Are feminist hated male family members?

PeonSupremeReturns · 2024-07-19T16:58:35+00:00

The women in my family are all feminists. Some are less strident than others, but when some triggering event occurs, they all close ranks on the men in the family.

Many feminists compartmentalize their thinking. They are often supportive of family members as long as they are in the "family" category, but when they do something that reminds the feminists of their gender, when they "become" male, that's when they get villified.

It's just one more way many Feminists live deeply within cognitive dissonance.

Yes, feminism will most definitely teach women/girls to hate male family members, both directly and indirectly. Feminism creates a lot of propaganda and revisionist history to present men as evil or oppressors, which in turn creates resentment from women towards all men(especially towards men that women wouldn't be physically attracted to, like friends, colleagues and family members). This is more true today with younger girls getting all kinds of misandric/feminist content from social media and feminism being given so much free reign and legitimacy in western society.

Feminism will teach women/girls to be hyper sensitive of just about anything that is either skeptical or judgmental of anything women do, which will cause those women to react with far more aggression when they are questioned or called out on their own bad behavior by men. It's also teaching girls/women to be hyper combative to any kind of authority from men, which teaches them to resent and oppose any authority. This can make it a lot more difficult for fathers to discipline their daughters against poor behavior, even when they are being completely fair.

Feminism also teaches girls/women to have a lot of condescending or antagonistic attitudes towards men who are their seniors(fathers, uncles, grandfathers, older brothers, etc) because they are men, which also makes it very hard for those men to mentor those women/girls, who are often very quick to show those men nothing but disrespect and belligerence because they are men. You can also see how terms like "mensplaining" can often be misused or abused by girls and younger women to dismiss or vilify any kind of input from older family members.

My feminist sister and sister-in-law are the reason why I hate feminism.

SchwiftedMetal · 2024-07-20T02:04:51+00:00

No. These feminists are so full of themselves they are convinced they can always tell who the “noble” guys are. But their criteria is either they like them personally, theyre fanily, or they parrot whatever the feminist says. That’s it.

Everyone else is a bad guy regardless of how little sample size they have. Theyre such garbage, egotistical monsters.

My mom (1946-2020) was a feminist, yet she adored her father and her two sons. Even though she had been deep in academia in the 1970s, I think she had some sort of delusion that feminists were actually seeking equality and not female supremacy.

[ADDENDUM: To be fair, the 70s was the last time that a reasonably pro-male current in feminism wasn't taboo, with prominent feminists openly stating their support for things like legal paternal surrender, and I think it's the last time Warren Farrell was still considered a feminist in good standing].

Whenever I brought up examples of feminists showing misandry, my mom dismissed them as unrepresentative "angry lesbians."

I wonder, how many Boomer feminists are having a crisis of faith now that anti-male family laws they at least tacitly supported are being used against their sons and preventing them from seeing their grandchildren?

My mother had tried to make me hate my father

Capable-Mushroom99 · 2024-07-19T23:48:39+00:00

Maybe I’m lucky, my mother and grandmothers are/were very traditional, I have no sisters or aunts, and my daughter and nieces are respectful to elders even if they don’t agree. Sisters in law can be more difficult but apart from one cheating b*tch that is long divorced, we are pretty friendly and just avoid political subjects where we know we disagree.

Flimsy-Rip-5903 · 2024-07-20T00:03:19+00:00

Yes. They’re nauseating. That’s why we don’t invite the feminist idiots of the family to any events. They always find something to bitch about and be a victim of, so we just exclude them. The sane females of the family can’t stand the feminists either. They come with us all and we have a wonderful time.

Vegetable_Ad1732 · 2024-07-19T18:07:19+00:00

Man I wish you had worded that question differently. Even after reading the entire OP I'm still not sure WTF you are asking.

corporate_robot_dude · 2024-07-19T17:56:38+00:00

Male feminists typically fall under the following categories:

Pretender simps thinking that being a white knight will get them laid
Men raised by sisters, or being surrounded by a predominantly female environment.
Blue pilled guys. Usually they lucked out early on by finding a decent girl and so therefore are oblivious to the modern realities of being a man. Or just oblivious in general and are sheltered.
Men who had good experiences with dating due to being rich/tall/handsome. Similar to #2, these men likely settled down early and didnt have to experience the "modern woman"

dadumdoop · 2024-07-20T06:32:53+00:00

Not hate, but certainly don't support or empathize, if an issue occurs they're quick to blame masculinity and isolate men

Common-Ferret-1435 · 2024-07-19T16:06:48+00:00

They’re the patriarchy, therefore evil.

meowwaifu · 2024-07-19T21:06:04+00:00

i was raised in a very traditional arab home so myself including all of my female family members were (and are) very anti feminist so never had that issue. I always saw the women in my family treating males as superiors and would never shame them or put them down etc.

However, some of the friends I had growing up were feminist(s) and absolutely would treat a lot of the males in their family awful due to “patriarchy”.

StrikingFig1671 · 2024-07-19T18:39:47+00:00

I definitely wouldn't put it past them

Igualdad23M · 2024-07-19T19:40:39+00:00

Tbh I didn't understand so well what you meant.

Anyway I don't think feminists necessarily hate their father brothers etc. They may but most of them don't hate them.

we always try to excuse feminism in feminists and we tend to think the way they are because they were hurt by a father or a boyfriend or something, is much more simple most women are feminist because feminism gives them extra shit just for being women and most people like to get as much shit sa they can. Just business.

Sintar07 · 2024-07-19T22:30:20+00:00

I couldn't tell you. I am very fortunate in that most women in my family loathe feminists.

The thing about 'feminism' is that it's an ideology. It's like religion. Some people are in it neck-deep, others are in it waist-deep, and others just dip their toes into the concept. Because it's an ideology, and because it is widely promoted, even people who aren't really 'primed' into what the ideology is REALLY about, or its history, etc., will claim to be 'feminist' because it's the 'popular', 'righteous', 'correct' thing to do. Again, to use the analogy of religion, not all adherents to a religion are truly faithful to said religion; not all believers are the good kind of believers, and sometimes, if said religion is the majority 'norm' in a specific area, chances are everyone will be into it because if you aren't, then you're going ostracised in some way or other. There are 'extreme' feminists who hate everything, including other women who do not conform to their cultist b-llsh-t. There's moderate feminists who might border on extremism but not-quite. There's 'chill' feminists. There are people who claim to be 'feminist' but who think feminism is just about 'putting women first and above all things', and use this misguided notion to act entitled around people. There are 'feminists' who fake being 'feminist' to garner sympathy and support from other 'feminists', but the only cause they actually 'fight for' is the individual cause of personal gain.

Chill feminists are fine. Moderate, level-headed feminists are fine. Encountering these types, though, is rare. You're usually able to tell on which end of the 'feminist' spectrum a woman falls into when you ask them questions like: 'Should men be given paternity leave?' 'If a woman asks a man out on a date, should she pay?' 'What are your opinions on transgender rights?' If they're extremist, or express extreme views, avoid them like the plague. And if a woman hates a family member simply for the fact that they're 'male' because they're 'feminist', (and not because of any deep seated reason that might be traumatic in nature), that right there is an extremist and doesn't deserve nice things like 'family' or 'friends'.

Again, to compare it to religion: All Christians are 'taught' by their 'holy' book to love one another. They claim to follow their 'holy' book. Some of them try their best. Others nitpick on their 'holy' book to find passages that justify hating on specific groups of people for this-or-that reason. Not all Christians are the 'hateful' kind, but you'll know one when you meet one, and if you meet one, run.

P. S. The whole 'nitpicking', 'hypocrisy', and 'justifying being an a-se through adhered-upon ideologies' applies to ALL RELIGIONS and ALL IDEOLOGICAL MOVEMENTS. I'm just using Christianity because I'm assuming you all are more familiar with it, than, say, the hypocrisy of Confucians or the scriptural nitpicking habits of Hindus.

my three brother always support me help me in my difficult time unlike my sister who always criticize my life my job my daugther she want to make me into a second her i don't feel close to her

InsaneBasti · 2024-07-20T10:47:33+00:00

Goes both ways. Mostly yes and that is the first expierience to feminism to many ppl; but some just go "ALL men... exept mine" which is also verry unhealthy for a kid trying to understand the world and actually one of the main causes of incest. "All men are disgusting pigs! Why is my brother the only cute guy" Maybe youre the problem, raised by a twisted worldview, and your brother is the only one that has to be nice to you.. but who are we to judge.

tilldeathdoiparty · 2024-07-19T18:09:12+00:00

Most men can have no respect for someone with different opinions and not hate them.

They can also hate someone and still have respect for them.

I know a couple of Feminists whose dad is not great, wasn’t around, total drunk, never paid a dime of child support but his daughter think he will do no wrong. I’m their older brothers best friend and they hate me and him even tho I’m like half a step to the right of centre, he’s a little further out to the right but not into crazy land.

They can’t handle a differing opinion, so it drives them nuts when they can’t force things they way they want them.

antlindzfam · 2024-07-19T18:57:56+00:00

Im a feminist, I have many men in my family I love. And I have some really good friends who are men.

independance_soft1 · 2024-07-19T23:09:16+00:00

"Do," not, "Are."

"Hate," not, "hated."

Unless you are asking if feminists are men, it should be,

"Do feminists hate male family members?"
