What do you like about feminism?

ThatDieselTruck · 2022-12-23T01:44:58+00:00

I'd try to lay out some insights, but I don't want to be accused of mansplaining.

Final_Philosopher663 · 2022-12-23T01:36:25+00:00

I mean some by products of course have helped and it has helped us to understand the dire need for Men's Rights.

_SackOfButtholes_ · 2022-12-23T01:43:27+00:00

I admire the callous ruthlessness they have for the opposite sex.

And I'm being sincere.

Could you imagine what we could accomplish if we were as cold blooded and vicious as they are? If we could all present a unified face that didn't crumble at the first sign of quivering lips and wet puppy dog eyes? To make up heinous lies to support your position? To be able to mentally divorce men from the human condition?

We'd be equals in very short order; how do you think they did it...

TrilIias · 2022-12-23T01:25:58+00:00

I admire the ferocity with which feminists seem to be motivated. They're fighters, I'll give them that.

Shame there isn't a single redeeming quality to appreciate about what they fight for.

Mr_SH_and_his_pet · 2022-12-23T02:21:25+00:00

I admire the fact that they are proud of the people they are, so much so that they see themselves as superior. In the case of feminism, it’s usually to the point that it’s just offensive to everyone else, but it’s still a good quality to love yourself.

Merry Christmas 🎄!

Reasonable_Listen514 · 2022-12-23T03:33:27+00:00

As much as I hate what they've ultimately done to society, got to admire them for so aggressively pursuing their agenda to the point they got the societal change they wanted.

I wish more men could wake up, organize, and pursue positive change for our own interests in the same way. Men and boys are constantly losing ground in western society, and too many men are either blind to it or indifferent until it bites them hard first hand.

Stunning-Cost-5752 · 2022-12-23T01:28:45+00:00

I'll bite,

Wife comes from China place that does have actual woman's issues

She was treated horribly by family members for being first born during one child policy family members wouldn't even speak to her as a child, her name is not on the family tomb.

She has a brother the hardships that her family had to overcome hiding and working underground to have their family is something I couldn't understand

rochesterslim · 2022-12-23T05:56:12+00:00

go away. why be courteous and respectful to an idea which hates you?

buttgoblinforhire · 2022-12-23T07:09:25+00:00

Woman get treated like shit. That is a sad fact the world needs to correct. There is nothing good about mistreating woman. It's awful. Yet. Feminism isn't the answer... you can't uplift an entire group of people by hurting the people around them. Hate is not a solution. Woman's rights is just as important as men's rights and vice versa... but feminism is a hate culture so there's nothing to celebrate about it.

PactScharp · 2022-12-23T01:43:48+00:00

Absolutely nothing.

CrowMagpie · 2022-12-23T03:42:56+00:00

I like that the older versions helped bring about equality for women.

OrganizationThen8345 · 2022-12-23T06:15:46+00:00

This one is a legitimate benefit.

If you’re dating, meet a woman and want to know what she’s like. Ask her about her thoughts on feminist issues that Western women face. Ask her about the “gender pay gap”, “the inequality women face in the west”, the “patriarchy”.

If she doesn’t say, “that stuff is total BS” then you know that she’s a walking red flag and you run for the hills.

Massive effort, money and time saver.

bezm12 · 2022-12-23T05:26:31+00:00

That it exposed women for what they are and they feel so confident talking about things openly and exposing how they truly think.

Trev6ft5 · 2022-12-23T01:15:36+00:00

What's good about the ww2 SS?

Oksamis · 2022-12-23T01:11:29+00:00

Feminism lost virtually all value by its third wave

mikesteane · 2022-12-23T06:26:34+00:00

They are disciplined, have great uniforms and get things done.

Edit: sorry I was getting confused with Nazis because they're so similar. No, there's nothing I like about feminism.

McSmarfy · 2022-12-23T06:38:30+00:00

It gives mentally ill women the boldness to wave their red flags for the world to see. I like red flags. Warnings are helpful.

Lightning77Plus · 2022-12-23T04:51:35+00:00

It succeeded. Now, however, it's become the very thing it swore to destroy.

chrisdidwht · 2022-12-23T05:56:05+00:00

I like that theyve pushed so far that now feminists dont even try hiding the crap they do. They dont even try to gide their intentions and how much they hate men. How much they want us to suffer. They only see us as meal tickets. And because of this men are starting to wake up. So i love that.

crippledhermit · 2022-12-23T06:05:23+00:00

Nope.

Giga_mad69 · 2022-12-23T18:11:13+00:00

They showed me why I should never date a feminist and I’m grateful for that

glock3299 · 2022-12-23T01:25:07+00:00

Nothing. This is a mens rights board there is enough pro women stuff out there

Depression_Permanent · 2022-12-23T01:49:04+00:00

Nothing

decentish36 · 2022-12-23T05:24:30+00:00

I like what they did in the past in giving women the rights of equality under the law. The actions of feminists in countries with severely restricted women’s rights such as Iran and Saudi Arabia are admirable as well. It’s only really the fourth wave radicals in modern western countries that I take issue with.

b12b3b · 2022-12-23T06:10:25+00:00

Even though they’re 100% wrong 100% of the time, at least fight for what they believe for, even if it is complete hogwash.

AndyBrown65 · 2022-12-23T06:49:08+00:00

What do you like about feminism?

I like how successful it is in manipulating women into a way of thinking. Feminist women see the world in black and white. men = bad, women = good. The world is grey.

When it comes to feminism, feminism is cancer as it is a female supremacist movement. The polar aspect of feminism means that feminism views men as evil oppressors who spend their day demeaning women and thinking about raping them and killing them, and women are these innocent victims who are catcalled and wolf whistled all the way down the street.

The only benefits of feminism is to ruin society. Feminism hates the family unit and statistics tell us how important that is to law and order.

equalRights111 · 2022-12-23T06:57:30+00:00

I admire the logical leaps and spurious reasoning they sometimes use, it really is amazing!

Angryasfk · 2022-12-23T09:17:04+00:00

Contemporary feminism? Not much.

elebrin · 2022-12-23T20:34:16+00:00

There have been some good things feminism did.

Firstly, the Suffragette movement is often considered a feminist movement, and if nothing else, I am in favor of universal suffrage.

Secondly, they have opened up alternative options to women. Women who want to work in the trades, with their hands, or in highly technical fields that are traditionally masculine, is on some level a good thing. I don't think it's good that women are pushed into career over family, but I don't necessarily thing that it's good for men either that we are pushed into career over family much of the time. The traditional model works, after a fashion, assuming everyone involves agrees to it. Alternative models of the family can also work, where two parents both work part time and trade off on raising their child, both parents work full time and children are raised by the family or with the assistance of the community... whatever. Opening up options to people is only a good thing.

Thirdly, feminism got women's medical issues taken seriously. We don't just give women valium so they sit in a corner and drool when they become inconvenient these days, and that's something that very much used to happen. Of course, it happened to boys and men too and that now needs to be taken care of.

There is a lot I do not like about feminism, but they have made some important strides for the female sex. I have no qualms whatsoever with what we now call the social progress of women, until it comes at the expense of men and when all conversation and focus is put on them rather than the our most downtrodden and destitute - who are almost always men.

Empty_Pomegranate362 · 2022-12-23T22:20:42+00:00

I like how feminism has made me a better man. Let me explain I - cannot ask for help with regards to anything or I will be seen weak, so therefore i dont ask for help and not considered weak.
Feminism has made it very difficult for me to get into college or university as to not take the place of a woman who will probably leave her field of expertise once she has a kid, so I went to trade school. Feminism has made it difficult get a decent job as not to take one from a woman, who will probably leave once she has a kid, I to trade school so started my own successful business. Feminism has made impossible to find quality partner who won't up and leave and use the system set up to help her take everything once the going gets tough, this has helped me feel comfortable, confident in my own skin. I love own company and have no problem keeping myself occupied with things like nature, camping, mountain biking, and various hobbies. Feminism has shown me that I'm unimportant, undesirable and untrustworthy as I'm not 6'3" but 5'11" and therfore I don't waste my time even talking the opposite sex, and this helps avoid false claims, BS lawsuits or being topic of discussion on FDS. So as you can see, feminism has helped me become healthy, wealthy and wise. Thanks

daylight_stalker · 2022-12-23T22:52:17+00:00

It helps me sympathize more with Men's rights

TheSnesLord · 2022-12-23T00:59:39+00:00

discuss the benefits of feminism

my sides

ElDono13 · 2022-12-23T04:25:32+00:00

I applaud the 1st and 2nd wave of feminism. That's when they actually had stuff to fight for. Now they're just trying to be more than equal to men.

BlackberryDull402 · 2022-12-23T03:37:51+00:00

They're pretty good at doing mental gymnastics, I'll give them that.

Reddit1984Censorship · 2022-12-23T01:01:24+00:00

Is 100% bad

urmaidcatgirl · 2022-12-23T03:05:55+00:00

I believe ‘feminism’ worked. Yes women were oppressed/downplayed back then. But today, in civilized societies, people just don’t realize how keep pushing this ‘progress’ created a formula that made men backslide and women take the lead, and ironically it’s all with good faith, a ‘good cause’ lol

ReasonVision · 2022-12-23T08:26:18+00:00

I honestly can't say anything. Most people here who give it any credits say "perseverance / determination to achieve its goals", but I've seen Feminists use that trait to ignore valid criticisms brought to them, like a home made brainwashing procedure, so I can't view that as a positive.

Every time I tried to make a moral test for how someone would approach an issue that Feminism says is a problem, the way Feminists have gone about it has failed that test, and they can't even realize they're doing anything wrong.

The constant hypocrisy and double standards,
- the way they constantly say they're not man haters but believe in things which worsen their perspective on men, like "men have always hated women", "all societies before Feminism have been woman-oppressing Patriarchies", "the oppressor cannot be the oppressed" (lmao, I was looking for evidence of them saying this last one and I found an Everyday Feminism article going into this called "Why Reverse Oppression Simply Cannot Exist (No Matter What Merriam-Webster Says)". Also, who knew Feminists talked about CRT as a valid resource in 2015, at least 2 years before Conservatives began to bring it up constantly in their speeches and videos), etc.,
- the way they say they want to help men, but their solutions are "physician, heal thyself", like the solutions to toxic masculinity being something men need to solve,
- the way they promote gender antagonism, for example, pay attention to this: I one time asked why do they bring up unpaid labor, like they don't use it to condemn the boss, the only effect talking about unpaid labor could possibly have is to increase resentment on men, you know what answer I got? "This should be extremely obvious to anyone who cares about equality and taking down male supremacy. Because unpaid labour is an injustice and creates an imbalance of power in a capitalist society." LIKE, WHAT? So you'd have two income streams, the man and the woman's. Let's say society knows that women do more unpaid labor than men (emphasis on more, for any domestic labor a man does is also unpaid). You have two options, for the boss to pay the woman for her domestic labor, which already happens (the way wages work is "you do this work and you consider this amount of money both representative of what you do and sufficient for doing your needs outside of work"), or the boss can pay the man and the man give a part of his wage to the woman for doing house labor. Meaning, the only thing this can do is create resentment towards the man.

Nah, I can't say anything positive about Feminism. When someone says "I'm a Feminist", that's a red flag, I will always approach very carefully so that they don't lash out in their solipsism.

Prestigious-Shape-79 · 2022-12-23T12:54:32+00:00

i like that they make women easier to f**

ignigenaquintus · 2022-12-23T13:13:23+00:00

I think it brought a great deal of awareness to social issues during the last century. It helped rethink to which point the differences between men and women were purely biological (sadly they went full the other extreme making the same mistake but with social reductionism).

Terrible_Head_8847 · 2022-12-23T13:37:46+00:00

Female separatism is a perfectly fine idea (as an individual choice), although they should be consistent and defend male separatism as well. You can’t be in favour of female separatism and against male separatism, or even stay silent on it. Same is true of the other way around, although I personally haven’t heard much disapproval coming from men for many years. Even the twins from the Simpsons who have serious personality flaws, people mostly think it’s their choice.

63daddy · 2022-12-23T15:23:13+00:00

What I lie about feminism is one doesn’t have to look to hard to reveal their true colors. It’s fairly easy to point to ways they discriminate against men and aren’t about equality. I think most people today understand feminism isn’t about equality.

donnasunderland123 · 2022-12-23T19:20:41+00:00

Some colleges didn’t allow women until like the 70s. Ridiculous.

But of course Fem took it too far
