Misandry is not feminism

Hey, if a fourteen year old can see the misandry, than I sincerely doubt the adult ones can't. Kudos to her.

Why am I reading a blog by a 14 year old??

load of rubbish that doesn't address the fact that most top feminists, the ones that run the show, are misandrists.

for any feminist reading this, this is exactly what we mean when we talk about so called 'moderate' feminists providing cover for the misandrists.

Feminism is important to me because I think all girls deserve an education. Feminism is important to me because there are girls who have been raped and are not allowed to get an abortion. Feminism is important to me because I am often called a “lesbian” purely based on my attending an all girls school. Feminism should be important to the world because some people have the mindset that men are above women; and to stop this, feminists shouldn’t be thinking the opposite. It’s all about thinking of everyone as equals.

I'm against the monarch wielding autocratic power. I don't call myself a 'Whig'.

I'm against slavery. I don't call myself an 'abolitionist'.

I favour universal suffrage. I don't call myself a 'suffragist'.

I acknowledge the fact of evolution by natural selection. I don't call myself a 'Darwinian'.

I'm against colonialism. I don't call myself an 'anti-colonialist'.

I'm against racial discrimination. I don't call myself a 'civil rights advocate'.

I'm against women being treated as inferior. I don't call myself a 'feminist'.

Yeah, right. Pull the other one, it's got bells on.

Someone should really get her some statistics on how much education (especially in the higher ranks) cater and are designed for women to succeed.

Some of the comments are encouraging.

She's 14 and knew the word Misandry. That is good.

We have eyes and ears of our own, please don't insult our intelligence. Feminism is, and has always been, a form of misandry. A delusional perversion of reality, or all the "femsplaining" in the world, doesn't change that fact.

This is not a sentence written in English.

Feminism is a straw-man argument.

Hypersapien · 2013-12-26T20:14:38+00:00

Feminism is however it is practiced by people who call themselves feminists.

Anorra · 2013-12-23T17:48:13+00:00

Well feminism began as a reaction to sexism and chauvinism. A lot of those women had to work around that kind of environment. Imagine always dealing with spiteful men. The same could be said for black people who had to deal with racism all the time. After a while it can get under your skin.

This is why some people think feminism is misandry. It's not.

Good intentions, so innocent and sweet. When it comes to action however instead of just utopian speeches, that is when the double standards, the equality of benefits not responsibilities. the demand for equal pay but not equal expectations of labor (safer jobs in the military and civilian world). Asking the government to force equality policies that turn into one way streets of injustice.

Your sweet little dream of equal utopia is more like a nightmare when you only look at one side princess. That is what becomes misandry whether they wish it or not.

Trigger Warning: common sense.
