but then a few days later when I see them again its like all that progress is forgotten
its... incredibly frustrating and disheartening
Even well meaning feminists add their credibility to the whole spectra of feminism, which works to create discriminatory policies and bring down innocent men for the sake of being men
That's why I'm an anti-feminist
I hear stories from ex feminist women who attempted to 'change the movement from within' who were subsequently 'excommunicated' from their feminist friends
I'm very afraid of losing my entire friend circle that identifies as feminist, so much so that I now refuse to speak with any of them on the subject for fear of how badly the conversation will turn
about a month ago they were talking about Male Suicide rates and how men need more support, which was an unintentional trap because I actually started talking a lot about it with them
but then they all started talking about how happy they were I was comfortable discussing 'feminism' again
and I basically blew up
it was the end of a really stressful month and I just couldn't handle such an obvious male issue being co-opted by the feminist movement
for several weeks I kept getting worried phone calls from them because they are all super worried I'm going to join a Nazi movement
because thats what anti-feminism is to them
I would guess their support would consist of therapy and learning how to be a good man and being ok with yourself while fighting against the patriarchy and the atrocities of your gender, and learning that its ok to be told you are trash because it's a good thing
If you think the dictionary definition of feminism is crazy, you should see what happens when you start calling feminism out - even indirectly - on the definitions of these kinds of words.
Wasn't sure about posting this, but basically the last time I brought this up - holy crap!
I was mobbed by dozens of feminists. https://twitter.com/men_are_human/status/1049586451502047232
Will feminists support changing it? Nope
The npc meme was sent by allah himself to be the perfect definition of these people. "no one cares about men being kidnapped" "well it was men that kidnapped them"... What.
they just make up "sexism is power + prejudice" as a derailing tactic to shut dowsn debate. but it doesnt really mean anything
its not based on anything real, its just a word salad they invented from nothing
They do the same with racism
So, basically, the guy who works at a shop near me who refuses to serve white people - he's not a racist.
Not according to their definition, anyway
Was that person black might I ask?
This logic is actually more poisonous than it sounds because all the racists have to do is point out that they aren't in power....
@Akona I couldn't tell you one way or the other
I know he wasn't white, but this is a friend of mine who told me about him
Regardless - it's still racism no matter what angle it comes from.
It's no more acceptable than if a white guy refuses to serve Asians, or whatever
Yea true. I was just gonna say that black people tend to make that claim often. As a black person you hear that stuff all the time “it’s not racist if they are white”- stuff like that
That sounds a lot like the same old rhetoric you get with every supremacist "It's okay when we do it!" lol
I'm hoping that at some point people may learn that it's never okay. Or, maybe, just stop pretending it is.
It’s absurd
Women utilize “violence” in other ways.
Well it's not really the same convo, but in nonreciprocal domestic violence women are the ones who perpetrate it more often, even if when men do they tend to cause greater injury. So I can see that being true
I think this was a good post that was fairly overlooked/missed
I think people can be too quick to redefine feminism, rather than recognise that many people are badly representing feminism and aren't actually feminists.
