I was sent this today; how accurate is this IRL?

It doesn't have the same affect without Big Red screaming it in your general direction.

Completely inaccurate. It's a bunch of feminist lies.

OMG. It's pretty astounding how much men hate themselves! I mean, we've invented all these ways to penalize ourselves under a patriarchal rule that we allegedly benefit from.

I can't keep up!

Give me a fucking break.

Everything they say they "hate"? they worked hard to create. What they do hate is men. It's a hate movement. Denigrating men is what they do. Telling lies about men is what they do. Creating violence and bitterness and fear towards men is what they do.

1: they don't help with most of these

2: the reasons they gave for solving issues that can ruin and cripple the lives of men? Because they feel a little insulted.

Honestly I have friends who are feminists, and some would agree with most if not all of these claims. However, the thing that rubs me is that everything is "a part of partriarchy". Apparently everything in the universe revolves around the fact that men are often paid more. Which of course means that every injustice against anyone, men or women, is our fault. Fuck me.

I can't remember the term, maybe others could help, but there is a term for it.

The definition of the term is something like, saying a generally, very vague statement that few people can disagree with, then claiming it is part of something else, equally as vague.

The same is done with the "i need feminism because...", the point is that you can write almost anything in there, and it works. I bet you could even pull off "i need feminism because hot dogs are shaped like a penis". It is very difficult to deny what the person is feeling, because it is subjective, and vague. They draw no actual connection to how feminism is in anyway related.

In this case, nothing is showing how feminism stops these things, how they are actually related to patriarchy, and the statements are suppose to be general enough it is difficult to contest.

Feminists do not want you to lose custody of your children. The assumption that women are naturally better caregivers is part of patriarchy.

that sounds great, so what is feminism doing about it?

basically patriarchy is a generic term. If you think about it, it doesn't even apply to most of those unless you take patriarchy as hand in hand with feminism. How does male privilege and controlling women equal bumbling father? In a true patriarchy, the man is extremely competent, he runs the house. He is in charge of training the children. In patriarchy, the male is the caregiver after age 5.

Okay, last rebuttal

Feminists do not want you to be viewed with suspicion when you take your child to the park (men frequently insist that this is a serious issue, so I will take them at their word). The assumption that men are insatiable sexual animals, combined with the idea that it’s unnatural for men to care for children, is part of patriarchy.

now, could it be, just maybe, women don't think men are trustworthy because men are often called pedophiles for being near children? Could it be that men are often the default gender when a rape happens? the fears instilled by feminism to other women and society cause the fear, not patriarchy. If it was patriarchy, men would be trusted, because guess what... men rule! men have the power, to question a father would be a serious social offense in a patriarchy.
