Isn’t it weird...

You've got women and feminists reversed.

Men's rights activists support women's rights but feminists frequently work against men’s rights.

That is why observant people of both sexes think feminism means women are superior to men.

I'm a chick and my daughter and I are anti- modern-day-feminism and pro-men's-rights.

I'm a woman and a supporter of men's rights. Its painfully obvious that modern day feminism has gone too far, at least in my eyes it has. I mean, we have equal rights legally, and it's impossible to erase all hatred towards any group in the world, especially if movements like this keep focusing on it. So to me the goal for feminism will never be accomplished, meaning it will only keep improving life for women. I feel terrible for what feminism has done to men and how people generally stereotype them. Plus there's the section of feminism that goes WAY too far.

I also notice that phrases like "women are superior" and even "girl power" are said casually, without the underlying meaning behind them being considered. If phrases like "men are superior" were said, it would definitely be called offensive, right? I feel like its becoming more common for people of every gender to accept these kinds of things as "empowerment" for women, however I only see it negatively.

Sorry for the little rant but I'm glad I joined this subreddit to get this stuff off my chest.

A little side note: No hate to equality or women, but modern feminism is not my thing.

Exactly, feminism is trying to glorify women under the disguise of equality. They never wanted equality. Sure, they can say and preach that they want equality all they want but their actions shine through and the truth is pretty clear.

Men rights aren't too much of a well known thing, and obviously don't visibly affect women. However, feminism is ingrained into various cultures.

Males are more likely to stumble upon Men's rights because it visibly affects them, while almost everyone knows about feminism.

This is a cultural issue, not RFs being idiots.

Speaking as a woman who used to be against the men's rights movement: I think a lot of women tend to see men's rights as being against women's rights. And they attribute men's rights activists with the hateful men who harass women. But if they saw what it really is, i think they'd change their minds about it. The men-hating women are a different story and I can't speak for that nonsense.

I think that it's because in the public eye, men's rights has been conflated with some less savory movements, or has been misperceived as a trojan horse for persecuting women

Men support feminist rights but women barely support men’s rights?

Dude, most "men" who support feminism, do it not because they actually care about women's rights. They do it to just get puss-puss, that's it. However there some men who do support feminism because they want their daughters and sisters to be safe, i guess. These are the two types of male-feminists I've encountered.

Also, how sometimes women think feminism means women are superior to men?

Those are femcels, broski. I don't think any respectable women would think like that.

2020-10-12T12:27:31+00:00

Oh no feminist support mens rights when there is something in it for them

point5_ · 2020-10-12T14:24:36+00:00

The problem is that men’s rights are mostly unknown

My male university professor works at a campus that is 2/3 female in staff and student body. Yet, will march for females any chance he gets.

hi i'm always here with u guys, i'm a woman

Svenskbtch · 2020-10-12T14:11:36+00:00

Broadly true, but with some caveats.

What struck me when I started reading about mens rights was that at least half of the advocates (of the moderate, not ranting kind) with some prominence were women. The likes of CHS, Cathy Young, Janice Fiamengo. In fact most of them were, as many of the men were more of the type conservatives against many aspects of current progressivisim, such as Jordan P.

And the point about feminism thinking women are superior to men: this, I think, is a phenomenon driven more by the blanket perception that we have thought the opposite throughout history and need to compensate. Some extremists might take this to extremes, but I have met few that, if pushed on the details, would stick to suck a claim. We might be struck by this more because there is no reasonable counternarrative out there, not even in outlets like Fox News who otherwise misses few opportunities to stick it to the left. It stops at pointing out and ridiculing some of the most extreme statements, but few people go out there and make blanket statements about male superiority (and if they did, we would rightly ignore and ridicule them).

TheSkyElf · 2020-10-12T14:15:38+00:00

I think that most women support male rights, but that the ones that don't, are just the loudest ones. In my class, we all try our hardest in an ethics class and just normal classes to figure out what is wrong with the world, and I don't see anyone hating or not supporting the rights of the genders.

It is just those entitled a-holes that "shout" the loudest and drags down everyone. Being a feminist means that they want equal rights, but of course some people have to go and ruin the word and make it into "man-hater". If someone shouts out peaceful or neutral opinions about genders, most won't hear it. If someone shouts out hate then the whole planet will know.

As for the whole "superior to men" thing. A lot of people who get bad experiences first or second hand somehow twist it into one gender being better or worse to make it easier for themselves to comprehend what is going on around them. The truth that both genders have it hard, when you yourself or someone you know have had it bad, is not easy to accept.

Weird and funny. Let them play their little feminism game and get all riled up for nothing while we make it all work like always

CircleToShoot · 2020-10-12T23:01:33+00:00

Maybe but either way but don't hastily point out gaps in anyone's knowledge. Most women are supportive and compassionate once you can explain your point of view.

Women aren't equal to men.

Feminists are Men or Women. Feminism is a theory.

Gender Imbalances cause world strife

Men don't support feminism neither to women - NPC's do and they are in the vocal minority

Feminism is the cause of all problems women face but refuses to fix it since it's own goals would be put down - old patriarchal arrogance as displayed in media is also a disguised for of feminism

Patriarchy Binds responsibility to Men which Men do not complain about. Patriarchy is the rule of Law in Love and mutual respect between Men and the caring and enjoyment of women.

Satan likes to shake his booty to hit home.

Women's Lib is a lie perpetuated to hide the truth most avoided

The Men who support women's lib are vile apes who torment women internally with things they can't handle and which to suck men of their sperms like the whores they are
