Wow, I am shocked. A feminist in support of the MRM? And most people are in support of it from what the votes tell us?
Genuinly surprised.
I don't think the MRM and feminism can work together, sadly. When it comes to feminism it has a lot of beliefs that just conflict with what the MRM genuinly believes and has reason not to believe in (wage gap, patriarchy, rape culture, etc). This is why I dislike feminism alltogether even though there are "some" that are people looking for what feminism claims to be, however they have very little power or voice in the movement. You also have to remember than feminism brings in money due to the beliefs they have and the action funded to be against that percieved threat even if that threat is not there, and by refuting their beliefs, you would give reason for them not to be funded and they lose money.
I don't think the MRM and feminism can work together, they have too man conflicting views and feminism is not what it claims to be, and it's shown by the recent convention "A Voice For Men" is doing and how feminists, a group of people claiming the patriarchy is trying to take away their voices, are allowed to try make sure people do not speak about male issues.
Feminism is more so in to creating issues to keep itself relevant to the point their reasons for needing feminism is because people don't think feminism is needed, or "stare rape", and so many other ridiculous reasons.
The thing about the MRM is that they are trying to face real problems rather than create problems out of the dirt to keep themselves relevant.
I'm not gonna lie, maybe I am just claiming the title of feminist just to defend it for women (and allies) not just of the western world, but for any female who still does see it as a fighting fit name for gender equality and justice. I find myself tilting towards calling myself a humanist at times just out of shame for the women who just use this term as an outlet for revenge like those women at the convention. That's why I welcome both well intentioned MRA and Feminist beliefs.
Granted, there are some logical fallacies in feminism; The Slippery Slope idea of the BanBossy campaign for example and granted, there may surely be times when MRAs might need to be corrected on their use of logical fallacies- I find straw-manning is a popular one that both sides are guilty of; In truth, I'm guilty of thinking that MRAs just whined about the friend zone stopping them getting laid.
I guess what I'm trying to say is from my personal experience with feminism or just any hunt for equality, I'm leading with my heart a whole lot more than I'm leading with my head. It's probable that other activists, feminist or not are guilty of doing the same. For better or for worse.
If anything, I would say feminism insults women as much as any other misogynist group out there by how they install fear in to women and fight for government to look after them like children.
I would call myself a humanist if I was in your shoes. It's gotten to the point where people like yourself are the minority in the group and feminism isn't all that great a thing to stand behind, I'd even say they are part of the gender problem.
The whole MRA being friendzoned and stopping being laid isn't really a great one, primarily such shaming tactics were brought up by feminists. In truth the MRM is filled with women aswell as men, some women being among the top dogs in their movement.
I would look in to the MRM completely to base your judgements on them. You will meet negative people in the group, however you'll find that such people aren't taken serious and arenn't among the representatives of the group.
lmao thank you. alot of woman dont want equal rights they just want men to not be d bags to them and treat them with respect. lmao "look after them like children" thank you for that halla halla
