I Don't Need Feminism Because...

I do however need a photo editor to fix the aspect ratios of those photos to be able to read those statements.

These are the Women who are truely standing up for equality.

Nice to see this, unlike my female professor making these claims and then go on a rant about how men are inferior and should be treated as such.

the_omega99 · 2014-03-08T17:20:25+00:00

I think some of these are pretty mediocre. The fifth image (reading left to right) makes that damn annoying "real" distinction. That's just as bad as the people who say "real men..." Not to mention she seems to be "slut shaming".

And really, many of the other pictures are just about how some individuals don't face problems. I think generalizing here is a terrible idea. For example, it's great that the person in the sixth image doesn't need anyone to speak for her, but it's not nearly so easy in countries like Afghanistan where society is more sexist.

At any rate, this post is awful. Seriously, you guys would be all up in arms if someone posted a bunch of pictures of guys with signs stating that they don't need MR "because real men man up" or something. This isn't at all constructive.

My favorite by far is the one that says she doesn't need feminism because she is capable of critical thinking. Is that really so rare...

Can someone transcribe? Can't read a thing.

KRosen333 · 2014-03-08T20:35:03+00:00

Low effort post - yes, we already know there are antifeminists, and yes, we know there are antifeminists in this sub. Our focus here should be on men - the victims we support - rather than on women and feminists (and other men who are not supported, like traditionalists to some degree), who can sometimes say terrible things.

Focus on the victims!

This should be tagged as [Low Effort].

McFeely_Smackup · 2014-03-08T20:35:36+00:00

They may not need feminism, but they do need a graphic that allows their statements to be read.

I have no idea what any of these say.

bunker_man · 2014-03-08T21:51:13+00:00

Can feminism save an image in a readable size?

I Don't Need Feminism Because...

Too many "feminists" don't understand the difference between sexism and feminism.

echief · 2014-03-09T01:21:20+00:00

"My self worth is not directly tied to the size of my victim complex"

Unbelievably spot on. I think all of Tumblr needs to hear those words.

stoudman · 2014-03-08T23:19:38+00:00

That might be the most empowering thing I've seen all year.

gazork_chumble_spuzz · 2014-03-09T02:29:07+00:00

I like these gals...I think we'd get along well. I'm not a feminist because I don't feel like I need it. In my experience, it also hasn't really been supportive of my choices or opinions - I married young, I had kids young, I stay home with them; I think it's wrong to abort your unborn kid unless you have a damn good reason, I think there are some inherent differences between the sexes that result from our biology and can't be erased through socialization, I think slut walks are stupid and do nothing to make a good point, I think it's a mistake for people to have casual sex, etc. There is no place in feminism for me, not that I have found. I don't see the point in going where I'm not wanted. Feminism - pure, true feminism like the suffragists held to - is something I could get behind, but it's not needed anymore here in Canada because life for women here is pretty great. If I were living in the middle east I would need feminism. But here in Ontario? I do not. Men are decent and respectful, I can do anything I want (including go topless, but I don't want to, and I don't know anyone who does...), I can be who I want and make all my own choices, and I will not be held back from it just because of my gender.

ZimbaZumba · 2014-03-08T19:45:47+00:00

I need feminism like a fish needs a bicycle.

Priceless.

lenspirate · 2014-03-08T21:14:13+00:00

Some of us are old and can't read what those young whipper-snappers wrote down with their cute markers and their heart-dotted i's and lower-case j's....

Theophagist · 2014-03-08T23:13:25+00:00

Notice not a single one mentions the real victims of feminism. It's still all "me me me."

I think of that scene in Reservoir Dogs after Mr. Orange shoots Mr. Blonde. The cop tied up in a chair with his ear cut off starts mewling about having been mutilated. Orange screams "Fuck you!! I'm dying over here."

That's how I feel when women talk about how feminism hurts them. Oh did feminism hurt your precious feels? I'm sure a free STEM degree you'll never use will make it better. In the meantime men are being destroyed and society with them.

Fantastic

I wish my handwriting was that neat...

diamondeyes18 · 2014-03-08T21:03:34+00:00

It's funny, this is exactly what feminism was about 50 years ago.

Egalitarianism ftw. Bless these women.

Arakin · 2014-03-08T21:41:33+00:00

They're all brain washed by the patriarchy.

omfg · 2014-03-08T22:50:13+00:00

I thought I recognized a woman in one of the panels and thought to myself, "Huh, she used to be a radfem. Has she really changed her views? That would be great!" Checked her Facebook page. Nope.

bingbangbingle · 2014-03-09T01:00:32+00:00

While these mostly all good points, there are people who cannot / are not in a position to fight for themselves. The ultimate aim of feminism is gender equality, whilst embracing the fact that both genders have their advantages. Well, at least that what i thought was taught it was

eugenethedramaqueen · 2014-03-08T22:35:23+00:00

Can't read.

Is it a pic for ants only?

jpflathead · 2014-03-08T16:02:32+00:00

Those are awesome.

Lothrazar · 2014-03-09T00:06:36+00:00

Anyone got a higher rez that I can actually READ

nicholasferber · 2014-03-09T02:38:36+00:00

Hey guys... The second from bottom left is not cool. Read what she has written.

Glazed_BEagle · 2014-03-09T02:42:33+00:00

Fucking hell, you are a sad, ignorant bunch of crybabies. Get a fucking life, all of you.

Triensus · 2014-03-09T08:18:22+00:00

Is there a way to upvote more than once?

Casemods · 2014-03-09T08:31:55+00:00

Most of them are too small to read.

Papasmurf143 · 2014-03-08T19:16:03+00:00

that 6th one is slut shaming like a mother fucker and it's just so wrong in so many ways. the rest of them are intelligent and cogent (with the exception of the fish need a bicycle one) though unintelligible in their hand-writing. good post overall except for that 6th one.

its_all_one_word · 2014-03-09T01:02:15+00:00

I don't need feminism because feminists teach young men that if they want casual sex, they are objectifying women and they teach young women that if they want casual sex, they are acting out daddy issues when biology should really explain both of these cases most of the time.

I don't need feminism because it often overcompensates for women's issues and leads to unfair public policy for men. Advocating for gender equality rather than feminism or men's rights would correct this.

I don't need feminism because it promotes the idea that rape and domestic violence are caused by men who are taught to treat women like objects and they bully people for disagreeing, so there cannot be a real conversation about what causes these social ills and by saying that it is about men controlling women, it presents women as victims and invalidates violence among gay couples.

magicaxis · 2014-03-08T22:55:33+00:00

I'm really glad I saw this. Being subscribed to this sub can blow the dumbbitch-proper woman ratio way out of proportion in the mind, and its good to see some reminders on this sub that there are smart women out there who aren't evil.

ToGrandmaOswego · 2014-03-08T20:47:48+00:00

Such stupidity. Feminists fought for the rights they take advantage of without a bit of appreciation. It's like the anti-vaccine people - since they don't see the devastating effects of the illnesses we get vaccinated against, they attack the very thing that go us to this point.

redsfan21 · 2014-03-08T19:10:04+00:00

This is why this sub is going downhill. This sub has become /r/ihatefeminists which isn't quite the same thing as men's rights.

rsmith161 · 2014-03-09T02:47:37+00:00

I didn't know rednecks were articulate.

themboness · 2014-03-08T22:53:08+00:00

Ugh. They're all so fucking ugly. Such a shame

Edit: wow what is this feminist-land, where we need to pretend 'every womyn is beautiful?' fuck that PC garbage, i'll exercise my free speech.

cboyd420 · 2014-03-08T19:20:33+00:00

I thought chicks had good handwriting. Nope.
