"10 reasons feminism is good for men" -> Or, How to use incorrect data and stereotypes to try to convince people of a reality not supported by data/experience

It’s true–she’s more than a uterus, yo.

This sounds like it was written by a fifty-year-old trying to talk to a twenty-year-old "in his language."

Edit: Also, I notice that over half of these are based on the whole "wage gap" thing...

This article reminds me of the infamous "This is What Feminism Looks Like" video.

I find it very telling that feminists are starting to feel compelled to actively recruit using PR tactics such as these.

Wassamatter grrrls? Ranks getting a little thin?

SlimThugga · 2011-09-21T19:38:48+00:00

I just LOVE the condescending tone of it, you can see it between each pair of words really, it's like: "u man, so u stupid, i explain slow and simple for u because u stupid, feminism is good, beer and hotdogs, u like beer dont u huhuhu, feminism is beer and hotdogs"

TheTyger · 2011-09-21T19:57:27+00:00

These arguments sound great, where can I support this "fem-in-iz-um" thing? All I have to do is treat women like people and not objects? Sign me up. I would love to have my wife work all day, while I am at a swim up bar, come home to Steak and Beer, and then have great sex.

anna727 · 2011-09-21T22:56:17+00:00

lol I like the guy who posted an actual study done by the department of labor disproving her wage gap, to which she responds she hasn't read it, then posts a TIME magazine article as a "credible source" to back her argument. lolwut????

colourofawesome · 2011-09-21T18:40:20+00:00

I especially like how it assumes, 3 times, that the woman in your life isn't getting paid enough because she's a woman.

Granted it's meant to be humourous, so I trake to take stuff like this with a grain of salt.

Davethe3rd · 2011-09-21T20:32:06+00:00

I love how the tone of this article suggests that all men are louts that couldn't do any of these things without women doing it for them...

kragshot · 2011-09-21T21:56:41+00:00

Real cute post...the moment folks began to tear her argument apart, she decides to put a warning about what posts she will not allow....

That's your feminism dollars at work....

matt_512 · 2011-09-21T22:22:47+00:00

Women drive race cars (not well, mind you, and they have to look sexy doing it, but still).

Probably a troll, most feminists would rail against this kind of thing.

Alanna · 2011-09-21T18:53:52+00:00

1) Better sex? I'm pretty sure feminism is pro female sexuality, and very much anti male sexuality. How about that dear colleague letter? Throwing innocent men in jail for consensual hookups is really pro sex. rolls eyes. Encouraging females to be promiscuous while punishing men who do the same isn't pro sex.

2) I don't think the author understands how math works. There is only a finite amount of money for salaries. I'll humor her and pretend the wage gap exists; equalizing salaries doesn't mean more money for everyone. It means the same amount of money for everyone. Sorry guys, no steaks and craft beer for you! Get used to the hot dogs.

3) See 2. This isn't an original point.

4) Minor correction: Only breed if she want's too. If she does you'd better be ready to be a dad because your reproductive rights don't matter.

5) Actually, if she made the same amount of money, she would have to work more not less. I know this is a difficult concept for the author to grasp, but this means less down time.

4) Yes, because if women had equal pay, they would all be CEO's.

3) Happy home life? Err, because I want to live in a house where my son is made to feel like shit and told that he is the root of all the worlds problems, and also he is a potential rapist.

2) Why is your daughter unable to support you now? If she works more hours, she will get paid for more hours. You want her to get paid more for less work on the off chance she will be benevolent with her money?

1) Okay, if you say so. That's like saying men's rights benefits feminists.

spagma · 2011-09-21T17:19:59+00:00

I tried to get through it, I really did, though I just ate lunch, and didn't want to lose it.

Scott2508 · 2011-09-21T18:34:40+00:00

ill use an old scottish phrase for this ... "Pish"

BinaryShadow · 2011-09-21T18:07:40+00:00

People use to argue that slaves needed their owners to take care of them using the same strategy.

HPotterReference · 2011-09-22T00:42:50+00:00

TL,DR: Women make 75 - 80% what men earn, and the author is none too pleased.

DankJemo · 2011-09-22T02:29:25+00:00

I am just going to throw this out there, and you can either agree or not, but a lot of what i just read has absolute dick to do with feminism... all those thing listed are about equality, getting along and sharing the fucking load is what a healthy relationship is based on. "Feminist" don't own this shit, respectful, intelligent people; regardless of gender own this and have known how well it worked before this played-out bullshit, battle of the sexes even got started. This article makes it sound like you need to accept feminism to have happy relationship, which is fucked all you need is to understand and help on another... fuck i am sick of this stupid shit, on both sides of the fence, it's like recess in 5th grade when the boys had cooties and the girls were gross.

stinger503 · 2011-09-22T02:36:52+00:00

I love how almost every one is: you get free things if women work!

holyerthanthou · 2011-09-22T02:47:28+00:00

The artical is retarded but the comments are fucking gold. I stopped reading her comebacks and just stuck to the guys after a while since she just liked to regurgitate old unsourced feminist bull shit. Edit spelling

millertime73 · 2011-09-21T17:46:34+00:00

That was particularly vomitous.

Faryshta · 2011-09-21T19:33:19+00:00

Steak and craft beer

Do women do the grocery shopping in your household? Do women ever cook for you? With feminism, you get more ribeye. Let me explain how. See, one big goal for feminism is that women are paid what they’re worth (or at least what men earn for the same work). If the women in your life made 100% of the money they deserve instead of 75 or 80%, then they’d have more money to spend on yummy food and good beer for you instead of hot dogs and Miller Lite.

Women earning more means women cooking more?

Only breed if you want to

Only breen when, how and if she want to.

FTFY.

More time with your family

If you do choose to breed, feminism helps dads like you spend more time with their children.

Really? Since when feminists started to fight for father rights?

If your female significant other were to actually earn 100% of that salary she’s worth instead of 75 or 80%, she would not have to spend her weekends crocheting tampon cozies to sell on her Etsy shop or destabilizing South American banana republics through violent revolution (or whatever it is that she does on the side to make up that missing 25%). This means on the weekend, she can watch football with you.

How god. Women earning less (lie) means they are risking their life crocheting. And if they earn more means they will automatically like football.

things that make her happy, whether it’s changing the oil in your car, giving you backrubs, or baking snickerdoodles

I know some feminists who would lynch whoever wrote this.

You already benefit from feminism, dipshit!

Thank you cunt.

2011-09-22T02:24:45+00:00

These are all half truths, in an ideal situation things would come up like that, like the "don't taxing the rich will provide more jobs" logic, it works but mainly on paper. But as the MR proves once and again many times women abuse the rules and abuse of men, feminism is good but its not all bubbles and butterflies.

rawdog10 · 2011-09-21T19:14:29+00:00

If women had extra money they would probably go to buy shoes rather than beer.

Offensive_Brute · 2011-09-21T18:52:47+00:00

I wonder then how atheists feel about feminism.

Offensive_Brute · 2011-09-21T19:04:16+00:00

If you live with a woman who doesn’t earn her worth

A woman doesn't earn her worth working outside the home. She earns her worth SHUTTING THE FUCK UP AND COOKING DINNER.

lololol you morons calling anyone else out on using "incorrect data and stereotypes to try to convince people of a reality not supported by data/experience" is pretty laughable
