Is feminism for men too?

Question

jaybee281 · Accepted Answer

Feminism is turning the most masculine men into feminine bitches due to how men are "supposed" to act shit like don't sexualize the female body and this kind of stupid crap.. Also them asking for jobs and same pay grade under the idea that they are independent but then only care for a man that can provide her money and well being is counter intuitive because one can't happen while the other exists and therefore stupid while men never cared about a woman that can provide so feminism just from mindset perspective is ruining everything from sexuality to jobs to lifestyle.. Funniest part is that those who call the most for feminism are those celebrities who could technically buy and enslave 200 males if this was the 1700s so let's not talk about money equality because a woman makes the same as the man if they have the same position and they definitely could and they know it.. So honestly this whole feminism thing is a cancer that i can't believe some people are actually going for it and i didn't even get all the points the guys here probably made a lot of other points.. Cancer that's the keyword for this

Feminism is definitely for men as well! I just wish the term was changed to something more masculine AND feminine instead of initially just sounding feminine when heard. I support feminism but in this day and age, I'm ashamed to even speak of it because the people who take it too far are actually the people who just straight up hate men and want females to be the superior race and whatnot. commonly called feminazis. adding onto that, there has been this trend where people are calling each other "simps" for showing any kind of gratitude for women so if males show support for feminism, you already know what society will do to you.

Yes.

You can have an equal partner instead of some illiterate child you have to look after.

You can actually marry a woman knowing that she desires you because she has the freedom to date and not being forcibly married off by her parents.

You also have more female doctors and your woman doesn't have to let a male doctor look at her body for certain diagnoses. Of course a lot of women and even men don't mind the idea of a woman visiting a male doctor, but at least you have the option for a female doctor if you want! In conservative cultures, lack of female doctors used to be a big issue because male doctors had a hard time treating female patients due to heavy restrictions and gender segregation. Imaging having to treat a woman who won't take her burkha off as a male doctor.

Both you and your partner have options when it comes to having children, and how you would like to raise them.

Your daughter's life doesn't get doomed if she doesn't get married.

There are more but I'll end it right here.

People need to stop complaining about what they don’t have. Feminism, MGTOW, whatever. Just treat everyone how you’d want to be treated and stop complaining.

I wouldn’t say I’m a feminist. I just treat everyone the same, with respect and love.

Men can be feminists too but why can’t men be masculinists? Men should feel like they can be proud of their gender too.

ADFSDF1996 · Answer

It’s not for men or women. It’s just a SocJus tool meant to divide people, specifically men and women.

akihon · Answer

Of course feminism can't be for men, that's like asking turkeys to vote for Christmas.

It used to be about equality but it's never been about actual equality but always a version of, that's acceptable to women.

By that I mean all of the rights but with none of the responsibility.

Now if you support equal rights for women, most men do by the way then you also support equal responsibilities for women, most men also do by the way.

What then do you get with today's iteration of feminism is actually a movement that's about hating men and assuming supremacy over men, making women free of all men by making all men slaves to women.

ManOnFire · Answer

Aw, man, that was funny as shit! But seriously, no. Feminism isn't and never was for men - and I don't want it to be, God no. Feminists just try to argue that it is so that it seems like it works for everyone and doesn't leave anyone out. I want no association with such a group. Feminism also has a shameful and ironic history of racism, with feminism's classic heroes like Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucy Stoner showing it like mad when blacks were given the right to vote. Also, feminists in the 1920s literally did not want black women marching with them in the suffragist movement but just had them march in the back instead.

And in 2018, when feminists were organizing some kind of march, there was some controversy when a black feminist and a Hispanic feminist outright blamed the Jews and “asserted that Jewish people bore a special collective responsibility as exploiters of black and brown people,”.

Yeah, feminism is a real joke.

cth96190 · Answer

Feminism was created by Communists to destroy Western Civilisation, by destroying the family and destroying the masculinity of men.
See the Communist Manifesto (Marx, 1854) and the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion.
After you read those two documents, the true purpose of the programme of the left and the faux right will become self evident.
So, I would I wish to support an insane counter-factual ideology that is dedicated to the destruction of Western Civilisation and the extermination of my race?
Hell no!

Anonymous · Answer

Feminism is absolutely for men too. The whole point of feminism is for women to be equal with men. It is so that men get the same rights to their children that women do. It is so that women get the same opportunities as men in regards to jobs. It is NOT so that women are put on a higher pedestal than men. It is purely so that women and men are treated equally in every part of society. Personally, I believe that the term feminism was adopted was because the movement for equality was started and pushed by women. But if the word makes you feel bad or you do not like the stigma with feminism, substitute the synonym equality for it. Feminism = Equality, and if anyone tells you different, they are wrong.

indianninja · Answer

Yeah I think it pretty much is. Modern day feminism is all about equality of sexes. Patriarchy also hurts males, by putting us in too much stress and expectations to perform financially. Males are expected to man up in many occassions, shuns emotions and crying, expected to be more expendable in wars and so on. Shit that politicians caused, if it is risky, is mostly plugged by young male lives than young lives in general.

That, and it is the right thing to do.

Ámayas_20 · Answer

In today's world feminism is nothing but a complete SJW hate group. Feminism originally was good and needed, now in today's world there still are some issues surrounding gender but feminism is not the way to solve them we need an actual movement of equality.

Knuxx · Answer

The term feminism as it is really treated to day is to empower women. When you look to politics it is spoke of in in this fashion.
But when you look at feminist groups there is the problem of some in the group who believe women should get special treatment. As a single dad those women and sometimes men offend the hell out of me.

If they had their way my kids would be with someone that doesn't want to take care of them. That wants to party and drink and have doesn't care how she affects the lives of others so long as she has her fun. So yea I dont use the term as it is not the proper terminology. Equality sucks for everyone but it's still better than men getting screwed because they are a man.

Historylover18 · Answer

I typically wouldn't label myself a feminist but I do believe there is qualities of feminism that is for male benefit too. Mainstream orthodox feminist ideology does teach that a society dominated by the male gender has had disastrous effects on the men themselves due to unreasonably high pressure and expectations on the men that has resulted in negative consequences for our emotional and physical health. For example the pressure for men to be doing the hard (and often dangerous) labour such as mining and combat has resulted in a lower life expectancy than females, combined with the belief that men aren't supposed to show emotions having increased the likelihood of suicide among men because it makes them feel like their emotions don't matter. Each of these according to orthodox feminist theory are caused by the system that their own gender is supposed to govern. It's even worse for working class males in particular

DiscomfortZone · Answer

Feminism is an anti-man hate cult for the weakest most pathetic kind of female filth. You know, the fat ugly bitches nobody would fuck even if they paid them. These sorry wastes of oxygen crave sexual attention from men, they crave it so much that they make believe men want to rape them. Yep, they're actually that pathetic. They remember how nobody would even look at them in highechool (not without vomiting) so now they lie to themselves about how every man around them is. sexually harrassing them. Honestly, they should do the humane thing for themselves and end it all.

BlueGoddess · Answer

Yeah, of course. Feminism is about equality. As long as you want all genders to be equals, you are a feminist.

Anonymous · Answer

Feminism Has Liberated Men by insisting that women are physically equal to men and do not need men. So men have taken that to mean that they no longer have to marry, they can take jobs that give them just enough earnings to be comfortable, by not having to support a family, take on debt through mortgages, they can pursue any hobby, just by being a bachelor and interacting or not with women as the mood takes them.

Men are now doing what they want to do, not what women want them to do and that is why women are upset because they have no CONTROL over men any-more that is why they say that men are being sexist, because men are now looking out for themselves first and foremost.

Well done feminists you created this and you are now learning about the law of unintended consequences.

CelineBV · Answer

I think the term should be equity.
Feminism includes the word feminine and it was originally when we had a harder time long ago. Men already had properties, voting rights, chance to go to college, etc. Otherwise why even have the word feminine...

genericname85 · Answer

no, it's not. it's not even for women these days. it's for a very narrow group of special interest people. in a time where both men and women have the same rights, feminism has no place. but we are now in times where women are more previliged in front of the law than men are. so feminism is extra. it's creating inequality, not reducing it.

BeachMaster · Answer

I'll do what the f ever I want and can't nobody tell me what to do. Ego do you think you are to try and control my life and control what I think or do. Like you are better then me or something and my boss or something. Last time I checked you weren't. You aren't better then me your opinion doesn't matter more the mine. You can't tell me what to do or think. I'm not your slave.

sensible27 · Answer

I don't know what is feminity or masculinity and if should really exist. Technically you should just operate on what's logical and makes sense, like you aren't going to flip towards a more irrational solution because you belong to some gender are you?

Oram52 · Answer

Women in East Europe dislike feminism, feminism has taken no foothold there. You see how women still put effort in their appearance, women in STEM fields is also higher there.

Its in the word "FEM"inism. No no its feminasiz not real feminists, and what exactly are real feminists doing for other women let alone men? Only about 30% of people in America support feminism, that should be clue in itself.

FakeName123 · Answer

No. And it never was. Instead when talking about equality, the old waves of feminism talked about make women equal to men as they started from a position where they've seen women as inferior. It was never inteded to make "men equal to women".

And nowadays it's just a shitshow of toxicity and cray nutjobs and some followers who are simply too naive and/or oblivious to see it.

AynonOMouse · Answer

Nope, not at all. It has never done anything for men and it only seeks preferential treatment for women. All women that claim to be feminists hate men and if they say they don't they are lying.

by the way, I recognize that G@G user in the video. :P

No.. Not when there are ones in there like Julie bindel who believe that the male population needs to be systematically castrated and culled until men represent 10% or less of the total population of this planet..

Fuck feminism.. Feminism is cancer..

IAMNathanael · Answer

Not these days. It used to be about bringing women up but instead the aim is to bring men down. Don't get me wrong, I know it's not that way all throughout but that seems to be where mainstream feminism puts its focus.

UncleJessieRabbit · Answer

No!
- Being offended about female characters in video games and any other media and say women should not be "oversexualized"
- Complaining about being paid less when it's really based on the type of work chosen, etc.
- Much more negative stuff.

Feminism is now a degenerate and totalitarian-ish movement. To hell with all of it.

Codywow · Answer

No, it's an inherently feminine movement the describes men as a virus in its 4th wave. First two waves I would say yes but moddern feminists tarnished the legacy of the first two. Every movement has an "other" to be demonized for feminism (in its moddern form) thats white men. If the movement was for men too they would incorporate some men's rights into their cause. As a human rights movement. In reality their representatives demonize those who fight for men's rights.

existential_laments · Answer

No, despite the movement being always broadcasted as advocating equality for women and men, its only under the premise that is focused on women's rights. The problem is, people throw the term feminism around and people always bend their ideologies to serve what they are biased for. Thats why there's so much disagreement.

potatoiswhoiam · Answer

It's about equality between both sexes, so it largely involves men too, as opposed to what many feminazi believe

I guess that 'if you want equality, you're a feminist' but I just hate that word so so much it's wrong

jayden888 · Answer

We don't need feminism. We need people to be more responsible, understanding and loving. Feminism has taken evil tones as well in the recent times - that's not the society we should be going towards.

Agape93 · Answer

Yeah. That’s why I think the whole men’s rights movement is pointless, because feminism is meant to address inequality between men and women.

seethroughmyeyes · Answer

Feminism is there for men also and we call it equality. i believe women have to be treated the same way and with the same rights as a man. And they should have equal responsibilities too.

It would’ve been 100 years ago when feminism was needed. But in this century, it’s not for men unless they’re self-loathing, desperate, white knight suck-ups looking to lose their virginity by any means necessary 🤦🏻‍♂️

That video perfectly sums up all of the "good" things feminism has done for both women and men. lol

The net effect of feminism on men has been overwhelmingly negative. Anyone who argues otherwise is being very dishonest. I see there are a lot of dishonest women right here in this thread.

Yes. It’s simply equal rights for women. Anything more is adding undo burden onto a word. You want to hate social justice warriors fine. But feminism is simply one thing, equality.

No, it's equality for *women* (not that it isn't necessary in places of the world where women are treated horribly).

It just has no business existing in first-world countries in this day and age. We need a 'sex egalitarian' movement instead.

Feminism is for equality of genders, that includes men too. But don't forget that most of the present-day "feminist" are fake... they are in fact feminazis, not genuine feminists.

No, it is for women, at the expense of men. Power is a zero-sum game. When one identity gets more power, another identity loses it. That doesn't mean that feminism is bad. Maybe women deserve more power? But it definitely isn't for men.
