What happened to feminism? Why is now favoritism, instead of equality?

"The history of mankind is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations on the part of man toward woman, having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyrranny over her."

Declaration of Sentiments, first-wave feminism.

It was anti-male from the start.

Media. Once the media backs something in the west all you see is dollar signs. Doesn't really matter what it is, feminism isn't special in that regard. We see people do their thing, get some press, then change all the time. Pretty easy and common to be a sell out in the US once the media chooses you.

What happened is by the late 60s, feminism gained the lobbying power to win policies favoring women, so they have.

It isn't that it's favouritism now, it is just that only now you've started to recognize the favouritism.

Hasn’t feminism been more about favoritism for decades already? At least since the 21st century?

Simping combined with 2nd wave feminists who made bed fellows with politicians.

Early wave "feminism" had for the most part good intentions and the like is needed in certain old world areas. Males also would benefit from it. But again people like the focus to be on females, so now we have the end result.

Same thing that happens to every social movement,,,, That faction that prioritized the pursuit of concrete, tangible goals was overthrown by the faction that treats identifying bias and prejudice, then spending weeks groaning over the existence of such things, as the be all and end all of activism. We here at The MRM haven't been much different. Take a look/listen at what advocacy around men's issues used to look like, in the not too distant past https://reason.com/1994/07/01/man-troubles/ (especially the final sentences in that article), https://archive.org/details/Radioutlaw-PlayboyColumnistAsaBaberMantalkInterviewPart1706-2 https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=101833696 . to provide just a few examples

Criminally forgotten heroes like Asa Baber, Jack Kammer, Mike Arst, the terrific James Cook, and the incomparable Ned Holstein(who's still going strong today)not only succeeding in winning some of the first legislative victories on subjects like shared parenting legislation; they gave the feminist-skeptical world we enjoyed during the late-90s up until the mid-10s, the likes of which have been acknowledged and lamented by even The Woke Warriors who run The Take https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBxgEIcMB6o Anyone who's 35 or older remembers the days in which Askmen hadn't yet gone Woke, and was speaking from an unapologetically male perspective, and even fucking Tyra Banks devoted an hour of her show to male victims of domestic violence, back in '09

This current iteration of The MRM has emulated Third Wave feminism fondness for mulling over esoteric theories about oppression(Whereas the latter camp believes that White CIS Patriarchy is baked into the DNA of Western Civilization, The Generically Red Pill cling tenaciously to the fever dream that we live in a Gynocentric Social Order), while assiduously avoiding all discussion of how we can help those who are in need to help themselves in practical ways. We're worse off for it. The fact that even pre-COVID, fewer men were in the workforce than was the case at the end of The Great Depression, and several million more are stuck in backbreaking, low-wage employment thank to not having the skills necessary to obtain upward mobility, is indicative of just how ineffectual contemporary MRAs have been

It was never about equality. They want the same rights as men, but aren't willing to bear the responsibilities that men have to bear, in order to get those rights. If a man wants to vote, he has to be part of conscription, and sign a document that says, that he will defend the country if necessary. You see? We got a right, and a responsibility. Sounds reasonable, doesn't it? However if a woman wants to vote, she doesn't have to take on that responsibility. They got a right, but no responsibility.

It was never about equality

azazelcrowley · 2022-08-25T01:08:22+00:00

It always was.

Aimless-Nomad · 2022-08-25T03:10:52+00:00

Its a feature, not a bug.

Feminism is the idea that women are inferior to men and need special treatment to compete with men. Prove me wrong.

TracyMorganFreeman · 2022-08-25T04:11:45+00:00

It was always about favoritism.

DifficultTraffic2696 · 2022-08-25T14:41:06+00:00

I think its time to start calling out organisations and nations that use 'extreme femenism' as misandrist nations or misandrist organisations

Not only will it risknthe reputation but income also

ever since the seriously hot and sexy emma watson was tainted by rabid feminism, she has been tarred and feathered as untouchable; i don't recall that she can keep a man, let alone get a shag; i feel sorry for sweet hermione - she probably hates men so much she can barely get past the 1st date; expecting her to come out as lesbian very soon ...

It's Marxism.
