. Can people be too "woke"? Well of course. I think, too often, we look at the most outrageous things people say or do and attribute that to everyone who labels themselves a "feminist" or what have you. People have the absolute right to disagree with me or downvote me but I feel confident in my beliefs.

      That's just a benefit for women with extra steps. I can't take "consideration and understanding" to the bank, it doesn't DO anything for me, besides making me... "nicer"... maybe? I'm not saying men should NOT be considerate or understanding of women's legitimate issues. But the question specifically relates to how MEN BENEFIT personally from feminism.

      You can disagree with me if you like, but something tells me from how your comment got ratio'd that I'm not the only guy who sees it that way.

    Feminism should be the fight for equality but it seems some use that word for domination over men and other issues. So do i think equality helps men? i think so. There's just more opportunities on both sides with equality.

      Nah we can. But men secretly are happy with the system of employment, the entertainment industry, our political structure etc. That’s why we never created a movement for equality. Right? Feminism was started and created by women. Not men.

      And you seem to think that feminism isn't in support of egalitarianism.

      Egalitarianism is the philosophical sociological concept

      Feminism is the movement.

      Why feminism specifically over other isms? Because it was one of the early equality movements, it became somewhat cohesive, as a movement it promotes egalitarianism

      And what is wrong with starting work toward egalitarianism with one of the traditionally most downtrodden groups?

      The very fact that so many males get all squirmy about feminism shows right there that we still have a long way to go.

      Ever wonder why no-one batts an eye when women wear traditionally male clothes, yet if a male dresses in traditionally female clothes everyone looses their mind?

      Start by raising those most knocked down in society, everyone will have their situation improved.

      @SwordShield if feminism as a movement were to be promoting actions that did not benefit women, these actions, by definition would not be egalitarian. Just as the actions that benefit women, benefit all of society. If they do not, then those actions should not be supported. Because they would be oppressive to one group or another or several.

      @Boppy Sure, but why not lift the least privilidged to be more equal and everyone wins without leaving the positioning.

      Or is the idea of letting others have theirs somehow reduces the value of your privilige?

    It helps feminine men. Its against masculine men. Feminism says its ok for men to cry, be gay, turn into trannies, etc stuff like that. The vast majority of men don't want to cry or be gay or wear a dress so no it does not help men.

      Wages were cut in half because the employers couldn't afford to pay the same rate at double the number of employees. The solution was then to cut wages in half of what they were, which is a huge part of why we have such horrible wage stagnation now.

      So what does that mean for the men? They had the same amount of work and half the pay.

      For women? They had no choice but to find jobs because you could no longer live off of one wage, which has also had a horribly negative affect on parenting. I'm sure you have heard all the issues with this generation, give it time, it will be worse and worse because kids are hardly being raised by those who should be doing it.

      How does this affect both genders? Wage stagnation is a big one, as mentioned. People who are in a relationship they are no longer happy in (or even worse, abusive relationships) often feel trapped economically because they can't afford to live on 1 wage. So they either suffer in current relationships, are forced to move back into their parents house (if possible), or they hop into another relationship when they aren't emotionally ready.

      All of these things lead to horrible parenting, kids will grow up thinking their childhood was good/normal (it's not, shouldn't be normal), and will only have a spiraling affect downward towards a worsening future.

      You could argue that because women entered the workforce it gave them at least *some* power in leaving a bad relationship. But if it did, why don't they? (Because it really didn't, again, wage stagnation and wages being worth half what they used to be in terms of buying power. Half is probably overstating it.) But even then women sacrificed their power of choice on choosing men and who to marry/date/cohabitate with and now do it out of necessity because both men and women are desperately just trying to afford bills, and you can't do it on a single persons wage. Also, since men are now so desperate to find women they are even more cunning, lying their way into relationships and more or less entrapping women out of economic desperation. Women also lost the most important time of their child's life for... What? What we have now is better? I don't think so, personally.

      I have no issue with women in the workplace, but society was better off with someone raising the kids. I hope it goes back to that someday, some how. Kids need parents, was cutting wages worth them losing that? I say no.

      @Cocacolaaddict in most countries men only got the right to vote in last 200 years and even then it was only men with property, that changed in about 1900.
      The main reason that the majority of women reject feminism is because every woman is some man's daughter, sister, mother, aunt, girlfriend, wife, cousin, friend, grandmother.

It really catches me off guard when even a women friend so much as performs the simple act of bringing me a drink. It truly is a foreign experience since I I so used to women doing pretty much nothing but being present. Kind of like having a pet. I have to both entertain and feed them. So I got a female dog. At least she doesn't grow roots in front of a television.

      The emotional response is a false flag. What you mean is that feminism has asked men to surpress their natural response to emotional distress and instead emote how women emote. In other words ignore your own biological response to emotional stimulation and instead respond how women naturally respond to emotions. Otherwise it is called toxic, or suppression.

      @Anpu23 I'm not saying men have to run around crying all the time. If a man cries a lot he's either depressed or has some coping skills issues. I'm talking about when a man cries because he's legitimately sad or afraid like when he loses his job after 30 years, some he knows is sick or dies, if his child is having problems, things like that. Real reasons that anyone would cry. If a man starts crying all the time when it isn't his norm it's time to get it checked out medically.

      You misunderstood, according to FMRI men's emotional centers are tied to the areas for action and movement, while women's centers are tied to communication. Therefore it seems to be natural for guys to act on their emotions while it seems to be natural for women to talk about there emotions.
      Therefore a constructive way for men to address emotional distress would be something physical, working out, building something etc. Yet these behaviors have been labeled as avoidance or to take a more popularistic term toxic. Therefore this campaign to get guys to open up is actually counter to biology and not helpful, instead it is a control technique to force men to emote in a way that women relate to. And is probably effecting the emotional health of many men.

      @Anpu23 ah that makes sense. I do believe there is some truth to that. I meant more like a brief crying spell if something came up. Most men aren't prone to talk in great depth about something unless it is pretty overwhelming.

      Side Note: i think if boys (well girls too) had more time to be active like when I was in school with three recesses and free playing instead of organized activities all the time I think that there would be more well balanced boys and men.

      The article is legit, most men agree (except incels, mgtow, religious fanatics and their duplicate accounts) ;)
      I know that women have been in the workforce for ages, I never said they weren't.
      You're hiding it pretty well, but it took you awhile to answer this, which means you were busy with your other profiles :D

    Feminism shows us the true toxicity of twats and allows an intelligent man to proceed accordingly during any interactions with them.

    feminists need to forget the discrimination a few hundred years ago and remember if you are failing in life its your own fault not societies
