How is this feminist?

I don't want to defend feminism movement in all its aspects; I realise many of you dont like us and you have all the rights to feel that way. Feminism is certainly not without a sin. There is certainly a lot of ways we could improve, especially when narrative around men is concerned. But this is not the case.

Feminists believe that men are normal human beings. With feelings, complex needs and so on. We actively battle this stupid belief that men think only about sex or that turned on man just can't control himself, because he thinks with his penis. This is the narrative of victim blamers, not feminists. This is the very opposite of feminist narrative.

Of course you can probably dig out someone who claims to be a feminist and says absurds like that. In return I can dig some posts from this sub where some "MRA activist" claim that he hates all women and this is what MRA is about. It is not. And feminism is not about what some random hateful poster wrote (and got down voted to oblivion).

If you want to find what feminists really have to say about men, I suggest digging in AskFeminists sub and searching for "men", "mens issues" and so on. Once I get to computer I will paste some links that show that feminists in general don't think in the way it is shown on this picture, and that actually it is a part of our movement to battle this hurtful belief.

Once again, I'm not trying to make a claim that feminists are great and you shouldn't criticize us. Just criticize us for what we actually do and say, OK? That would be great.

EDIT: OK, I promised links.

My favourite: men asks what do feminism thinks about the "fact" that men need sex for life and they need it much more than women, basically any upvoted comment says sth completely contrary to what is presented on that meme: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskFeminists/comments/9052hd/feminists_stance_on_male_sexual_needs/

General topic on men issues: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskFeminists/comments/bh7doi/why_dont_feminists_talk_about_or_support_men/

In case we also do the "feminists think that men can't be raped!" thing: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskFeminists/comments/a29hlc/m_rape_survivor_looking_for_a_feminist/

Compiled list of resources on men's issues, including male rape victims, circumcision, violence against men https://www.reddit.com/r/AskFeminists/wiki/mensissues

...and more. I just browsed through some "best" posts and did some searches, so it's just result of 5 minute browsing. If you actually dig more to it you will find much more.
