Why am I censored when I ask why people think that women are worse off when it's clearly not true (in wealthy nations)?

It goes against the narrative of women as victims and men as oppressors. Feminist dogma is so much part of their identity that they cannot tolerate criticism against it.

Ideological fanaticism, men are scum, men are the enemy and always the perpetrators or abusers in their heads, therefore men can't be victims of anything.

You have to understand that at this stage, feminism is big money. It's business to these people. They've moved beyond mere ideology. They have zero interest in honest discussion. So by raising these questions, you're attacking their income. Of course, they're going to deal with you in a harsh manner.

Protect The Narrative.

I think Karen Straughn said it best (I think it was Karen anyway)

"Feminists might not hate men, but they did name everything bad after them".

When your ideology is built upon the idea that all men oppress all women, admitting the truth you did shakes your very foundation.

2017-05-25T17:12:09+00:00

Because you are questioning religious dogma.

Feminism is a religion.

Karen Straughan calls it the "one-good-man syndrome". Men think they need to sacrifice themselves and rescue women from all the other evil men out there.

Add to that the female in-group preference, and you got the solution.

Feminism serves the plutocracy. To attack feminism is to attack the plutocracy. Attacking the plutocracy pisses off the plutocrats and their servants.

I'm going to copy-paste an answer I just wrote to another question.

Short answer: The SJW phenomenon is a pain in everyone's ass. This sort of argumentative question is no better. It's as [insert clever comment on extremism] as the SJWs

See below:

I'm a 42 year old, white male. I'm a staunch advocate of equality. I was raised with the normal crap about men being assumed to be naturally predatory and women being naturally more...sugar and spice.

There came a point where I began to see the inequality of the family court system, its negative impact on good fathers and their children. I became infuriated at the inherent injustice that is systemic to the justice system.

There came a point, though, when I realised I had become what I despised. I actively dismissed reasonable points made by unreasonable people. Men have, absolutely, suffered great injustice. And their children have paid the price along with them.

I had the luxury of beginning university at the age of thirty. One of my majors was gender equality. I wanted to 'know my enemy'. Perhaps I was lucky, but every one of my professors (all female) was a Third Wave Feminist. That's the group of rational people who choose to call themselves Feminists. That's the group of rational people who recognise that everyone faces some form of prejudice.

I'm a Western, white male teaching in China. I have my job primarily because I'm Western and white. My Chinese colleagues are paid far less than me. I've been teaching for eighteen years and some of them have more experience than me.

There is such an animal as white privilege, even white, male privilege. At the same time, this is one of the few countries I've taught in where I haven't felt the slightest concern that, as a male teaching children, I very well might be perceived as being a paedophile. There is such a thing as women's privilege as well. There is even such a beast as non-white privilege.

My long-winded point is: Don't allow yourself to become polarised. Don't forget there was a time that women could not vote. Don't forget there was a time that children were considered the property of their fathers. Don't forget there was a time when 'Niggers' were also property.

Don't forget there was a time when men were expected to be the sole supporters of their family. Don't forget that they were denigrated or put into prison if they could not satisfy their 'manly' duties. Don't forget that the police will not enforce court orders allowing children to be with their fathers. Don't forget that the Ghetto is still the Ghetto. Don't forget...

And move forward. Engage. Sit down, calmly. Take a deep breath. Curtail your emotional response. Think rationally. Speak gently, and frankly.

If the person across the table will not do so, walk away. But find someone who will! Perhaps that person is not worth engaging. On the other hand, you will never know until you try. Intelligently. Thoughtfully. Earnestly.

Because "worse off" is subjective, and women seem to place more value on social issues. Whether or not one is "worse off" is up to the individual.

majortom22 · 2017-05-25T17:42:53+00:00

The truthful and concise answer is that feminism is a religion It is a secular religion which seems like an oxymoron, but start looking at it from that point if view and you'll see.

Not to go political but the modern Left (not liberals -The Left) is a religion too.

Got to keep things special for the exalted ones (female chauvinist pigs).

White women: the most entitled overall demographic of human beings on the face of the planet.
