Stop pretending feminism has men’s best interests in mind. It’s a hodgepodge of talking points designed to give women leverage over men. With manipulation in mind.

Who's pretending, especially on this sub, that feminism has men's interests at heart?

Feminism is not about equality. You can tell by the name.

Anyone who believes feminism is pro-male hasn’t been paying attention and is buying into feminist propaganda. Feminists have lobbied hard for and won many laws that favor women and discriminate against men. They are actively, strongly anti-male.

I would say current state of feminism, neo feminist, certainly only desires leaverage over men but I do not believe the 2nd wave movement was that way. In fact I think the old school feminist are pretty fair and get as much shit from neofeminst as us. Feminim became a movement that kicked out all the cool ones. So yeah only neo feminists pretend. Edit for typos

Well, feminism IS a hodgepodge. You got that part right.

Say it louder for the young boys in the back

Women? No. They even use that as a cover, their real intent is to give feminists the advantage, and only female feminists.

I don't want my boyfriend to die on dangerous workplaces. I don't want him to feel that he needs to make more money than me to be a good enough man. I don't want my brothers to take risks just because their group of friends challenge each other in stupid games while their drunk. I don't want them to have the urge to drink alcohol just to be able to relax. I want my boyfriend to live a long happy life and my kids to have a father who is safe and feels great.

I don't want young men to feel that they have to take dangerous jobs to be good enough. I want young men to choose whatever job they want - even nurse or kindergarden teacher - without getting bullied for it. To do what they want to do, and not what society expects or what their father wants them to do. I want all men to do whatever they want to do, as long as it's not hurting themselves or others.

I am worried about my own son when he grows up. Men are at bigger risk of dying in car accidents, of alcohol problems, work place accidents or suicide. I don't want that for my son, my boyfriend, my brothers or any man at all. That for me is feminism - to make everyone feel safe, be treated with respect and to care about their own mental health.

Feminists who says that women should make more money for the same job, or hates men or whatever. They don't get it. I am feminist because I love men and want them to stay alive.

I also love my female friends and wants them to be able to feel safe in society. Where I live, a women gets murdered every third week by their boyfriend/husband/random dude. And the numbers for rape or abuse is high as hell. Some men wont admit that is a problem, but at the same time they wouldn't let their daughter be out late at night, or have a boyfriend, or walk home by herself because it's dangerous. So it is a problem.

It's not a competition. Both gender needs to work together to make everyone feel safe and respected. Many people don't get that and to hate men and call it feminism is nothing but wrong. Social media have made it worse. And it is sad.

If there are 1000 feminists, of which 999 are radical woman supremacists and one is a sensible person fighting for equality, then I'll focus on that one person, I'll co-operate with that one person, and I'll accept that the entire movement isn't corrupt, only the majority and the leaders.

Sure, that means that nobody hears about the non radical ones. That's true. But they exist. Few and far between the radicals, there exist a few sensible persons, and this generalization of "feminists bad" is definitely discouraging them from fighting for equal rights. Not to mention the social pressure they get from the radical feminists

In short, there exist sensible people, but there is no way for them to say anything given that both our communities and the feminists ones actively hate on them

Wanna know why men die more in the workforce? It’s because we tell women that their duty is to be a mother and they aren’t strong enough to work dangerous jobs. That is why dangerous jobs are dominated by men. Feminism is trying to break this stereotype. This type of anti feminist sentiment is perpetuating your own misery.

Good God, there's some weird shit showing up on my feed today but this is something else.

Are you seriously saying that women doing the job shouldn't be paid the same as men?

Which job are men dying in that women aren't equally capable of dying in?

You sound the same
