23 Ways Feminism Has Made the World a Better Place for Men

I was about to go through this list on a case-by-case basis, but it appears that saying "citation needed" applies to every single one of those "facts". Not sure what else I was expecting from such a clickbait-y site.

I just find this stuff utterly bizarre.

There's stuff which is obviously just crazy, like claiming that feminism was responsible for the civil rights movement.

There's stuff which is just illogical, like claiming that legalizing abortion has improved men's reproductive choices even though men can't have abortions and have no control of any kind over whether a woman has one.

And there's stuff which is just made up, like claiming feminism was responsible for the jockstrap (it was invented by a man named Charles Bennett and he filed a patent for it).

What is it about feminism which seems to make otherwise reasonable people think they don't even have to check their facts? It seems like the one in five lie isn't an exception, it's par for the course.

While we're on the topic, women also invented TV dinners, the first computer and Jell-O.

That's funny. TIL that Charles Babbage was a woman.

What's interesting is that almost all of these are indirect and unintended consequences. The article is trying to suggest that "feminism helps men too" which is not completely accurate.

\6. It gave men more reproductive control through abortion legalization.

wot?

That entire article is bullshit.

I can't even get past the title without asking, "what!?"

Many of those "points" are under attack by feminists

Except that every country with feminism has broken families, men that go their own way, and increasing std rates among women. Feminism ran its proper course 100 years ago.
