So the little girl I babysit is spending the night and I told her I still had lil cal( I worked on him while I spent nights at her house, and she and her brother thought it was cool). She’s cuddling in bed with him now.. I’m not really sure if this makes me a quality guardian or not…

Whenever a dude says “I hate feminists” what they really mean is “I hate women, especially ones who have opinions that challenge my superiority”
Hate of feminists is just misogyny. Plain and simple. You can spin is however you want, but that’s what…
Very valid points! And it’s not that I just hate feminism out right, I hate the movement, because so many feminists I have encountered A: do not acknowledge Women of Colour B: Do not care for men’s issues (Like child support or custody, And false rape charges) and C: Most of them actually hate Trans* Women. I don’t support the MRA Either, because both movements are severely one gendered, and one raced. I am an Equalist, because I believe in equality for all. I do thank god for earlier feminists, who got me my right to vote, and etc, but now, do we really need it now a days? Things seem to be in favour for women, than any other group, and as a white woman in middle class america, I can say, I am not oppressed at all. (Sexist ass hats aside.) (IE: The patriarchy hates women, but passes laws and bills so women are treated better: In this case, lets talk about how the definition of rape only applies to men?) ,
Ugh, do not get me started on the Janice G. Raymond’s of the feminist movement. As someone who is trans* and has heard that shit from people, agreed. Feminism shouldn’t be something that should only apply to cis, upper class white women but unfortunately that’s what some people continue to think of it as, and it result in a lot of shitty treatment and misrepresentation. On some of these points, however, I’m going to have to respectfully disagree. While there is current legislation aimed at ‘equality’, It’s not good enough. Take the Lilly Ledbetter fair pay act of 2009. All that’s really done is amended the amount of time in which you can file an equal pay lawsuit. They don’t have to pay you equally, they just made it so the statute of limitations resets with every paycheck that displays the same amount of pay discrimination. The reason rape is something that is seen that only applies to men in reference to women, is due to the lack of prioritization/ acknowledgement of female sexuality. Think about every sex scene you’ve seen in a movie (yes its fake but still). The man is always shown as satisfying both himself and the woman, while the woman is thought of as being supplementary. Though its just an example, think about the amount of information we’ve got in reference to male sexuality in comparison to female sexuality. Anyway, people think that women can’t and don’t rape people because men are seen as the one’s being in control. How can a woman dominate over a man, someone so much stronger than she is? Yes it’s wrong, but this is the belief a lot of people have and continue to perpetuate (though there are other reasons I think you get the idea.) One of the biggest mistakes people make is thinking we don’t need feminism. Things are so much better for women than they were before, but, can i ask you to try something? The next time you’re at a store, or a newstand or wherever, somewhere that carries magazines..look through a few of them, and pay attention to the ads. Sports illustrated is always a good one to go through, so’s Cosmo, etc. The media likes to tell you that you’re only worth is how good you look/ how close you adhere to a really narrow set of criteria called the beauty ideal, but another thing they love to do, is promote the objectification of women. Essentially, women’s bodies are broken down and made a part of a product they’re trying to sell. Only it doesn’t happen with women, yeah it’s most prevalent with female bodies but objectification of men is increasing as well. Even these ads are sufficient. The women in these pictures are no longer shown as people. Their bodies are represented as props for the product being sold. Like that protein shake add..does her booty REALLY have anything to do with a protein shake? And this. The woman here is part of the landscape, her only purpose is to provide a surface for the person (who is assumed to be male as this ad is from the swimsuit edition of sports illustrated, which aimed toward a male audience…) to drive on and explore. There are so many examples it’s ridiculous, and equally ridiculous is that people just accept the idea that “everyone does it, so it must be okay”. What the media also likes to do, is tell people (but women in particular) that being
(sexually) objectified like this is empowering. When a woman is portrayed as a sex object, they’re often told that being a sex object is a good thing. They’re told that they’re actually the ones in power and that, by being submissive, they can use that to control the man who is objectifying them. This results in women letting themselves be treated as objects because they’re being fed ideas like, “if i do this, i can have any man i want at my feet” and so on.
All of that aside, look at how people are socialized. Girls are raised to be quiet, appear as small as possible/ take up the least amount of space. Have you ever heard “oh well that’s not very ladylike!”about something you did, yet saw a boy do the same thing but not hear a word about it? Or constantly told when you grew up that you’d eventually get married to a nice man, have some kids, and ,you can have a job sure, but your primary concerns should be raising your kids and making sure your man is happy (by cooking for him, making sure the house is spotless, etc.)? I don’t know about you, but this is the type of steaming horseshit I was fed growing up. And subsequently reprimanded for questioning it. I’m glad we can agree to disagree (sort of, you do have some very good, valid points), but until people are truly equal, I don’t think we’ll ever stop needing feminism. (also the cisgender, heteronormative bits were intentional because that’s how a large chunk of society views these things I don’t want to misrepresent anyone here just putting that out there)

Well, I hate femenists too, and yah know what? I’m a woman! Yah know why I hate femenists? Because of shit like the above. It itsn’t misogyny when you say you hate a certain group, and for good reasons. Do you ever stop to think, that, there is radfems that give Feminists a bad name? Same with the MRA. You’ve got bad apples that spoil the whole fucking movement for others. Until you learn that, you, my dear, have no say on whats misogyny or not. So in retrospect, what you just said was misandry, and sexists towards men, and women, because obviously, women can’t hate other women, and men just can’t hate a movement thats pointless in the first place? -Prideful Bi.
While it’s true that there are certain members of a group that ruin it for everybody(homestuck fandom, you know what i’m talking about), hatred of an entire movement, though hardly justifiable, is just something that happens. The entire point of feminism, and intersectionalism in particular, is equality for EVERYONE. Saying that feminism is “a movement that is entirely pointless in the first place” is so very far from actuality. Do you enjoy having the right to vote? You can thank Alice Paul, Lucy Burns and the scores of other Women’s rights activists that nearly died in the process of making that a reality. What OP is saying here is perfectly understandable, and here’s why. Our patriarchal form of society employs something called systems of privilege, and to make things simple..if you are an able bodied, white, heterosexual cis male, you have the most power in that society. Women, as well as People of Color, LGBTQ, people of various abilities, etc. are not inherently privileged by society and as such, they are considered lesser. Keeping that in mind, the feminist movement IS something that is heavily stigmatized in society because it promotes the idea of doing away with the patriarchy, and, as we know, once someone is in power they don’t want anything to jeopardize that. The view that OP is conveying is legitimate here, and there is nothing inherently misandric about it. OP is simply pointing out how messed up it is that there are men that DO feel this way, and that yes, it is misogynistic because “how dare this woman think she can crawl up out of her place and try to tell ME what i should do..i hate that she thinks she can do this and i hate HER for doing it”. Nowhere in that post is OP saying that they hate men. Feminism has gotten us so far already, but it’s not something that’s “pointless”. If more people embraced feminism, we wouldn’t live in the fucking rape culture we do now, women would have equal pay AND wouldn’t have to worry about losing their jobs if they want to have kids, LGBTQ people and People of color wouldn’t have to deal with being discriminated against and being murdered for just walking down the street. I could keep going, but I’m sorry to hear that you disagree.
