I feel really persecuted on this site because I’m a guy. I support feminism, but please lay off the attacks on men. I didn’t ask to be born a guy, just like you didn’t ask to be born a girl.
Y’all, come on, now. He didn’t ASK for all that privilege, so we shouldn’t get mad when he swings it about.
There’s one thing that’s been bugging me for a while, and I kinda wanna get people’s opinion on it.
A couple years ago, in my gender studies class, the professor linked us to a video we were supposed to watch and discuss in class the next day. I don’t remember what the video was and so I can’t…
Feminism isn’t about equality. If you can come to grips with that fact… that you were sold a bill of sale on goods that weren’t what they said they were… then hurrah for you.
It’s one of the hardest things a person has to do. It’s right up there with acknowledging it’s pretty unlikely there’s a God.
You’ve been told Feminism is about equality your whole life. Just like people in the rural backwoods have been inundated with the gospel and prayer.
You’ve managed to question all of it, and that’s pretty impressive. I don’t expect you to become an MRA, an egalitarian. Hell, I’d think it was awesome if you became the messiah of the WRM (Women’s Rights Movement), but try to see Feminism for what it is if you can.
AND MY FIRST AND ONLY (as of this moment) REPLY IS FROM AN MRA BLOG
yes that was an excellent explanation u made that very clear thanx
Well, I tried… but it appears your hatred and contempt got the better of you.
That’s called “ignorance”, and it’s unforgivable.
When did you ever try? All you did was basically infer I was a misguided idiot who doesn’t know what feminism “really” is without offering any explanation whatsoever.
Feminism is, by definition, a movement that fights for equal rights regardless of gender, so if it’s not about equality, then please do enlighten me because apparently every educated source, even the Oxford Dictionary itself seems to be misguided.
Cookie points for the atheism though, I’m right up there with you on that one.
Feminism is, by definition, a movement that fights for equal rights regardless of gender… DESPITE MULTIPLE FUCKING SOURCES SPECIFICALLY SAYING IT’S NOT THAT.
More importantly… the ACTIONS of Feminism betray that ideal.
Oh, and your OXFORD DICTIONARY definition? Let’s look at that:
noun
See anywhere in there where it says anything about bringing men up to the level of women?Anything at all? ANY TEENY BIT? No? Not at all? Funny that.“Up” to the level of women that’s so cute.
Maybe those sources specify the equality of women to men is because, oh I don’t know, women are more oppressed.
Whether the wording is bringing women equal to men or men equal to women, equality is equality. If anyone told you feminism is about misandry, they were wrong and need to be educated.
Up to the level of women…
Like in Education… where boys and men are woefully behind.
In suicide help and prevention… where boys and men are OVERWHELMINGLY the victims of suicide.
In prison sentencing… where boys and men get often upwards to 40% harsher sentences even for the same crime. One judge discovered that females were *explicitly* (i.e. it named females specifically) to get lighter sentences than males for committing the same crime. And Feminists are actively working to shut down prisons in the UK. You can guess which gender.
In access to government programs and services.
In likelihood to die on the job.
In access to voting rights (here in the US if I don’t agree to die at the governments behest I can’t vote. They can also execute me under the right conditions). Females do not have that concern.
Chopping off a chunk of my cock is perfectly legal. How about your genitals?
And the fact that I don’t even have the right to know I am a father? I have *zero* reproductive rights. None. I’m not even talking about abortion. I’m talking about how a woman can just not tell me I have a child, or lie and tell me it is… and I have no rights regardless.
But sure. Whatever.
AHAHAHHAHAHAHA.
My grinchy black heart throbs with every masculinist tear.
I think equality is great but there are some people that instead of trying to get men and women to be equal are just trying to get female superiority like those racist supremacist people. Like, that’s not equal.
Also, I hate how people ignore that men aren’t treated equally in some areas. Like,…
AHAHAHAHAAHHAAHAH.
The poor mens.

I really like the way girls’ bodies are shaped. I like how girls’ faces are shaped too. I like how girls tend to have soft, rounded, and curvy features. I like skinny girls too but I also like how even skinny girls have some soft and curvy features.
It makes me sad when girls feel insecure about…
Aw shit, man. Bodies are awesome. But this…I don’t even know….paean to girls’ bodies and bunnies? Just….BAAAAAAAAAAAAAARF.
Hang on, I’ve still got some organs in there - be right back.
HORK, HORK, HORK, SPLAAAAAAAAT.
There we go. Where was I? Right: GROSS. Stop it stop it stop it stop it! Also please stop talking about girls, because it’s getting a pedo vibe, for real. Also please stop comparing us to rabbits. Rabbits are cute, but just NON. Also please stop thinking we need protecting like you’re some white knight.
You know what, actually? JUST FULL STOP.
I found this message really upsetting.
I wrote this message to this person because I saw that they had posted something about how even rare or isolated cases of harassment can have lasting negative impacts on women, placing them constantly on edge. I really empathized with what this person…
Hoooooo boy. Where to even begin with this shit. Um, first of all, HILARIOUS. Second of all, THANK GOD he took it upon himself to let her know A MAN cared about her! I can’t tell you how many times a day I would get severely depressed if I didn’t have Nice Guys telling me to smile or indicating that they gave a shit (by which I mean: saw me as a disposable, hole-filled object for their fleeting attentions). AMIRITE LADIES?
And, oh, there are not enough tiny violins in the universe to play the sad melody for the injustice - THE INJUSTICE! - of him having to feel bad (seriously, y’all, he feels bad) because sexism and rape culture make women perceive him as a potential threat. Y’all, HE WOULD COME TO OUR DEFENSE! Although maybe not if the dude was really, you know, big and scary.
I mean, there’s a shit ton here to rip to shreds, but I’m about to stroke out from rage. Time for kittens!
I’m glad his butt hurts.
APPLAUSE.
(that picture is brilliant.)
omfg, that mouth is perfect. breathtaking. brilliant.
