I'm just tired of it all. Continue arguing and wake me up when it's all done.
DISCLAIMER
Before this blows up in my face I want to say this: I'm not against equal rights at all. I believe everyone should treat each other nicely and the same blah blah blah. But personally, as the piece of scum straight, white cisgendered middle class male that I am, I think that a movement needs to focus on everyone's issues. Male mental health, court bias and male suicide included.
I'm well aware that many of you lovely feminists are concerned about these issues, however when you align yourself under the same banner as "Feminazis" (like that red haired chick idk who the fuck she is. Needs a slap), and then try and say "they aren't real feminists" it simply becomes an internal argument of what a feminist actually is. This, in my opinion is stupid. Instead of trying to remove the stigma of feminism these misandrists have created, make it easier in yourselves and just form or align yourselves under a different banner. Egalitarians, for example.
but to be honest I doubt this post will do anything at all. Probably just get down voted into the fiery pits of Edward Macaroni Fork hell.
TL;DR - We get it, men are terrible but we have our own problems too. Removing the stigma of feminism is pointless. Start over.
Have a wonderful day you magnificent bastards :)

Why compromise when you can play race/pity/gender cards and try to get triggered off some shit I had nothing to do with?

Confession or rant?

You need to stop caring about other people think.

"Feminists" are chasing an image. Egalitarians who for some reason call themselves feminist need a wake-up. People need to stop being shit.

You people should have your own little feminist churces, where you have your own safe spaces and rant about made up struggles.

I'm tired of hearing that feminism = "men are terrible." I like equal rights, AND men! Wow!

Just live a good life and call out real BS inequality when you see it.

As a white middle class male, they are right to be jealous, this is friggin' sweet.

I can't. I don't support felon gun ownership rights, but I support gun ownership rights to everyone else.

Don't you know? Egalitarians are horrible misogynist just hiding it.
DasHammer
Its really annoying how everyone assumes the radical feminist to represent the whole. We do it for everything so there is never progress

Feminism is just like any other religion. The biggest downside is the most vocal portion.

Glad to see this shit finally catching on. Feminism is just a useless social title.
aflarge
Describe yourself with adjectives, not affiliations. These social titles are so messy and imprecise. They're just tribal distractions.
aflarge
Without any sense of orthodoxy, all it means is "voluntarily affiliates with everyone else who uses the title."
aflarge
Unless they use the dictionary definition, in which case it's just unnecessary "Hey guys I'm not a sexist guys look at me!" posturing.

several politicians (all women sobviously) in my country pointed out mens issue. I think we are at 4th generation feminism:egality - in west
RawSuger
which is really tough actually. fixing inequality is obvious but finding balance while allowing differences is delicate business

They can't re-brand into Egalitarians, because it's not about equality, but Women's rights & privileges. Only.

See mate this is the problem, I truly believe it isn't, but people like that exist and call themselves feminists
thisisprocrastination
They ARE feminists...The Wbc ARE Christians. Osama WAS a muslim. When you claim they aren't, you're just playing true Scotsman.

That's part of the issue,men like you (and I) have the privilege to decide "I don't care" and women do not.Don't give up man!We can all help
TeaIsForMugs
I still care about equal rights, but as far as I'm concerned feminism is the great hamster wheel of our time. The argument never ends
bbdroll5000
It's understandable to be frustrated,many people are annoying,but the fact that you care about equal rights goes a long way,so keep it up!
