There is a remarkable discrepancy between the textbook definition of feminism and the actions of those who call themselves feminists. Many people fail to grasp the fact that a movement is defined by the actions of its members.
I have never been a feminist and never will be. I refuse to associate myself with a movement that works twice as hard to tear down men as it does to actually help women. And Iām tired of being told that Iām a bad person because I donāt agree with the actions of the feminist movement.
And why donāt I agree? Well. Most of the things feminism teaches are inaccurate at best, and straight-up lies at worst.

I could go on and on, but if Iām being completely honest, I have very little faith that youāll actually make an attempt to educate yourself. After all, you didĀ just go into a 16 year oldās Tumblr inbox and tell them that theyāre a piece of shit because they donāt agree with your ideology. And in case youāre missing the irony in that, I ought to point out that your intolerance towards an opinion that differs from your own is the very definition of bigotry.
