Hello I have a question

I don't care about them as long as they're not getting in the way of male liberation and as long as they are not erasing male victims, which sadly they often do.

Feminism is a women's advocacy movement disguised as an equalities movement.

Feminism is a movement for the betterment of women, at any cost.

If it were a movement for equality, then you would be able to predict how it would respond to men being disadvantaged by gender inequality.

There are only so many options they could take:

1) Do nothing 2) Advocate against gender inequality to better men's situation. 3) Advocate for maintaining the inequality. 4) Advocate for extending the inequality to benefit women further, and harm men further.

When you look at areas where men are disadvantaged (education, custody, sentencing, etc...) the feminist movement universally takes options 3 and 4. They never take options 1 and 2.

If they were a movement for equality, they would occasionally take option 1 or 2... but they never do.

So...

That's a pretty vague question, you'll have to be more specific than that otherwise the only generalised answer I can give you I despise the feminist movement especially as it is currently.

The qualities and positions which distinguish "the Feminist movement" from other approaches to gender equality are broadly repugnant and counterproductive.

Feminism is the organised expression of womens' in-group preference. An equivalent movement for men is not really possible due to males carrying an out-group preference.

In future, please put your question in the title of your post to make it easier for readers.

I could write a book on this.

Essentially feminism is sexism masquerading as advocacy.

Say an organisation was doing a lot of useful humanitarian work. Lifting children out of poverty and educating them. Dropping off food parcels to hungry families. Organising drug treatment programs and facilities. All valuable works that addressed real problems in society.

But now imagine that all these programs were being run by the KKK, and only offered to white people. Simultaneously while they were doing all these good works for white people, they were also vilifying and drafting laws to unjustly imprison black people. If you ever tried to raise this, they would claim that they helped all people, despite the overwhelming evidence this was a lie. They would say you just didn't understand what the KKK was all about, that you were ignorant and hated white people. That if more blacks joined the KKK more would be done to help them, but in every place this organisation gathered there were signs up saying that this was a safe space, no niggers were allowed in.

Some of them would say that if black people wanted to solve their problems, they should form an organisation of there own and put the work in. But whenever black people started assembling to do this, the KKK would scream that they were criminals who were dangerous, and couldn't be allowed to congregate or speak among themselves.

Now imagine that this state of affairs had persisted for more than a hundred years, and now the KKK was riddled through government. That KKK academics ran the universities. That the media would only ever run stories that spoke glowingly of the KKK, and helped to dismiss any criticism of them.

It's a clumsy analogy. But that's how I see and feel about feminism.

Feminism IS cancer

Edit : downvote as much as you like, it won't change the fact that feminism is cancer
