Serious question that I've never understood. Why is it a gender, so held back by sexual discrimination, are keen to perpetuate it? The evidence is very clear:

  • Any feminism / female space on reddit will contain large amounts of misandry
  • Any female relationship discussion spaces (ie. FDS) will contain large amounts of misandry
  • Even simply posting in this subreddit will get you banned from numerous subreddits automatically
  • We've all seen the clothing on ETSY ("I hate men")
  • A quick hashtag search shows #ihatemen is mentioned over twice as often as #ihatewomen

I still don't understand. Why are women so sexist? When they've been held back by sexism, for so many decades, why are they so actively promotion sexism?

Why are feminists so transphobic and homophobic?

And finally if feminism is about equality then why is it called feminism instead of equality why isn't it called egalitarianism?
