Hello from a feminist

Hello!

a woman posting in a men’s space

This is not a men's space, it is a space about men that welcomes everybody.

But you are right, men need their own spaces, and the ability to say what they think without outside interference and policing.

I've never had a feminist really answer this question.

Why do you support a movement that supports rape and rapists (if the perpetrators are women)?

EmirikolWoker · 2021-08-06T11:31:12+00:00

I realize that sounds weird as I’m a woman posting in a men’s space

This is a mens' rights space, not a mens' space. Some of the biggest names in the movement are women, such as Karen Straughan, Alison Tieman, Janice Fiamengo.

as a feminist, I believe that your need to discuss your own interests as men is both valid and necessary.

This is where there might be a sticking point: The foundational principals of all flavours of feminism (class warfare between men and women with men winning, shorthanded as "Patriarchy") are inherrently anti-male when you examine what needs to be true for them to accurately describe reality. Some mens issues, such as child-custody, services for domestic violence survivors, false rape allegations, and the shutting down of mens' rights advocacy groups and platforms are a direct result of continued feminist activism. As such, mens issues is innately antifeminist, and continued identification with the label indicates tacit support for the feminists in academia, media, and law who Are Like That.

That said, your personal approval is appreciated. Welcome.

Hi there.

As others have mentioned this is not a men only space. There are women here too. Myself being one of them. Though the majority members being men as expected. The group is more about the biases faced by men in today's world. And contrary to the propaganda no a woman hating sub.

The first step to egalitarianism.

We all have issues, perhaps they should be solved together.

Wylanderuk · 2021-08-06T20:59:18+00:00

Well thanks for thinking of others when you find out that shit can happen to you too.

Want a cookie?

Controlling speech shows that feminism is nothing but a power group. I don't know why you identify with a movement that hates half the population...men.

Men don't need anything from women. Thanks for your concern.

Our species has an inbuilt instinct to protect and provide for females. There has never been any need to leverage that instinct with a political movement. From the beginning, feminism has been about giving women extra privileges with respect to responsibilities. It has always been a case of equality when and only when they choose.

EvilLothar · 2021-08-06T14:12:43+00:00

Welcome. The best way feminists can help men is to stay out of male only spaces. If you come across a space that is only for men, don't try to change it to suit you (or women).. if you are welcomed in, and you probably will be, leave it alone.

MrRonchito · 2021-08-06T16:06:51+00:00

It's funny, since radical or woke feminists, hate women like you even more than they hate us men.

ImportantResults · 2021-08-06T23:36:30+00:00

Try saying that in r/Feminism. :D

I remember seeing this video once and this post reminds me of it.

Ashby_Kricheldorf · 2021-08-09T00:59:45+00:00

Dont take my award as simping bois, but I know this lady cant know our struggles but I think she deserves a small token of what reality is.

DavidByron2 · 2021-08-06T14:39:43+00:00

Sorry - why would you be the one offended? You're the member of the hate movement and this is a civil rights board.

I’ve felt an increasing need to protect female-only spaces

Right. Like the KKK wants an all white Amerika and the Nazis wanted lebensraum. Or the Southern Segregationists wanted their whites only safe spaces.

the need for men to have their own spaces too

I'll pass. We're not bigots. We like women. In fact this isn't a sub for men it's a sub for anyone interested in civil rights for men. There's plenty of women here.

No, you're an anti-male bigot posting on a civil rights board for men. Your sex doesn't matter. Your politics do. But even so with all that hate we welcome you here so long as you don't post kiddy pron and then pretend one of us did to get the board shut down like other feminists sometimes try.

as a feminist, I believe that your need to discuss your own interests as men is both valid and necessary

You don't get it at all. It reminds me of how Hitler said the Jews could all go live in Madagascar.

This is not a male space this is a space for mens rights women are the most needed here.

Feminism actively works against male spaces either forcing women to be included in them by quotas (while not doing the opposite for female spaces) or by smearing, slandering or pushing for male only spaces to be banned without discussion or debate, you disagree with feminism = hatespeech.

So if you actually believe what you say then you should rethink why you identify as feminist and look at the actual actions and effects of feminism.

That dictionary definition of feminism that pretends it wants equality only exists there, in teh dictionary, in practice the only goal of feminism is the ''empowering of women'' full stop never bothering in considering or debating or correcting the detrimental effects that the changes or policies they push in society cause on men.
Egalitarian is the word you are looking for, you are an egalitarian.

Confident_Cry2585 · 2021-08-20T02:30:03+00:00

yes , but they waste all their time only hating women and feminists , feels like women are center of their world but they claim to say they dont bother with what women do.
