I might not be reading it right, but to me the post sounded very sarcastic. That may be because I usually read jezebel and kind of understand their tone. Also, they've mentioned distasteful uses of violence against men in comedy, so I do think it is odd. However, I do find very disappointing some of the comments from women, because if you pretended that they were all men, then I think it would put a really bad taste in those commenters mouths.

I'm just amazed by the number of people this crazy...seriously, re-using an old condom...that's just stupid.

So, if what you truly believe in is equality, why even call yourself a feminist in the first place? This is a question I've been thinking about for awhile now. How useful is it to call yourself a feminist if feminism can mean so many negative things to so many people... I guess for me, it's because the people I have been exposed to that have brought up issues of gender-inequalities generally identify themselves as feminist. These people are people who are more interested in challenging unfair so…

Thanks for the link. That is a very helpful conversation and one that has been going around in my mind for awhile. How useful is it to call yourself a feminist when saying that word might get you labeled as a female supremacist rather than a gender equalityist (I definitely made up that last word, but I'm sure you get my point)?

Thanks, I was trying to figure that out and appreciate someone explaining it to me.

At the same time, it could have been the train wreck effect--you just can't look away.

I agree...it's just sad. Like really, the idea that they are representative of all women kind is just so wrong.

the problem is that if you actually look at what they do and say, it more often than not is directly counter to that claim. This has been something that I have really started to examine, and has been a great jumping off point for me. I have seen feminists approach subjects in a non-equality way. For the most part though, in my daily experience this has not been the case. So for me, it becomes more about talking with the people who seem to be more interested in discussing gender equality and reco…

I joined r/mensrights because I am a feminist and I was really interested in what MRAs had to say. Feminism to me has always been about gender equality and looking at the world in a different way. Growing up in a household of girls it was very interesting. Unlike some people might surmise, men did not get trashed on for doing things because they were men. And when my sisters were being kinda bitchy it wasn't because they were on their period and got an excuse to act like a bitch. (Honestly, the …

That's what I got out of it too. I thought it could be something really constructive instead of just trying to blame things on one specific group of people.

I think definition 2 should be number one. Usually when people talk about rape they are talking about it in the context of a female victim, but having that be the number one definition that people refer to in their heads warps the entire conversations that people have about rape.

Why do you think that is? Do you see it as a lack of education about the topic? Or do you see it as an actual resistance?

After going over to r/feminisms, I think if you went over there now, you would see posts that are examining the way women are treated in society. I cannot speak for all of these articles posted to these subreddits, but I do not think that these reddits are about pointing out how heinous men are, maybe more of how society is structured leads to a lot of latent misogyny and is not fair to women. Being fair to women does not mean being unfair to men. I will agree that in r/2x there are times when m…

is that "and" supposed to be an "in"? If so, is this comment supposed to be sarcastic?

I really do not think that the author attributing the drive to get "male sexuality" to feminisim is correct. I really do not think that it is a feminsit view that a man needs to be controlled. I think the feminist view would be that if either partner does not agree with the sexualiy choices of the other partner, then either as a couple they need to find a way to deal with it that would suit both partners, or somebody needs to move on. I really do not think that trying to control the amount of se…

That's definitely what I meant. When I wrote that I did not think of different connotations besides physical strength, but I should have specified.

I don't think that being equal means being the same, at least not in this sense. As a whole, men are stronger than women as a whole. However, men and women need each other to survive. I think it's a disservice to argue that one needs another more. I think part of the whole question of equality, is asking to recognize that women can (ad do) play an equally important role in society. So based on contributions, even if they are different, women as a whole can or should be able to play as equally im…

I think you are completely discounting any role that women ever played. Raising children and maintaining a home is a very large task, and of course helped in the empire building that you are speaking of. Sure, we would not have empires if men weren't around, but they wouldn't be there if women weren't either. I think your perspective goes to show how the nurturing role that women have historically played is devalued by society. Why would women (or men) want to be nurturers if they are not seen a…

I've only been on here awhile, but I would agree that this doesn't have anything to do with men's rights. Men's rights should not be about trying to discredit female rights as unnecessary. Also, a lot of the points made in that video seem to reinforce bad gender stereotyping. The same gender stereotyping that gives men the short end of the stick on sexual harassment, domestic violence and divorce.

The oppression of women may have given them things that can be seen as privileges. However, I do not think that it discounts female oppression at all. It seems almost like a grass in greener argument. If you had all the rights/privileges that men had during that time (and still do today), then it might seem like women had it pretty well off. Yes, some women felt very content with their status an privileges because it worked for them. However, for other women in that society, those privileges rea…

I'm wondering how one would go about trying to correct the legal system so false rape accusations could be easily discredited without discouraging women who have been raped from coming forward. I'm all for some sort of reform, but has there been much discussion about how this can be done without completely ignoring or discouraging women who do need that support? Might the way women are always seen as the victim also be from existing gender stereotypes about who can be the victim. Do you thing th…

I feel like anything about Tyra Banks should start off like that. Definitely sad to see that she didn't take a more complex look at the issue. Probably not something her viewers would be interested in.

I do not know if I agree with him that the best way to stop false rape charges is by making the sentence more severe. I don't advocate letting anyone off the hook, but it is kind of the same issue of trying to convict men for rape. When the law system reformed to making harsher punishments for rape, juries were less likely to convict those who probably had raped. I think making the sentence harsher for those who falsely accuse wouldn't be a deterrent, because the people who falsely accuse are ob…

I think we might have differing definitions of feminism. I see feminisim being about equality, and also being a sort of critque to mainstream culture. A lot of time in mainstream culture there is a devaluation of the nurturing role that women have traditionally taken, and, yeah I have a problem with that. At the same time, I in no way believe that women are some how inherently better than men or should be in competition with men for better access to resources. I think articles like this one are …

I was initially put off by this post because I do think rape is a serious problem. However, after reading the article I can definitely agree with points the author is making. Consent can be a tricky thing if you aren't sure about how you feel, and I don't think that anyone should be forced into sex, but making a mistake is different from being raped. I appreciate that the author distinguished the school of thought for unwanted consensual sex being rape as part of extreme feminism. I would encour…

Yeah, I hate it when I get that feeling about male female relationships. When either party tries to manipulate the other because they think that is the way relationships work because of social bullshit, that is just wrong. Plus, females who reinforce those stereotypes especially irk me, because I do best to make sure that I have equal expectations for my boyfriend as he does for me. I mean really, I just thought people would realize that treating someone else like that just isn't right.

I thought most of these were just common sense/being a decent person.
