I (26F) wrote a little quiz based on my experience. I wonder who is reinforcing gender stereotypes? Is it really men?
Question: Was it a man or a woman that said this to my face?
- "Walk like a lady. You're wearing a skirt. Put your knees together."
- "Kiss the birthday boy!"
- "Your boyfriend came. Just kidding, it was your brother."
- "Why aren't you wearing make-up?"
- "Older women need to wear make-up so that others won't feel unpleasant when looking at her."
- "What happened? Your thighs are massive."
- "You're going like THAT? Wear this dress instead."
- "When are you getting married?"
- "What you (as a pre-teen) eat now will affect your skin as a 20-year-old."
- "You should wear heels. I know it hurts, but you should."
Answer key (M = male, F = female): 1 = F, 2 = F, 3 = F, 4 = F, 5 = F, 6 = M, 7 = F, 8 = M & F, 9 = F, 10 = F.

Feminists are inherently Misandrists
Yup, this is it folks. The official dubbing of all feminists as misandrists.
It doesn’t matter what they claim, they may say they are for equality, but remember what people say and think don’t matter. What matters is the groups they are put in. Just as men are inherently sexist, cis people are inherently transphobic and white people are inherently racist, feminists are now inherently misandrist!
What brings this about you might ask? Well all you need to do is look at the factors dubbing the latter groups (men, cis people and white people) as their oppressive natures (sexist, transphobic and racist, respectively) to determine this. It is entirely a mindset, and it is integrated into our culture that feminists are misandrists. Feminists may think they aren’t misandrist and say they’re not misandrist, but keep in mind transphobia. It doesn’t matter how much cis people say they don’t mind trans people- they are always ALWAYS transphobic.
Because feminists hold power over the influence of language (As a single example: encouraging word use such as using “they” as gender neutral), societal norm, government prosecution (changing the definition of rape to forced penetration) and the feminist movement itself, and because misandry requires power as well as prejudice, non-feminists and anti-feminists are incapable of being misandrists. Sorry, I don’t make the rules. Furthermore, if you are a male feminist, you are still a misandrist. Just like black people who don’t support BLM, you are a cancer to our people, and are a self-hating individual who needs to be educated.
Sorry feminists, you’re inherently misandrist. Nothing can change that, it’s just how you are.
*In case you couldn’t figure it out, this post was to show how ridiculous it is to say any one group is inherently oppressive just for being a certain way, whether it be white, male, cis, straight, etc. Long explanation short, if you thought that my reasons were stupid, you’ve proven my point. (And no, I don’t really think all feminists are misandrist)
Feminist: Have you accepted feminism into your heart as your lord and feminist christ?
Me: No
Feminist: “Feminism just means equality! You’re either a feminist or a sexist!“
Me: “Equality… That’s a big word you’re using there. So, like just social justice or social liberalism?…. If it just means liberalism, why not just call myself a liberal? You’re not trying to hijack liberalism for your own cause are you? No, feminists would never everly never do such a thing. Does it mean marixism? Cultural marxism? Or just non-discrimination? Equal rights? Meritocracy? Humanism? ‘Atheism+’? Egalitarianism? Which kind of egalitarianism? Isn’t egalitarianism the word that means you believe in some form of equality? Is feminism an equality of opportunity or equality of collective outcomes? All of them are forms of equality, but you can’t believe in all of them. So which one is feminism? You need to be more specific. Gender equality? Well that’s exactly as unclear as it was before!
If it just means non-discrimination, well that’s a negative term, it just negates prejudice and discrimination. But isn’t feminism positive? Isn’t it an entire cateory of worldviews based on (unempirical/pseudoscientific) feminist theory modeled after marxist conflict theory? Doesn’t feminism posit tons of claims about “The” patriarchy, men being toxic, there being a rape culture, an earnings wage gap, that 1 in 4 women are raped, and tons of mutually exclusive solutions to all of those things? I’m pretty sure it only negates men’s issues, and you know, proper scientific scrutiny? Doesn’t sound like gender equality to me. Why confuse such a simple negative stance like non-discrimination? And Which one is equality: sex positivism or sex negativism? Because as soon as you pick one, half of feminists suddenly aren’t even feminists, and there’s no way you’ll ever convince them to drop the label, so as a political force, feminism would be rather self defeating wouldn’t it? There’d be a lot of in fighting, and so I hear there is. So if self-identification isn’t effective at determining if someone is a feminist, what’s the point in calling myself one? If you’d like, I can provide you a link to a post with tens of thousands of feminists who disagree that feminism just means equality. Since feminism has become its own antonym is many regards, doesn’t that mean feminism has different meanings? So feminism doesn’t just mean equality, does it? Well, I don’t want any part in that.
I believe in equality, not feminism. You can keep your loaded, confusing, obsessively equivocating, unsalvageable, self-contradicting political label. Please stop proselytizing to people. You’re not going to convince me that I’m already a feminist. Soft conversion didn’t work when christians tried to convince me ‘christian just means you’re a moral person‘. Like hell that’s all it means! So why do you keep evangelizing for feminism? Stop trying to make my spaces feminist spaces. I don’t take kindly to religious dominionism.
You know what? Screw it! I believe in equality, so I’m a feminist. That means I’m an egalitarian, MRA, WRA, liberal Marxist radfem against porn and prostitution, but very supportive of porn and prostitution.”
Me: “Where’d they go?“
If I make a claim relating to ‘feminist women‘, it’s very intentional and specific. It’s not a claim that can be sexist, and the reason why is because it’s a claim about their relationship with their ideology, and I’m not the one who made their ideology about their gender, feminists did that themselves. And it’s only a generalization, not an authoritative, blanketed statement.
