What makes so many men resent feminism? Does it mean they think women are inferior and not to be treated equally? Does anti-feminist mean anti-women?

I think the problem is that some people confuse equality with equivalence.

Men and women can be "equal," but they cannot be the same.

This is an important distinction that has been intentionally blurred by the feminism movement for political purposes.

It's reached a point where some people believe crazy things like men can have babies and women can be competitive in mens' sports. This kind of madness degrades society.

And even worse, anyone who challenges those insane notions is accused of being an anti-feminist, transhomophobic misogynist.

In short, the political left has outlawed sanity.

Men and women can be "equal," but they have different strengths and weaknesses. The reality is that that means that they naturally have different roles in society. Recognizing that isn't anti-feminism, it's sanity and a recognition that nature and reality cannot be denied.

It's not the notion that women are equal that offends many anti-feminists it's the hallucinogenic notion that men and women are the same and the entire false society destroying gender related narrative of the political left.

Here is a watered down, version of my thoughts.

It means that there is no way in hell a woman is equal to a man.
A man is also not even close to equal to a woman. We're fucking different. Get over it.

People (male and female.. that's it) with their equality accross the board shit, means that women won't have the same perks... Opening doors, killing a spider, giving your seat to them, holding an umbrella for them or any number of things. Then they will bitch because "chivalry is dead", while claiming to be an equal in the same breath. (Of course this isn't true for all people).

However... We get it. Women are humans. As are men. In this, they are the same. THATS WHERE IT ENDS.

Women are more important/valued in many cases. Men are more important/valued in many cases.

In every single species, there are noticeable differences in the sexes. We aren't the exception.

This argument is dumb.

Well said and clearly accurate.

Drive by a dance club on a Friday night. Nothing has changed in a billion years.

Boys and girls love to hate each other. :) When I was in kindergarten, I was well aware of the toxicity of girl germs. Way worse than Covid. But, dang, they sure looked nice.

[RingOfFire]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
True that.

It's a love/hate relationship. We can't live with or without each other.

[PepperJackson]

So true. We are gluttons for punishment. I love the country song..."Give me just one more last chance."

[RingOfFire]

Great song! 👍

There are some negative elements to modern feminism that make men resent it, and rightly so. That's not an indictment of feminism as a whole because there are a lot of good feminists doing good things, but they are not the loudest voices in the movement who get the most attention. What those good feminists ARE guilty of is not squelching those bad feminists. There are not nearly enough good women speaking out against bad feminism, and that is the biggest issue feminism faces today. If it is to remain relevant, feminism needs to address the problems in its ranks rather than just pretending they don't exist.

[RingOfFire]

Your case is well stated. But the entire premise of "feminism" is that women are somehow oppressed victims living in a misogynist world.

I'm not sure there is any "good" corner in that room.

I've been battered and bludgeoned with this since a preteen hearing about the man hating Gloria Steinums latest bone picking session in the early 70s. I instantly felt defiled and abused as a 10 year old boy. This is my beginning of hate for the feminist biyatches.

Feminists say they want equality, yet they clearly don't give a flying fuck about the other half of the human race. So "equality", which is the cornerstone of the feminist programs, is 100 bullshit.

Ask them why 4 out of 5 suicide victims are males, and they say men are weak pansies.

Fuck feminists.

[RavVid]

Yes. It is an enormous irony that feminists support biological men punching biological women in the face as hard as they can.

[NathanDavis]

not something I ever had to be troubled or deal with

if feminism = equality one would think that anti-feminism = anti-equality

but because anti-feminism = anti-woman then feminism = woman and never about equality to begin with

actions do speak louder than words at the end of the day

a lot use it for an excuse for misandry
