Want men to support feminism? Stop treating them as the problem.

Men have almost nothing substantive to complain about, and to moan that we deserve praise just for not being sexist looks a bit rich.

I was sorta with him til he dropped this steaming turd.

While the author panders a bit, in that he says equality is a long ways off, yet, and he puts words into many men's mouths by saying that we're on board with pay equity (I'm on board with pay equality at the same position, but pay equity is a whole other ball of wax), this piece was still in a major Canadian magazine.

"In 2018, men of all ages and all across the country, married or single, educated or not, are far more feminist than ever before. "

Maybe true, but they are actually more egalitarian, which isn't exactly being feminist since it supports equality for all and not just women.

Fuck feminism.

Feminism is a hate movement, why would I want to join that?

It's interesting that the article starts with this...

Editor’s note: The opinions in this article are the author’s, as published by our content partner, and do not necessarily represent the views of MSN or Microsoft.

The article is very PC and male blaming, despite the title...

Across the English-speaking world women now outnumber men in higher education. Yesterday the chairman of a Toronto law firm told me about their affirmative action program: trying (and failing) to find more capable male articling students. In every field, at every level, women are making progress. The other side of this coin is that male influence, power and prestige are all in decline.

Objectively, this is good. Men continue to enjoy unearned advantages. Women are still paid less than men. The career impact of child rearing is also much harder for them. Our political and corporate leaders remain mostly male. True equality is still a long way off.

So apparently it's good that men are being hurt, for err, reasons, but I guess it's not near enough.

Many/most men will always support anything women want them to because men are hardwired to make women happy. Yes, this is true even for the openly female supremacist, male-hating ideology that is feminism.

Also, any article supporting feminism is bound to be full of shit, why is anyone around here surprised this article is no exception?

Another fence sitter, trying to serve two masters, pleasing neither.

Immature people can only conceive of power as the power to manipulate through deception, flattery, coercion and intimidation. Women are immature people. Maybe they will grow up once they’ve gotten used to power, but they’ll do a lot of damage on the road to maturity.

If this author thinks it’s going to happen any other way, he’s got another thing coming.
