Why are so many people on this app anti feminism?

Question

nathanp97 · Accepted Answer

Because feminists don't give any reason why men should support it. They push the idea of a sexist wage gap with no evidence, even though there is quite a bit that says there isn't.

They ignore men's issues thinking they have it worse. Eg. There are more missing and murdered aboriginal men than women, yet only women get attention.

They want to give women the right to choose to be parents or not, but won't give men the same choice. Why can't a father choose not be in the kids life and pay for it? (I have not problem with women choosing to have an abortion, but men need the choice not to be parents too.)

They use misleading stats. Eg. The on 2-8% of rape accusations are false. 50% aren't proven either way, and it is off those reported to police. I could just as easily say 42-48% of rape accusations are false. Do you see how that's misleading?

The metoo movement went to far, and harmed lots of men without any proof. And lots of feminists said it was actually okay that innocent men might lost there jobs and reputation, because it does more good than bad.

The hole toxic masculinity thing is another issue. Masculinity isn't toxic, and what gives women the right to define masculinity? They aren't men! Not to mention the whole man spreading and mansplaining crap.

And then there are women who go after mra groups and attack men.

Feminist have never given any proof of discrimination or sexism, and from everything I've seen feminists have done way more sexist things than men have, but by all means prove me wrong. I believe in equality but I have seen evidence of inequality in developed countries.

Well, that picture says it all.

The feminism we know today is nothing more than a misandrist movement that uses proto totalitarian tactics to promote their agenda. So in a sense the mindset of the feminist movement is “Us vs them”.

Most people despise feminism because they know what will happen if feminism gets it’s way.

1.) Men will be treated like second class citizens who are subservient rather than equal.

2.) Straight marriage would be shunned and shamed by the feminists.

3.) Women will be forced to be more butch.

4.) Tradition and culture will be repressed

5.) Asians, whites and the religious would be treated as scapegoats under the guise of them being “privileged”.

As a gay girl, I in no way hate men.
I feel like people as of right now, especially today are stereotyping feminism as to in believing they hate men, and believe that men are the weaker sex. But I can’t blame you, as that is what they are picturing it to be.
The original meaning of Feminism goes towards equality. And the women who are downgrading men just as men sometimes are to women, is just hypocritical. I have absolutely no idea if you guys are disregarding equality, or the typical cookie cutter “Feminist girl”
All in all, all I am saying is that some of the people below or just around you in general have no idea what the true measure of “Feminism” is. Rather it is women downgrading men, or not.
If the true meaning of Feminism would be towards Equalities to both sexes, both men and women, than I’m sure most of you men in the comments would stand by it too.
No hate here, just trying to post my opinion :)
P. S, most of you down here are Men and have literally no idea what it feels like to not be able to go in an Anonymous chat and be shamed on for what’s in your pants. So next time when you see a “Girl power shirt” in the kiddies section and believe that is downgrading men. It’s simply just uplifting girls, to know that we are both equal. It doesn’t say “We hate men!” On the shirt either, doesn’t it?

Anonymous · Accepted Answer

That vest top is one reason why I dislike feminists so much. It's a typical slogan from a feminist. It's okay to want equal opportunities, but slogans like that are just so silly. There's no need for it.

Most feminists come across as psychotic and men haters. They're generally biggotted.

It should say "the future is equal opportunities", not "the future is female". I cringe when I hear or see feminists using such slogans.

Even in this day and age, I don't believe women are capable of doing all that men can do. Some jobs women just can't handle or won't be as competent at.

We should be realistic too when it comes to equal opportunities.

OlderAndWiser · Answer

Many people hate feminism because, quite often, "feminism" is a code word for man haters and not equality. Look at the picture you posted with this question; does it suggest that women want to be equals or does it suggest that women want to rule over men? How would you feel if I posted a picture of a guy wearing a shirt that says, "The future is male?"

There is a perspective other than your own. Consider it!

EmperorOfRussia · Answer

The shirt pic you have posted here summarises everything that is wrong with Feminism.

It's a political movement of poor little things, it's religiously joined by women with low self-esteem (which explains why you Feminists love to hear catchphrases like "the future is female") who demand to be treated with kid gloves by everyone, and also joined by men who either are sexual predators in disguise or self-hating morons. LOW SELF-ESTEEM IS THE PLAGUE OF OUR TIMES. All these cultish Liberal political movements wouldn't exist if most people were psychologically well-adjusted, were raised properly with love and discipline by parents and had bonds with decent people (instead of living in loneliness).

That's why I'm against Feminism, it's a symptom of a decadent society... And, look, I'm not even going to talk about the man-haters...

AmandaYVR · Answer

This is a very complicated topic. And I personally don't want to get into anymore arguments with men about it. But I will just say that this t-shirt image is not helping anything. It is about power, one upmanship, and it is adversarial. I am of the feminists who believe, truly and deeply, that feminism is not about overtaking, but about true equality. And not that men and women should be the same. We are not. What kind of f'd up world would it be if we all acted the same? That would be pointless. But we must all have equal rights, equal value, and equal pay for equal skill and education and what we bring to the table. This is mandatory. Everything else is a complex, nuanced tapestry of finding ways to be together - peacefully, happily, and by accepting and appreciating our differences, and becoming a better society by blending our strengths and weaknesses together. It is about balance. Not power.
I would burn that t-shirt. It sets the wrong tone.

kymberz · Answer

i love women! don't get me wrong. like i have 800 of my closest girlfriends calling me and dinging me on messenger and trying to get me back on facebook (no way. i hate facebook!) and i love them and we laugh and it is truly wonderful! but i would very much like some men in my future thanks! so the future IS NOT female. in my beautiful dreamy-eyed brain - the future is EQUAL! and there are a lot of girls and guys on this site and they are funny and intelligent and wonderful and they seem to have no problem treating me and each other EQUALLY! that's my future. although i have to say that top she is wearing in the pic is really cute. but not the words. she ain't pretty she just looks that way!

Zorrak · Answer

Men are found to be smarter and better tactitions that also why so many more men own businesses and even countries because they can be extremely focused on one task so saying men handle the brawn and women handle the brain isn't best ideas because even in movies you'd often see refrence to real life of a woman having a breakdown when there is an issue while a guy why push through and figure his way out of the situation but women do posses 1 amazing gift that no man can have and that's to create life and of course she needs a man for that but birthing a child and taking care of it is an amazing job and very looked up to by men

SomeGuyCalledTom · Answer

It's not our job to explain why we're against your movement. It's your job to explain why we should be in favour of it.

What's feminism done lately that's caused more good than harm? Why would a self-respecting man support a movement that openly admonishes him and calls him "toxic" and "privileged"? Why would a self-respecting woman advocate for a cause that tells her she's "regressive" for wanting to play a more traditional role in society/ her household/ relationship?

The problem with feminism is that-- like most other "progressive" movements of the last decade-- it's taken on a totalitarian, "witch-hunt" approach. Feminism is no longer about women's rights, it's about power.

StephenCF · Answer

Because it’s not what it used to be. Feminism was once a fight for gender equality which women didn’t have many years ago. Now, in most countries that are still full of feminists somehow, they do.

So many GAGers are anti-feminist because we’ve grown tired of the overly-entitled women who demand more than they’ve earned in society such as superiority over males as well as their self-righteousness and delusion that there are more than 2 genders just because a group of Tumblr users once claimed it 🤦🏻‍♂️

Anonymous · Answer

Because they have small dicks and broken egos. They misconstrue every effort to bring equality into this world as taking something from them that they deserve to have. Its priviledge + ignorance.

Theyre like: but we used to keep you in the kitchen, why are you trying to leave? We used to keep you in the closet, stay in there or else you're throwing it in my face!

People like reptocarl, olderwiser, ronaldo and the 50+ alt right dipshits on here, they're prime examples of how self centered and hateful the boomer generation has always been. They think their rights and things they deem normal are the only ones that have a right to be acknowledged. They are sad pathetic people who get offended more often than the most delicate trigglypuff snowflake.

AlexanderBrunnrgaard · Answer

There are quite many in society in general opposed to feminism. I myself defer to Jordan Peterson on the matter. If we're talking about women having equal opportunity to give what they can offer the world as men do, then sure. If it's about propagating hatred for a claimed oppressive, evil patriarchal west and, "systematic violence by men", then absolutely not. I myself have no need to call myself a feminist due to how disparate its followers are, many of whom shouting extremism under the doctrine of feminism.

I never understood that, "the future is female", furthermore. It clearly isn't. The future has nothing to do with the sexes, we will both still exist, and to have that as your rallying cry hardly does you any favors when coming to the table asking for why you are disliked.

XavierSteele · Answer

Hmm, good question. I would think that some men feel threatened, but the majority of men simply fear doing something wrong and offending the opposite sex. Me, I don't care, I treat everyone as my equal until I am proven otherwise. That seems to work for me. Sort of like that T-Shirt, it promotes a hostile message to the world not only men. Simply put Themescara does not truly exist and there is no island of ONLY women. Feminists sort of forget that there is NO future if it were only women, the human species will just die out due to lack of reproduction.

nelly83 · Answer

I can talk about this forever. But I will condense it in a few words.

There are many men who HATE women out there. In order to hate on women without sounding like a sexist. They use a small portion of feminists (men haters) to mock and ridicule the entire organization of feminism. They give no consideration for feminists who aren't man haters. They use that small portion of feminists to justify their hate towards women.
You will also realize that many men on here also hate women and think that men have the right to control women. A lot of them love degrading and insulting women too. Its all on here if you look for it.
If there are woman haters, its fair to say that man haters should also have right to exist.

Anonymous · Answer

Because of things like the shirt you posted a picture of.

Because of things like "men are trash".

Because feminism is driven by hatred toward half of the population.

Because feminism fosters an us-versus-them mentality that divides the sexes.

Because feminism is supremely hypocritical.

Because feminism is not about equality at all.

Because feminism is the single biggest source of sexism in the West today.

Because feminism undermines respect for the entire female sex.

Because feminism is toxic.

I could literally go on and on and on.

lucas262 · Answer

Why?
Can't you see for yourself how bad feminism is?

1 example being a billion dead babies since 1970. Both world wars cost humanity around 100 million people. Hitler murdered what 6 million Jews and another 2 million or so undesirables. Through industrialized mass murder

Stalin and mao murdered or starved their people up to 30 million

We beat them all through a systematic system of baby killing that was indeed praises as a woman's right. To hell with that notion. Women wanted sex with no consequences, no responsability, or accountability a ,, quick,, fix to an inconvenient biological function. And they murdered their children for it like a cancer.

Antelope · Answer

Modern feminism has TERRIBLE PR. What I mean by this is, remember when it was "edgy" and "cool" to be a feminist? Nowadays, you have multitudes of young people standing against feminism, because it isn't doing a very good job of distancing itself from extremists. Also, the lack of focus on men's issues turns many off from it.

Feminism still has goals to achieve, but when it seems that they tend to ignore the other side regardless of anything they say, they really cease to be the good guy.

The attachment to slogans like "the future is female" is also slightly polarizing. Seriously, if the goal is to divide, feminists are sure accomplishing it.

Izumiblu · Answer

Because of sayings like. The future is female.  All if humanity is here to serve the needs and wants of females. Uhuh.

DashboardLight · Answer

First off, most of the people on this site are right-leaning.

Secondly, in my own opinion, there is this awkward, Nazi-like movement going on within the left side of the political spectrum, where people with different viewpoints are completely shut down. Not even overexaggerating, it is literally Nazi-like behavior. I won't post videos or photos to annoy people here even more, but I've seen people be abused for simply wearing a MAGA hat, or having a different opinion on a subject.

Furthermore, feminism isn't really about fair equality anymore. It has become more about achieving equality at all costs. I'm sure there is a pay gap between men and women overall, but, especially in nowadays society, people tend to draw conclusions quickly, and simply say it's all about sexism, not other factors that might come into play here.

jeemm · Answer

Feminism is fine and I totally agree with the message of being equals in terms of jobs and otherwise social status. However I don't agree with feminazis which is taking everything to an extreme and actually trying to gain higher social status and power than men and totally mock, ridicule and try to dominate men.

MackToday · Answer

Because it's not feminism it's cultural Marxism and it doesn't support women it uses them or political gain. Look at the rapes in Cologne Germany and how silent the "feminists" were or the grooming gangs in the UK. The so called feminists will try and shut you up for talking about these crimes against women and girls. These people are communists and liars.

IHateMondays · Answer

I’m anti feminist bc I mostly don’t like the mini goals they have. Sure I want people to be equal and stuff but I don’t agree with pro-choice. Also if it’s about all people being equal why don’t we call it equaliusm or however it would be spelled. Why do you have to include the fem. Also I feel like many feminist are dismissive of the things the men are working towards fight for. For example: in the courts, judges will favor mothers over fathers when it comes to the children.

Lliam · Answer

I'm not. I support equal rights and equal treatment for women. I assume most women do, too. But it's true that a few radical feminists are bitter ass holes with chips on their shoulders. They are the equivalent of male misogynists. They are the ones who give feminism a bad name. But they are a minority. In general, though, women are wonderful, they like men and have a right to be treated equally, dignity and with respect.

jgokgotit · Answer

Because the modern "feminist" movement has missed the whole point. The original feminist movement was meant to grant equal rights for men and women. That has already been achieved. Legally, women actually have MORE rights than men. The current wave of "feminism" is not happy unless women run EVERYTHING. They think that something is wrong just because a man is a CEO instead of a woman. They do not want equality. They want men to be lower class citizens compared to women.

5_AM_Oracle · Answer

The picture you uploaded pretty much sums it up. Feminism, should be equalism. But a lot of feminists don't see that. They're all 'women for the win' and 'equality as long as it's in our favor!' BS

hellionthesagereborn · Answer

Because feminist are liars and terrible people who ignore facts and do everything in their power to hurt others while claiming to be victims. Honestly I don't know how any one could be a feminist considering that every one of their talking points is provably false and they are just such hateful and sexist people.

Randomawkwardness · Answer

First of all, most people here are Republicans. They're usually very against feminism or you know, anything about equality. Secondly, some so called feminists will come on here and spout hatred under the guise that they're a feminist - they're not, they're just sexist. After that, they take those examplea and then the even more radical examples of feminism and just decide that's all it is and all it ever was.

normalice · Answer

They're not. It's just a few people with several hundred accounts. It is their strategy yo post something ridiculously over-the-top feminist with a pink account and then spend the next moth with their other accounts gloating about how insane it was, and therefore concluding all feminism must be over the top..

Anonymous · Answer

Because most people in here are too dumb to tell the difference between feminism and femi-nazism.
Also, there are some people who support certain imperialistic ideologies who are against equality (fascism, nazism, capitalism) - and who are likewise too stupid to realize that Stalinism and communism are not the same thing.
Such people usually write extremely crappy mytakes, glorifying mass stupidity (democracy), capitalism (i. e secretly worshiping fascism), and religion (believing in imaginary creatures, brainwashing and controlling masses of already dumb and naive people).

Lightningfire · Answer

I don’t like the ‘girls vs boys’ and ‘feminist vs everyone else’ mentality they portray. Not all of them are like this but the ones in the media are. That t-shirt looks passive aggressive and repulsive to males. My idea of a future is ‘the future is for ALL’.

pervertedjester · Answer

Because social media only exists in extremes. You either love something absolutely or you hate it completely. There's no middle ground anymore. So people assume the gender statements are a direct and personal assault against their individual existence.

AynonOMouse · Answer

Feminists hate men and are AGAINST equal rights. They are only for preferential treatment and no responsibilities/consequences.
Still waiting to see feminists get one single law passed that helps MEN. They don't because they are NOT for equal rights. they are just a bunch of hypocritical liars.

Anonymous · Answer

Likely because most of the users (of majority of them being men) don't realize that feminists not only believe in equality between men and women, but also in equality between every gender, class, race, and sexual orientation. They believe that feminism is full of men-hating, bra burning maniacs. They're misinformed and whatever they think they know, is something they don't like and no amount of explaining or trying to simplify it will help.

The feminist opinions expressed on this site are almost always the same ones that have either been screeched so much that WE ALL GET IT or the ones that have been debunked over and over again. It's not that we are all anti-feminist (some are but most aren't) it's that feminists don't fucking listen!

Anonymous · Answer

This form of feminism bothers me because we as women have many issues. I constantly encounter sexual harassment and many other women deal with much worse. Meanwhile, modern feminism would rather tout girl power constantly and look at all men in a derogatory light. I get upset that we focus on the minuscule issues with society when there are bigger problems women face than things like representation in media.

manofstyle · Answer

It's easy to be anti anything when people promoting it are aggressive about it and use putdowns, which frequently happens with feminism. Men view it as a threat to exclude them, in the same way that many people became offended by the black lives matter slogan, because they saw it excluding them.

Hispanic-Cool-Guy · Answer

A lot of the guys on this site are bitter loser and frustrated with lives.

Now, as far as feminism, traditional feminism (3rd wave feminism can go to hell) is needed in place to a certain extent so that women can protect themselves from abuse and mistreatment in society from misogynistic pigs who think of women as inferiors.

Because it honestly isn't for equality there are obviously people in there for equality but the ones who actually make changes are the ones you don't and the ones that have been brainwashed to think that men are completely useless and they can do everything on there own because well you know men need women and women need men both genders need each other not just one

Actual feminism has long been chased away with the third and later waves.

That picture is a perfect example - shouldn't the future be equal?

If a man wore a shirt saying "THE FUTURE IS MALE", women worldwide would lose their shit.

Feminism has long been taken over by feminazis, not actual feminists. Women who look for the slightest thing to be offended over. Real feminists just want equality ACROSS THE BOARD - FOR MEN AND WOMEN!
