Simple question, ladies: what made you antifeminist?

It was mostly from my brother growing up. I never quite understood where his general dislike of women came from and I thought his views were quite extreme but he kept talking about his experiences and how unfairly him and most men were being treated in society. I just kept listening and I slowly started to see things from his perspective of what the male experience is like even if I don't fully understand it but recognize how different it is for them. Then he started to point out feminist views that didn't make sense like how they say women hardly have any rights when literally we all have the same rights as men and women. Simply pointing out to them that yes, there is discrimination but not at a systemic level would immediately get you labeled as sexist/misogynistic. I'm absolutely thankful for him speaking up about these things as I probably would have been one of the brainwashed feminists nowadays who are incapable of holding a real conversation with men as they immediately shut off any type of discourse that would shatter their little world of delusion and entitlement. Right now, I particularly don't like labeling myself as anything other than just someone who supports and recognizes both men and women's struggles. It just happens that I disagree a lot with feminist ideologies.

because I like women and men and I don't like women who put my fellow men down

I wouldn't say I'm an anti feminist but many call me it. It's mainly because, femism has just became a joke now, fighting for stupid things and it's generally became so anti men instead.

Do I believe in Women's right? Yes I do, Am I a feminist? Hell no

The reason why I'm against feminism or especially western feminism simply because the movement now is very toxic and filled with female incels who complain about the most stupid things and make a very big deal of it like shaving legs and manspreading 🤷🏻‍♀️ Women in the east are still fighting for the simple rights women in the west already have since birth. Yet they are not 24/7 screaming about hating men and patriarchy. I personally view feminists as a bunch of spoiled women who have nothing to complain about so let's digging for some.

And they did nothing to support Iran protests and now they are trying to consider the dissolution of the morality police as their win and it's actually not 🤷🏻‍♀️

Even everything got ruined by feminism. All movies now are filled with StROng WoMen. They ruined superheroe movies and star wars and Disney movies. All actresses now think being arrogant and rude make them powerful women. Music is a complete mess. This is all because #feminism #metoo #killallmen.

I developed my views over time. I am married to the most wonderful man in the world, and I have male friends who are some of the kindest, most incredible people I have been fortunate enough to know. Seeing the way society shames men for doing….literally nothing? Simply existing? Really made me take a step back and go against the common feminist rhetoric. I never really drank the feminist kool aid, but I can now say I am a proud anti feminist.

Because feminism is fucking delusional. that's it

The thing is, I am a feminist, I agree that women should have voting rights and the right to work where they choose and make an independent life for themselves. But like how it is for everybody, actions may have consequences. It is just the way of life.

What I don't agree with is Modern Feminism. While it started getting worse with the birth of social media, Modern Feminism became extreme in 2016 during the third wave transitioning to the fourth wave in 2022. Pushing multiple authors to publish books shaming Masculinity and Men's rights. Painting a picture that all men are sexually objectifying woman and should be seen as predators to woman. Even though Woman financially objectify Men far more than Men objectify woman. There are always going to be bad apples out there but the exception doesn't make the rule.

Now in 2022 we are seeing more feminized weak man running the streets, a ridiculous number of simps that show endless validation for woman who don't give a shit about them. Court systems always favor the woman, divorces are caused by woman because they are biologically hypergamous. Woman are allowed to have unrealistic preferences in men: 666 rule (6 figure salary, over 6ft, and over 6in member). If a man has a preference or boundary he is labeled as a Misogynistic and insecure incel. Woman who decide to go and chase a bag until they are 30 and run through hundreds of men and then expect to settle with a nice man that accept her past and who she is.

Modern Femenism has turned into a delusional, sexist and unrealistic expectation that the sisterhood has for men, and the men will be forced to adapt to it and become weak men.

Ultimately those weak.men that adapted to Modern Feminism are going to be the ones that rebuild societies infrastructure because everybody knows that woman will not.

I’m anti feminist because I’ve seen how the quality of women’s lives and family lives have degraded with the rise of feminism.

I am a bit older. I was child during the rise of 2nd wave feminism and that’s the one that really sold women on the idea that economic buying power was more important than your kids and husband. As more and more women entered the workplace, it destroyed the family and drove down wages to where it became very difficult for a family to live on one income. It fueled materialism, a desire for bigger houses, more cars, more cheap junk. No one who cared was any longer minding the kids, which allowed the Marxist agenda of public education to take root. Women found themselves stressed and exhausted, trying to work ft and take care of things around the house. Divorce skyrocketed because men no longer felt respected or valued as they were reminded in a million ways they were no longer needed or respected.

The more recent 3rd wave feminism has become even more extreme. We’ve all borne witness to it.

I absolutely despise feminism. I despise the deleterious effect it has had on men, as well as the self destructive influence it’s been on women.

I really hope one day we’ll realign our values to realize what’s really important, but I’m not holding my breath.

I think men and women are both valuable. I think that feminism is a bastardization of the ideals they espouse. They advocate for women to be able to do whatever they wish, but look down on women who want to have a traditional life, caring for her family. Additionally, they cannot accept the consequences of doing whatever they’d like. It is not a healthy ideology imo.

One of my friends trying to victimize me all the time by saying I'm opressed. And sexualization, also. Self-sexualization claiming it's empowerment ruined it for me.

I’m against feminism because of the double standards, and how it’s negatively impacted men. I grew up in a conservative Christian household, which is partially responsible for my views.

Feminism 40 years ago was allowing women to have the right to vote, which I support. Modern day feminism is straight misandry, it’s associated with men being a lower status than women, which I’m completely against. Men are more likely to commit suicide than women because they’re always disrespected, and ignored. Women are constantly praised and validated, and men get 0 acknowledgment.

Biblically speaking, men were made to provide physical and financial security to women. And women are made to provide emotional support, compassion, reassurance to men. Biologically, men are more superior towards women. Males were granted with the ability to have more physical strength and endurance than women. That explains why most matriarchies have failed in human history. 99% of construction workers, mechanics, electricians, engineers, military personnel, police officers, are males.

Women have more rights than men nowadays. Men aren’t allowed to babysit kids, or they’re a “pedophile”. Men aren’t allowed to ask a woman out, or else they’re seen as creepy. If a woman rapes a man, the man won’t get taken seriously, and justice won’t be served. If it was gender roles reversed, the man will instantly get locked up. Men are looked down upon nowadays.

As a woman, I strongly believe that men should embrace their masculinity.

I don’t need feminism and I really don’t see the point of it anymore. Especially here in the US, I don’t even know what we’re being oppressed over. xD And the vast negativity in the movement is stomping the men’s issues podium in the ground. I mean I’m all up for lifting people up, but what’s the point if the bad people in the movement has more influence and conjures up hypocritical arguments? I choose to support mah boys and girls equally.
