Apparently, awareness about "Violence against Women" is misogynist.

She is right, in a way. If you have seen girlrightswhat?! Then you know that feminism is simply an extension of the same system that has always been in place. Women thought to be weaker, frailer, more emotional, and therefore need special protection. Feminism does not fight this, they only claim that they do. Where as the "patriarchy" they claim to fight against uses these notions to keep women from achieving their goals, feminism uses these same notions to benefit women, and then claim that when men do it its "benevolent sexism".

Women are weaker, therefore it should be easier for them to get in the military. Women are more emotional, therefore they shouldn't be punished as harshly. Women are frail, therefore a violence against women is especially heinous. Women are too sensitive, therefore workplaces need to make rules to keep them from being offended.

These are feminist notions.

It infantilizes women (or at least that is my perception) as if we are special targets

Muhahahahaha! Yes that was the MRMs secret evil reason for pushing VAWA and the Duluth model and hate crime laws while fighting to shut down men's shelters and have male domestic abuse not taken seriously.

To infantilize women and keep them weak.

Wait no, it was feminists who pushed all those things.

Even though men get physically and sexually abused by women just as much as women do by men yet it is either underreported or dismissed, which is a byproduct of patriarchy.

Even though blacks get physically and sexually abused by whites just as much as whites do by blacks yet it is either underreported or dismissed, which is a byproduct of the black political dominance.

The thing is that women don’t actually hurt or abuse men as much as men do to them. More than 90 percent of sexual assaults are men assaulting women.

The thing is sexual assault isn't every kind of assault and we just finished talking about how men are more likely to not report or have their reports dismissed so . . .

And violence against women perpetrated by men is much more likely to be based on the patriarchy and various sexist aspects of our culture. In fact, violence against women itself is one feature of our sexist culture.

Whereas the far more prevalent violence against men is proof that men are privileged.

Honestly, the girl (kinda) has the right idea.What she failed to mention was that, along with misogynistic, it was also misandrist.

Oh the irony.

I love the other tumblr who spouts the "90% of sexual/domestic violence is men -> women" garbage in reply.

She's right. Victim feminism is fundamentally misogynist by denying women agency.

Relevant: When feminism debates itself: agency for me but not for thee

Sounds like a person that would be open to a reasonable discussion.

Honestly, I think the best way to get feminists to adopt MRM positions is to have ideas like this take hold in the feminist community. If feminists launch an all-out war on "benevolent sexism", they would do a lot of the work of the MRM.
