Feminism does nothing but decrease gender equality viciously, in favor of women.

is there an article missing? or this just a general conversation starter?

the comment stirred up a little discussion, but it would have been better with a paragraph or a link to back it up.

Really? Nothing?

So that whole "right to vote thing" doesn't count? Abortion rights?

You could maybe make a case that feminism is, on the whole, harmful. But to say that it hasn't done anything good is either laughably ignorant or despicably dishonest.

And guess what - nobody gives a damn.

In the extensive Who else is disgusted by this discussion every other comment is "this is made up" or "not all women are like this"... but I haven't find a single one expressing disbelief "Could this really happen? That a woman can unilaterally destroy man's life at her whim by 'cashing out', enslaving him with CS and alimony? This is so wrong, immoral and un-egalitarian!"

Nope, no gender equality there.

I think it's good that you're fighting for men's rights, because obviously there are some areas where you have a preference as a woman. But I think you've misunderstood feminism. Feminism is about getting equal rights for men and women, mainly focusing on women's rights, because throughout history, women have had significantly less rights than men. Personally I think feminism is a stupid name for it and that it should be named gender equality or something to that effect, and that we should be working together as and for both sexes.

Have a good day.

Well if it decreases equality it isn't feminism. I think a lot of people confuse the radicals for the the true feminists. Who, by the way, do what they can in the name of equality regardless of gender.

I disagree. True feminists (although I agree there could be a better distinguishing name) are for gender equality- not changing the tables around. I would call myself a feminist, and am male.
