Why do people complain about feminism?

[Anonymous]

In a time where most men cannot adequately provide for their families- their wives to hold jobs, where men no longer how to fix things around the house- they just call the plumber and electrician, when men don't have to protect their families anymore- call 911, men no longer know how to build furniture / houses- all they do is to ask their wife to work extra shifts, save up, to buy it.

Feminism has risen over the years because men have failed to step up to the plate as men.

100 years ago, men actually knew how to fix things, could actually provide for their families well, knew how to fight, knew how to build furniture. Nowadays, men have absolutely nothing to offer. Your wife only has to work because you can't give your family a good life. YOU NEED FEMINISM to make ends meet.

[WhiteThought]

If you really believe that, it just proves how delusional feminism has made women. Feminism and it's propaganda is literally what pushed men to slowly became more feminine. Crazy thing is, feminism is something women can even defend or fight for. Feminism has risen because men felt sympathy for women.

For example, women acquiring the right to vote. Most women did not want it. Women acquired the right to vote, absent any responsibility.

Women entering the work force, decreased the dependency on men. This, and the egalitarian ideology forced upon newer generations, men and women began to shift away from traditional gender roles, which is why a lot more men are feminine now. Men still make more money and do far more for this county, for the community, for the world, than men do.

In short, feminism has risen because men allow it. If men, across the board, decided otherwise, feminism would disappear.

[Asker]

feminism risen because men are no longer men.
do you know how to fix things? NO
do you know how to protect? . NO, you will just tell your wife to call 911.
do you know how to provide? your wife only has to work because you can't provide for her well.

women can't be dependent on men anymore because men are essentially USELESS.

your male ancestors has provided for females way better than you ever would.

women would only need to be independent if they CANNOT DEPEND ON MEN.

[Sal_Monella]

Because most Feminists (don't) Suck.

[msmissydc]

Friendly counterargument here, I can't agree with that view towards feminism because, if I spin that argument further, it would mean that if men start providing, feminism would lose its purpose. That's kind of the opposite of my view towards feminism. My goal would not be to be more dependent on men. Additionally, it ignores all non-heterosexual women and single women.
I can agree with the point that a lot of men want traditional mariage while not providing their part of it. If that is the supposed takeaway, I can agree.

[Asker]

women can't be dependent on men anymore because men are essentially USELESS.

[Apple1996]

Yep it's ridiculous especially when men complain about feminist yet are feminist themselves and would expect a woman to go 50/50 with them.

[MzAsh]

Parts of our society desperately need women to need centering themselves around men and babies. And they’re mad because women no longer want that, and many never did.

[Stevepro68]

Why does men not fixing things, not fighting mean feminism? The idea that women have a bit of a power imbalance in our society, has little to do with what men used to do... or do now. So you lost me here. Your theory is that femenism is a power vacuum women are trying to fill?

[Asker]

women can't be dependent on men anymore because men are essentially USELESS.

[Asker]

you all want stay home wives, but none of you can be decent providers.

all of you want to be men, but none of you can fight

[Stevepro68]

Fighting = man... Sounds like dude thinking. Maybe you are a female maybe you aren't. Still this sounds suspiciously like someone trying to get people worked up a little troll eee. Not really a question. Add in anonymous and I think you are weak trolling. Do better get a life.

[David318578]

Feminism isn't the reaction to all the problems you listed but the cause of all those problems.

When young boys grow up being taught that they need to be a protector and provider then they turn into men that are protectors and providers.

When young boys are taught that masculinity is toxic, and girls can do everything a boy can do and girl bosses are the future, you get a generation of weak men.

Feminism caused this problem.

[Asker]

feminism only rose because women can't rely on men anymore.

notice how I said women CAN'T rely on you since you can do none of the things men traditionally have done for women.

[David318578]

I can do everything, I can weld, woodworking, I have rebuilt engines, transmissions, built a deck, do electrical plumbing, etc.. I own my own business. So your attempt at insulting doesn't work on me.
I'm Gen X so grew up before the attack on Masculinity but witnessed the attack on later generations.
Feminism had nothing to do with not being able to rely on men. it was in essence women wanted to be equal to men, they wanted to work instead of being a housewife.
The problem is men and women are different, and women struggled to compete in the workplace with men. making women more masculine didn't work because men are just naturally better at it. So they decided to attack masculinity and raised a generation of weak men so women could compete.

The problem with attacking masculinity is that doesn't make women better, it just makes the world worse.

[jahaims]

Its propaganda to get females to earn taxable income and then spend more as well. When you buy items they are taxed as well. Imagine if 50% of your population doesn't work then you get them too. It breaks up family units as well which makes the population easier to manipulate.

[Anonymous]

Because what feminism is today is not what it was intended to be. It's now about dividing the sexes and shaming men, like you're doing here. In short, people hate feminism today because of women like you. Well done.

[Asker]

Why shouldn't men be shamed? haver you taken a look at how men downgraded so much over the years. women do everything nowadays. Women have to work full time jobs then have to come home to do 90% of the housework and child care

why do you think women initiate 70% of all divorces?

[Opinion Owner]

Thanks for confirming you're a modern feminist, and underscoring why normal women like me can no longer identify with the feminist movement. Great job fucking it up for the sane majority.

[Asker]

@OPINION OWNER

women would only have to be feminists if men can't step up to the plate. just the truth...

[Asker]

women can't be dependent on men anymore because men are essentially USELESS.

[Asker]

you expect to do nothing for women and YET you want women to respect and like you?

oh hell no.

[Opinion Owner]

You're apparently not bright enough to realize it, but all you're doing here is reinforcing the common perception of modern feminism as man hating misandrists. Thanks for ruining the movements for the rest of us who can no longer feel good about identifying with the feminist label.

[Asker]

@opinion owner

how do you expect women to respect you if you have nothing to offer?

[Asker]

I don't hate men at all. But when you have absolutely nothing to contribute to women, meanwhile expecting women to work full time jobs then come home to do 90% of the housework.

I'm sorry but you do deserve to be hated.

[Asker]

men hate working women

but

HE CAN'T SUPPORT A FAMILY

so...

how does that make sense?

[Opinion Owner]

What planet do you live on? Here on Earth there are countless men who contribute plenty to their families and to society. How can you sit here and say men are worthless and don't contribute out of one side of your mouth, and then whine about the gender pay gap out of the other side. How are men worthless when they are out-earning women by a huge margin? Hmm?

Men financially support their families, they are fathers to their children and husbands to their wives, they build and maintain the physical world we live in, they protect us from criminals and foreign threats... the list goes on and on. Do you not see what a bitter, self-loathing misandrist you come off as here? You make all women look bad, and especially feminists. You fuck everything up for the rest of us.

You don't hate men? LMAO, of course you do. That's clear to everyone here. Grow up and be a better person. It's a choice.

[Cormac995]

Say you're a sexist without saying you're a sexist. Another brain dead idiot bitching about something she's never been affected by.

[Cormac995]

We didn't back out and leave everything up to you. We told you to do your half of the work and now you're bitching. Don't like equal responsibilities? Guess you didn't want equal rights then either after all.

[Asker]

there aren't equal responsibilities. women work full time jobs to come home to do 90% of the housework and child care. this is why women initiate 70% of all divorces.

[Cormac995]

I don't know what world you're living in but being so delusional must be nice. It's let's yu be a narcissist without feeling like a POS. Maybe men don't complain about feminism maybe they complain about you? You're whole post came out the gate swinging with sexist man hate. It's one thing to bring up a womans issues but you know how I know you're a sexist and not a feminist? Feminism is building woman up sexism is tearing men down but apparently you needed that mansplained as a feminist. You can bring up legitimate issues without being a bitch but you came out the gate screaming at all men in general. How is it sexist if a man says all woman do this and suck but you do the same for us and it's fine? Can you not see the ridiculous double standard? Woman like you are why the word Bitch exists.

[Anonymous]

Because today's feminism is a joke.

Most feminist movements do nothing but spit hatred towards men, today's feminists want gender equality at their convenience, just privileges and that's it.

[Asker]

maybe it has to do with the fact that men can no longer provide or protect. thats why they hate you.
Just the same way you hate on career women.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Because when life has been set up to be in favor of one specific group, equality can feel unfair.

[Asker]

favor for 1 specific group?

do you realize that women are the least happy group in today's society?

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Yeah, I’m not sure you understand what I’m saying. No one complains about feminism more than men

[DrPepper12]

Because mostly men are terrified of things they don't understand. These are usually the same people who couldn't locate a clitoris if they had a fucking roadmap.

[Twalli]

Feminism isn't a problem. The problem is misandrists have taken over it and say they're feminists. That's the issue with it. Misandry is mischaracterized as feminism.

[Asker]

so what? plenty of misogynists on GAG. I don't see anyone complaining about them.

[Twalli]

It's why people dislike what is perceived as feminism.

[blackeagle007]

Feminism is the reason for disconnect between men and women feminism encourages women to be masculine. Act like men. I don’t get it either, would women be ok if we acted like them?

[Asker]

women would only need to be masculine if their men weren't masculine enough

just the same way women would never have to work if their husband could adequately provide for their families.

everyone keeps saying why women aren't feminine enough.

WHY AREN'T MEN MASCULINE ENOUGH?

[blackeagle007]

Because you don’t want us to be.

[Anonymous]

People complain about feminism because it is about hating men at its core. You're a great example of that fact.

[Asker]

i don't hate men actually.

[Opinion Owner]

Of course you don't, lmao.

You're a typical man-hating feminists whose actions and words demonstrate she hates men, and yet she denies it. Pathetic.

[Anonymous]

I am rich and I don't complain about feminism

[Notherndude84]

I don’t completely accept that.

[Asker]

men never accept the truth

[seeyounexttuesday]

lol. That's hilarious.
