The interesting thing is that for the first time there has been a significant backlash against Feminism that is actually having an affect. Because of atheists, egalitarians and mras, a large number of people are rethinking some of the negative aspects of feminist dogma and are willing to speak out against them.

I think this "crack in the wall of crazy" that we've caused gives us (human rights advocates) the opportunity to redefine it so that it will actually become picture #2.

I think to expect every feminist to reject Feminism in lieu of egalitarianism might be a bridge too far. But forcing feminist discussion to include men's rights might be our best hope.

How do we do this?

For example...

When a feminists talks about rape culture, say fine I'll talk about rape culture and even help you to end it if we talk about all aspects of it, including the elements that are important to me: Sexual assault and rape of males, due process rights of the accused, etc.

I don't know if any of this will work but I don't think digging in our heels and saying "Feminism is dumb" has much more legs.

The question to ask yourself is are radfems reblogging this or fuming in anger?

ILoveHate · 2013-07-10T20:22:24+00:00

The second one may be what a lot of "moderate" feminists believe their movement is about. Sadly, the truth would be neither pic 1 not pic 2. It would be the girl kicking the boy in the balls while he stands there with his hands tied behind his back.

ILoveHate · 2013-07-10T23:37:40+00:00

This is what feminism does, this is what feminism says.

Until you actually you know, stand up to other feminists, this shit is meaningless and more of the "well the definition of feminism is equality, so quit judging us on our actions" crap.

Lightfiend · 2013-07-10T21:15:57+00:00

The vast majority of people on tumblr are idiotic sheep and will reblog pretty much any eloquent argument without considering whether they agree with it or not. Sorry.

Also, it's not a pro-MR post. It's making apologies for feminism and trying to make it seem moderate so that those who oppose it appear radical. If it said 'equality' in place of 'feminism' I'd be far happier to see it.

roharareddit · 2013-07-10T23:23:43+00:00

I am not impressed. This is just an attempt to re-brand feminism into something that it is not and never will be- equality.

Mytecacc · 2013-07-10T19:57:11+00:00

You are impressed by pro feminist propaganda?

BrambleEdge · 2013-07-10T20:39:21+00:00

You are impressed by blatant lies?

ExpendableOne · 2013-07-10T23:57:13+00:00

Cute picture... but it is still completely contradicted by feminism's actual views, tenets and history.

Opioidus · 2013-07-11T05:59:15+00:00

Feminists always wanted "equality" and still do: they want to be equal to the top 5 percent of men.

giegerwasright · 2013-07-10T20:11:06+00:00

Actually, the first one is feminism.

The second one is egalitarianism.

Also. The second one privileges women by putting them on the left side of the screen, making them first to draw attention.

just the usual mask saying "see? feminism is equality!". it is a guise to allow general feminist anti-male activities to continue without opposition.

be pro-women's rights, but drop the feminist mark. it has become incorrigibly settled as a misandric/non-egalitarian institution, and trying to deny it will only stifle the remedy which is complete dismantlement.

WordsNotToLiveBy · 2013-07-11T01:31:46+00:00

This is how feminism view their point of view, but it's not the whole story. "Equal" doesn't always mean equal. For example, wanting to have the same take home pay as men (in general,) but with less time worked and in field-of-studies much lower on the rung.

Also, happens in Wimbledon.

Morichalion · 2013-07-11T07:20:32+00:00

You're easily impressed.

The same argument, which is quite sleepy by this point, that is repeated during any argument that critiques some of the less savory of feminist folks.

Basically, it's just another iteration of: "Feminism is equality! If you're against feminism, you're against equality!"

2013-07-11T09:48:51+00:00

Except it's not feminism. It's humanism.

MockingDead · 2013-07-11T03:25:50+00:00

And yet, here we are.

fukuaneveryoneuknow · 2013-07-11T16:43:46+00:00

This is what military strategists and war tacticians call "hearts and minds".

Claiming to help you and be on your side, all the while they're still burning down your goddamn hut.

2013-07-10T21:55:59+00:00

If you're impressed by this, you might be a feminist.

2013-07-11T16:56:07+00:00

look at all of that thin white hetero-normative privilege... or whatever.

DavidByron · 2013-07-12T05:22:13+00:00

But of course there would be no need for the image to be made if it was actually true.

MattClark0994 · 2013-07-10T21:23:37+00:00

Feminism is a hate group, nothing more.

What's a note? Kind of like an upvote?

BioGenx2b · 2013-07-11T14:44:46+00:00

Check the hand coloration. This image is seriously meta.

Tigerantilles · 2013-07-11T08:11:33+00:00

No, that'd be gender equality. The top one is still feminism.

blackyak · 2013-07-11T03:08:13+00:00
