My problem with feminism is not simply disagreement or irritation — I actually suffer from it very much, often to the point of wanting to die. Reading feminist groups and articles has a very depressing effect on me. And I mean not only radical feminism, but moderate feminism too. I perceive such messages from feminism:
— There is something problematic or even harmful about the fact that I am attracted to feminine qualities in women.
— There is something problematic or even harmful in my desire to care for a woman (you are not even allowed to open the door for her (benevolent sexism), so other forms of caring must be even more harmful).
— There is something problematic or even harmful about the fact that a woman's appearance matters to me for her sexual attractiveness.
— There is something problematic or even harmful about the fact that I do not think men and women are inherently the same and I tend to believe the difference between men and women is not only anatomical and physiological.
— Almost my every step, almost my every movement is somehow harmful to women.
— It's not only what I do that is wrong, but there is also something wrong about the way I feel and perceive women (For example, if I notice attractive women on the street, it seems like I am objectifying them. There must be something wrong with me because objectification is a bad thing.)
— My whole male essence is somehow fundamentally wrong, evil, harmful.
So here is my question:
Are there other men, who have a similar problem with feminism? I mean, when a man's problem is not some disagreement with feminism, but literally suffering?
So far I have seen only one example, besides myself: https://i.imgur.com/dGgDl1o.png
Thank you everyone in advance for your answers.
I apologize for my possible mistakes — English is not my native language and I live in a non-English speaking country.
