3	No means no, Feminists. Feminists do not really fight for gender equality. your statements are quite bold and broad. what i meant by "couldn't you say this about anything" was that people will often associate themselves with a certain group, but not follow all the "rules" of that group. so these "feminists" are calling themselves feminists, but are more like misandrists. This isn't an accurate description. There are very very few self described feminists who are fighting to find and remove female privilege. i think the…	/r/MensRights	27/07/14 01:48 AM
2	No means no, Feminists. couldn't you say this about anything though? unfortunately there are some outliers and extremists who are gonna go above and beyond the ideal goal that was originally feminism, and make it look bad. but they aren't bad because they're feminists, they're bad because they're insane. i feel like this happens with most groups of people, there are extremists no one likes in all groups. i consider myself a feminist but would love to somehow stop the batshit crazy people that want to strip away men's r…	/r/MensRights	26/07/14 08:08 PM
1	No means no, Feminists. right, i agreed with the statement that in reality a lot of the time "feminist" is unfortunately associated with the extremist, "femi-nazis" in another comment. it does seem like the most default value to have but i think on a subconscious level a lot of people don't have it. we might say we think men and women should be equal in every instance, but still question women in politics when they're competing with men. we may think we believe in equality, but still tend to side with women in custody …	/r/MensRights	26/07/14 08:03 PM
4	No means no, Feminists. you're exactly right, and generally i try to do the same. i think a lot of the overzealous "feminists" get more attention sometimes, if only because it makes for a better story, which makes the group look particularly bad. and as you said with the MRA example, this happens to a lot of groups of people, so i totally understand where the negative views come from	/r/MensRights	26/07/14 03:25 PM
1	No means no, Feminists. i was just pointing out that i can see where people are coming from when they're like "welp, then you're a feminist." the basic feminist value is equality between men and women, so if someone said to me that they hold that value, i'm thinking, at a basic level, okay you're a feminist. i'd never personally interrupt someone and tell them this though. if they say they agree with the definition of feminism and then claim they are not a feminist, that's cool that's your choice. i understand there's …	/r/MensRights	26/07/14 03:04 PM
2	No means no, Feminists. i absolutely agree with your last statement, the actions of those calling themselves feminists are more important than the dictionary definition. i just think it's a shame people get criticized for calling themselves feminists when they're just advocating equality. a lot of people, aka "femi-nazis" or whatever they're called, have ruined the idea of what feminism is really all about	/r/MensRights	26/07/14 02:57 PM
0	No means no, Feminists. i know what you're saying but you can google the word feminism, "the advocacy of women's rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men." equality to men. equality. of course it's pro-female, on the grounds of equality. edit: for me i would identify of course as an egalitarian, but ALSO as a feminist, because i feel there are many aspects of society where women have unfair disadvantages, and ALSO as a MRA, because there are likewise many situations where men are at a di…	/r/MensRights	26/07/14 02:52 PM
-5	No means no, Feminists. it's not nonsense. indeed there are a lot of privileges men do have, but on the flip side there are certainly some privileges women have that men don't as well. i'm just saying the reason "then you're a feminist" is technically a correct response to someone saying "I'm not a feminist but I believe in gender equality" is because that's literally the definition of the word. unfortunately over time a lot of people have misconstrued the meaning and applied it to those who seemingly hate men	/r/MensRights	26/07/14 05:38 AM
1	No means no, Feminists. the reason this happens is because the definition of feminism is supporting the equality between genders	/r/MensRights	26/07/14 03:24 AM
