You know how feminists always scream NAFALT and expect it to hold? Now look at how they laugh at the “Not All Men” argument, making jokes about it, getting tens of thousands of notes making fun of men who are not horrible people.

At the same time they fight gender roles and the idea that gender has anything to do with how people act. And that much is true, gender has nothing to do with anything.

And yet to be a feminist you have to have the same set of ideals as the next feminists, at least for the most part.

So it definitely would be far more accurate to say all feminists are the same than it would be to say all men are the same because being a feminist is a choice and being a man is not.

You can’t use ten people to describe an entire community of millions. What if I used a quote by Justin Bieber, Chris brown, Kanye west etc. and used them to describe every musician ever. Obviously you can’t take ten bad examples and ignore the fact that the entire idea of feminism is about equality.

When asked: “You [Greer] were once quoted as saying your idea of the ideal man is a woman with a dick. Are you still that way inclined?“ Dr Greer (denying that she said it): “I have a great deal of difficulty with the idea of the ideal man. As far as I’m concerned, men are the product of a damanged gene. They pretend to be normal but what they’re doing sitting there with benign smiles on their faces is they’re manufacturing sperm. They do it all the time. They never stop. I mean, we women are more reasonable. We pop one follicle every 28 days, whereas they are producing 400 million sperm for each ejaculation, most of which don’t take place anywhere near an ovum. I don’t know that the ecosphere can tolerate it.”

“We are taught, encouraged, moulded by and lulled into accepting a range of false notions about the family.

“Catharine MacKinnon maintains that ‘the private is a sphere of battery, marital rape and women’s exploited labor.’ In this way, privacy and family are reduced to nothing more than aspects of the master plan, which is male domination. Democratic freedoms and the need to keep the state’s nose out of our personal affairs are rendered meaningless. The real reason our society cherishes privacy is because men have invented it as an excuse to conceal their criminality. If people still insist that the traditional family is about love and mutual aid—ideals which, admittedly, are sometimes betrayed—they’re ‘hiding from the truth.’ The family isn’t a place where battery and marital rape sometimes happen but where little else apparently does. Sick men don’t simply molest their daughters, they operate in league with their wives to ‘breed’ them for that purpose.”

“I claim that rape exists any time sexual intercourse occurs when it has not been initiated by the woman, out of her own genuine affection and desire.”

~Robin Morgan

____________________________________________________

“And let’s put one lie to rest for all time: the lie that men are oppressed, too, by sexism—the lie that there can be such a thing as ‘men’s liberation groups.’ Oppression is something that one group of people commits against another group, specifically because of a ‘threatening’ characteristic shared by the latter group—skin, color, sex or age, etc. The oppressors are indeed FUCKED UP by being masters, but those masters are not OPPRESSED. Any master has the alternative of divesting himself of sexism or racism—the oppressed have no alternative—for they have no power but to fight. In the long run, Women’s Liberation will of course free men—but in the short run it’s going to cost men a lot of privilege, which no one gives up willingly or easily. Sexism is NOT the fault of women—kill your fathers, not your mothers”.

And: Another posting on FEMISA: “Considering the nature and pervasiveness of men’s violence, I would say that without question, children are better off being raised without the presence of men.

cis white gay/bi men do not get fetishized

sure they experience homophobia, and get discriminated against for being gay sure, but what they experience is NOT fetishization

the definition of fetishization is when you are REDUCED TO A SEXUAL OBJECT ON SYSTEMIC SCALE, an object that is typically seen as UNWANTED, NONSEXUAL AND EVEN DISGUSTING by a gaze that has the power to REDUCE YOU to a sexual fetish in the eyes of society

straight women do not have the mobility in this society to do this to cis white gay men, who actually in many contexts have more power than them in our society

"Sex in a capitalist society isn’t really sex. Sex involves an act of intimacy between two people. Like an intimate conversation, it could take place between two strangers or two people who know each other well: the intimate conversation could mean a lot to both people or mean very little. But either way, it’s between two human beings who have something to share with each other. But capitalist patriarchy turns sex into a commodity that men obtain to get something else… Robbed of the humanity of communion, sex becomes a mere means to an end, a tool of violence that enables men to achieve domination over an object.”

They feel that men should not be punished for being men, and that women should not be awarded custody to their kids simply for being women. Currently women are awarded primary custody almost all the time, even if the husband was the stay-at-home Dad and the woman was the breadwinner.

Feminists fought against this. You can read NOW’s own statement here. Also note their usage of anti-male lies, i.e. “fathers are abusive, don’t give them custody.” That is from 1997, but still remains valid today.

Men want protection against false rape allegations. They feel that a man’s life should not be ruined simply on the allegation of a woman who may be a vindictive liar. Currently, a woman can accuse a man of rape for no reason, and the man’s name is splashed in the paper and his life is ruined. So, they fought for laws granting men anonymity until charged with the crime of rape—not convicted, just charged.

Feminists fought against this, causing it to fail. Also see here, the London Feminist Network campaigning to defeat the proposal.

“The London Feminist Network is a campaigning organisation uniting London based feminist groups and individuals in activism.”

Men want an end to the justice system favouring women simply because they are women, and giving men harsher sentences simply because they are men.

Feminists fought against this, arguing that no woman should be sent to jail, even women who had murdered multiple people.

Men want equal treatment when victims of domestic violence, and to not be arrested for the crime of “being male” under primary aggressor policies.

Feminists fought against this by trying to suppress evidence showing that half of domestic violence is done by women, by threatening the researchers with bomb threats, death threats, etc. Modern, younger feminists are doing it as well.

And sadly, they were successful in this effort of propaganda. For decades, and continuing today, violent men are (rightfully) convicted and punished by the state, while violent women are left to freely terrorize and harm their partners.

The feminist definition of domestic violence has skewed arrest and prosecution philosophies, resulting primarily in having only male batterers criminally pursued.

Men want female rapists to be arrested, charged, and convicted with rape. In Western countries, women are rarely punished when raping men, due to the biased legal system. In some countries, women cannot be punished when raping men, since rape is defined as a male-perpetrated crime.

Feminists fought against this in India, arguing that “there is a physicality [in] rape” and that it would make things “more complicated for judges.”

Feminists fought against this in Israel, claiming that changing the law would result in men filing false rape claims.

Men don’t want to be thrown in jail because they lost their jobs and temporarily cannot pay child support.

Feminists fought against this, trying to lower the amount to $5000 before a man is guilty of a felony for not paying child support. If a man loses a decent-paying job, he will now be a felon, go to jail, lose his right to vote, AND be unable to find future jobs—if he cannot regain an equal-paying job within a few months.

Men want equal economic support and help from the government. When the recession hit, male-dominated fields like construction lost millions of jobs, while female-fields like education and healthcare gained jobs. So the government proposed an economic stimulus for those fields.

Feminists successfully fought against this, arguing that it was discrimination to support men, and caused the government to give money to women who didn’t deserve it. Hundreds of professional feminists complained against the “sexism” of helping men (who had lost jobs) and not women (who had gained jobs).

A representative of the Michigan National Organization for Women testified in opposition to the Revocation of Paternity Act, which stopped the old law which stated that if a woman was married and cheated on her husband, the resulting child is considered to be legally the husband’s and the biological father had no legal rights to fight for custody or parenting time with his biological child.

As you can see, the claim that feminism fight for men’s rights is a blatant lie. Don’t believe any feminists that say that. Feminists fight for women’s rights. That is a good thing. Feminists also are happy to harm men’s rights, as shown above. That is a bad thing. Feminism is about female privilege, not equality.

Some may argue that these cases of feminists harming men is not “representative” of feminism. I ask you: Are there any cases of feminists helping men? No. Yet, there are many cases of feminists harming men.

It is reasonable to conclude from these facts that feminism fights to harm men.

IS THAT ENOUGH FOR YOU YOU ENTITLED BRAT?

Not addressing the feminism thing because I am not interested, but that yo-yo dieting quote from therougefeminist (I can’t believe I used to follow her), is the most ignorant thing I have read today. Stop trying to blame the food industry for people gaining and losing weight. Also, dieting rarely works because these people hold themselves to these unrealistic expectations to “never eat the junk food” or to go on a specific diet made up of something like milk or some ridiculous thing of that manner. If people actually ate the bad things in moderation and exercised instead of going around like ms. “blame your weight problems on the food industry”, (even though you should know by now that diets advertised on tv are a bunch of bs anyway) then they would lose weight and with enough monitoring and lifestyle changes not gain it back.

But no, let’s just wallow in our self pity and blame all of our actions on thin people, the food commercials, and dumb diets. Amirite? :)

I had to scroll down way too far for this shit..

This is NOT Feminism. It can’t be.. This is having narcissistic values and believing you are better then a male. That they are pigs and worthless. That is NOT what I want to be defined by.

THIS IS WHAT STARTED THE PROBLEM IN THE FIRST PLACE; Men believing they can use, degrade, undermine, sexualize, and underpay women. That all we are good for is household chores, sex, or taking care of children.

We are LITERALLY just making the problem worse.

Feminism is about EQUALITY for both men and women. That women are EQUAL to men, not superior.

Feminism is believing men SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE for their actions of taking advantage of a girl. That we (as women) should have the EXACT SAME RIGHTS AS MEN. That, we aren’t just objects of desire and lust. We have RIGHTS and OPINIONS that deserve to be voiced and taken into consideration. That our ‘hormones’ do not RULE our choice of actions or words. That when we say NO it means fucking no and you need to stop.

That is the definition of feminism I go by. Not that ‘holier-then-thou’ bullshit that has seemed to poison the name of feminist alike.

"This is NOT Feminism. It can’t be.. This is having narcissistic values and believing you are better then a male. That they are pigs and worthless. That is NOT what I want to be defined by.” Well it is feminism. Those people are the face of feminism whether you like it or not. I love how you said “It cant be..” like you were unsure of yourself. Thats beautiful. You’re beginning to become aware.

"THIS IS WHAT STARTED THE PROBLEM IN THE FIRST PLACE; Men believing they can use, degrade, undermine, sexualize, and underpay women. That all we are good for is household chores, sex, or taking care of children.”

Literally what does ANY of that have to do with this post?

“We are LITERALLY just making the problem worse.”

Damn right you are.

“Feminism is about EQUALITY for both men and women. That women are EQUAL to men, not superior.”

No dear, that is what it USED to be about. Not anymore.

“Feminism is believing men SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE for their actions of taking advantage of a girl.”

They already are. Every. Single. Time. And even when there is no proof he still is punished.

“That we (as women) should have the EXACT SAME RIGHTS AS MEN.”

You already do.

“That, we aren’t just objects of desire and lust. We have RIGHTS and OPINIONS that deserve to be voiced and taken into consideration. That our ‘hormones’ do not RULE our choice of actions or words. That when we say NO it means fucking no and you need to stop.”

All of that is already present in our modern society. I mean, look at me. I am a female and the only people who want me to keep silent are feminists.

“That is the definition of feminism I go by. Not that ‘holier-then-thou’ bullshit that has seemed to poison the name of feminist alike.”

In the end it doesnt matter what kind of feminism you are doing, what matters is that the feminists changing laws are definitely hurting men. And that is bad.

This post is more ironic after a decade and change of things like Schrodinger’s Rapist, the M&M’s analogy, or the Man or Bear int he woods question.

Not to mention how often feminists generalize from a small amount of men who do or say bad things to men in general.
