^^ Feminism is literally the belief in equal rights for all genders. Don't believe in feminism? Then you're sexist. It's very black and white.
Feminists can go crazy truth be told, there's always extremists. However, you can't say women don't deserve equal rights because of extremists, just like we can't say all men are ignorant rapists because of a website.
I understand. It's like sexual predators preying so that women don't get preyed upon. Which makes no sense and is absolutely horrific. I believe women already have equal rights and are now wanting a larger portion of the pie. People claim fake rahpe cases and some innocent men get convicted because a woman claimed so. Did you read my article? You wouldn't be so feminist then. I agree lots of horrific deeds take place but you got to understand misandry is creeping in. To conclude, I believe women have a higher place in society than men nowadays. Where's your equality now?
A higher place? Seriously? We are still underpaid and employers hire a woman with children less then a man with children. A higher place my ass.
Not sure why that cut off my reply, but that article shows exactly your comment is so untrue. INDIVIDUAL women may be higher up than INDIVIDUAL men, but as an average, men have so much more power. The results would be astronomical if that article just compared women CEOs to all men CEOs. 68% of rape cases go unreported. 2% of rapists go to jail. While it may be true that some women file false charges, I find it hard to believe that the number of these women outnumber the amount of true charges that are ignored. Besides, victim blaming is still very prevalent in our society. The majority of women wouldn't want to have to suffer through overwhelming hatred and shame for a lie. While I'm not saying that misandry doesn't exist, I am saying that feminism is more common and actually needed.
I agree with your views about pay discrimination and there are some aspects of chauvinism that need to be targeted. But the extremists make your points lost in the struggle to comprehend their nonsense. Granted, they may be a small portion but it's stupid. Yes, the number of rape cases are horrifying but it's so much harder to take seriously when someone lies about something as serious as this. This happened in India actually. A guy was flogged to death and castrated based on a rape complaint. A week later, they find out it's false. The public just tore him apart in mob rage. Some rapes do go unreported but as we are having a fair and rational argument, the conclusion that such lies go unreported is inescapable. Oh and there was some pair of sisters in the world blackmailing men for money with the threat that they would file a false rape complaint. As you know the punishment for rapists in most Asian and European countries is severe now. Maybe the number of rape cases are more than the false ones or vice versa. But it's hard to decide. All I'm trying to drive home is that misandry exists to and please don't pretend that it doesn't.
This isn't about feminism or going against men though. It's simply about rape being used as a tool and rape being justified which is wrong. Bad things happen to all people because of their gender or orientation and it shouldn't.
Wow. The ignorance here (the actual POSTS) is astounding. As a proud FEMINIST (thank you Fallen for that definition), and recipient of one degree in gender studies, I instinctively want to attack every incorrect statement made in this thread... but I don't have that kind of time atm (I'll try to come back later). Just sign and share the damn petition. Discussing your ridiculous views on women's supposed "equal status" doesn't have a place on this particular thread.
These are my views. It's open to debate. Maybe my views are flawed but telling me why would help change my ideologies? And for the record, feminism is okay but not misandry.
What you just said is the most insanely idiotic thing I have ever heard. At no point in your incoherent rambling response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. We are all now dumber for having listened to it.
I'll just ignore a certain comment because I usually lash back pretty hard. And yes, let's not stray off topic. I'll just conclude that feminist rights are being oppressed in places which doesn't justify misandry either. I love to debate for some reason And back to topic, please sign the petition ^-^(Atleasr this thread got a bit more attention which it deserves) P.S: I lul'd at the pic XD
