Nah.
I am a feminist and even I think there are some really toxic mindsets within the movement. Im not looking to be dominant over men, I just want true equality meaning any gender can step into any role and it won't be looked down on. Each couple can make their own decisions about what works for them of course but I want the option to be there and neither side being looked at negatively for it.
I also don't like the idea of women just being equal with men in benefits but not the drawbacks of men dealing with those issues. If we can't accept the bad with the good then we don't deserve those rights.

I'm a woman and I don't support feminism. I actually went to a feminist school for five years so I really really don't support it at all.
They say it's about equality I totally totally realize that it isn't about that. hardcore Gloria Steinem woman with a Y feminism is not about equality it's about matriarchy and putting men down.
All of this obsession with the Hindu goddess Kali and so on --- at the heart of, basically the creed of feminism, is this man destroying mentality. And I don't care who jumps on me for it because that's what it is.
Also arbitrary equality across the genders, male and female two genders thank you, is actually more of an oppression because men and women are different so equity is best in some places which may not always mean equality. So I can't hang with feminism.
With that being said, it doesn't give him a right to be a misogynistic to be abusive to be patronizing dismissive and condescending Because I don't play that.
What Girls Said
As long as he sees us as equals, Iâm good. But he can still be the dominant one in the relationship. No I wouldnât see it as he hates women, he maybe just doesnât want me talking about what a strong women I am every 10 seconds. I have a boyfriend that makes jokes about women and other controversial things. I donât care, I find them funny.
No, like me I think certain movements are just extremely like people are protesting for something thatâs already there. If a guy makes a joke for example âwomen are propertyâ or â go clean the kitchenâ if they have a joking personality and your friends itâs cool. If we arenât friends I could take offense to that. If you say it plain just to be rude then yes I could get the idea you might be a little sexist.

Yes I would assume that he has no respect for women. He doesn't see women as people who also have rights.
It's okay to not support something, it's a completely different thing to treat someone differently because of it. He could just not support the movement but still treats women perfectly fine, in which case I see no problem here. I wouldn't automatically assume he hates women unless his actions reflected that.
No, I think he probably do not know so much about how women are treated some places in the world or that he does not want to be put in a box of being a feminist. The last one I am in myself, so I would ask him for his reasons before I assume anything.
No but if he talks down about all women or blames everything wrong in his life or relationships on feminism, that would be different...
Nah. It just means he doesnât support the movement. He could still support the belief of equality.
Nah. I think thatâs pretty common. As long as he treats me well that wouldnât bother me.
Nah. I'm not a feminist and couldn't have a relationship with anyone with a strong belief in an "ism", feminism included.
I don't support feminists, so if he does, he would likely be out. Who needs white knight beta males?
