We all know feminism isn't about equal rights. But suppose for a second that it was. Well, they'd get men's input, for one thing. Instead of preaching to us about exaggerated and cherry-picked versions of women's worst lived experiences and demanding that we shut up and listen 24/7, they would want our experiences too, to give them a broader perspective. And when they proposed social changes, they would strive to make those changes fair to all, not just good for (some) women.

But of course they're not really about equality, we know that. And there is no reasonableness standard built into their activism. There is no mechanism of democracy or compromise. As a result, there's nothing that tells them when or where to stop.

Consider the expansion of rape. Used to be you needed drugs, violence, or the like to be a rapist, but they keep moving the bar. Woman doesn't want sex but gives in anyway? Rape. Woman has ingested a single drop of alcohol, thereby completely losing her inhibition and good judgement? Rape. Woman doesn't consent, but keeps that a secret? Rape. Woman has regret? Rape. Woman's afraid of being slut-shamed? Rape. Woman doesn't know something about the guy that, if it were known, would make her not want to have sex with him? Rape. (Why are all these examples male-on-female rape? It's because HELLO PLEASE FOCUS ONLY ON FEMALE VICTIMS PLEASE THANK YOU!)

How about dating? Or more specifically, how about approaching women for a date? Used to be, you could do it almost anywhere. Now, every single time a woman is approached in a way that makes her uncomfortable or annoyed, it's not just her private bitch; it becomes a Commandment to All Men that Henceforth Ye Shall Never Do This. So now, if she's at work, don't ask; if you're at work, don't ask; if she's on the bus or train, don't ask; if you see her on the street, don't ask; if she's reading or wearing headphones, don't ask; if she's by herself in a bar or coffeeshop, don't ask (because HELLO, JUST BECAUSE A WOMAN IS IN PUBLIC DOESN'T MEAN SHE WANTS TO BE APPROACHED BY MEN, THANK YOU!) If she's dressed up, don't ask. If she's dressed down, don't ask. If she's at the gym, don't ask. Did I forget a few? Probably. It's gotten to the point where the only ways left to approach a woman are the Nice Guy approach, where you're afraid to do or say anything, ever, and the PUA approach, where you do and say whatever you want and who cares if some uptight bitch gets offended.

School. 20% females in college wasn't good enough. 40% females in college wasn't good enough. 60% females in college, apparently, isn't good enough! Schools need to have rape tribunals, and those tribunals need to be kangaroo courts, and those kangaroo courts are only strictly for show because any man accused of a crime against a woman should just be expelled, anyway. Dress codes for K-12 girls are sexism; if a 15-year-old girl wants to parade around in daisy dukes and a halter top that's EVERYONE ELSE'S PROBLEM BUT HERS, THANK YOU!

There are probably other categorical examples. The point is that if you give an inch, feminists will take mile after mile after mile, giving nothing back and justifying it all with their peculiar broken logic.

There is no reasoning with feminists and no compromise with feminists because they see no need for it. They can just keep pushing and pushing forever and they don't always win, but as long as they never take a loss, why stop?

The only way to deal with that kind of mindset is to stop giving inches. Don't hope they'll see your side. Don't ask for their opinion, and don't try to empathize with them. Don't appeal to reason or fairness. Never, ever assume that they'll turn out to be reasonable people in the end. And don't reach out to them looking for "peace" or to "build bridges". It never works.

When they try to tell you how men should behave, tell them NO.
When they try to tell you what men are responsible for, tell them NO.
When they try to tell you what men owe them, tell them NO.
When they ask for new privileges, tell them NO.
When they demand your sympathy, tell them NO.
Concede NOTHING.
