Those websites misrepresent feminism. Feminism is not about bashing men. Feminism is about the right to choose, whether it be to choose to be a lesbian childless corporate executive, or a humble housewife. And that no man can force a woman to live a life that she refuses. Meanig that I will not be executed should I decide that I don't want to be someone wife.
For the most part, I believe that these feminists you speak of truly intend to "bring men down a notch". From my studies, part of the hatred for men stems from overly publicized domestic violence cases, misrepresented statistics (or in other words, the reader did not have an accurate understanding of how the statistics were made) and the growing rate of struggling single Mother homes. No matter what, there will always be a reason for them to hate men until they receive a further education of what true feminism is.
Personally, I see their philosophy as a paradox.
"I deserve rights, freedom and equality, I am an independent women, but men should treat me like a porcelain doll because I am incapable of making responsible decisions and accepting the consequences of my actions, therefore MEN suck".
Funny how many of the struggling singke Mother statistics show strong correlation with unwed mother statistics. You chose to have a man who would not legally commit to you father your child and now it's a shock that he's left you? Oh those horrible men.
From a perspective of a feminist, those women make us all look weak and incapable of handling ourselves. That's freedom, they know the risks of what they do and blame men for it anyway...
You may hate that brand of feminism because it is popular, unopposed, and bashes men (you). I hate it because it only reinforces the fact that women are still at the mercy of men and can't be anything other than victims. Me.
It's not about bashing men, feminists bash men. It's not for special tretmeant, yet feminists want special treatment. I agree completely with why feminism came around, I don't agree with the feminism that happens today, which is why I could of been classed a feminist before I started using the internet and looking up the whole subject.
Yes, feminism is about getting choice, their choice. They usually don't care or even like when males get to have choice. For example, the majority of feminists I have talked to respectfully before just branding them as feminists looking for special treatment or man hater, I ask if they are for financial abortion in a way that a woman still gets to choose if she gives brith to the child (full control of her body and future), and males get to choose if he'll be a father or not (his choice for his future). When I ask the majority of feminists this, they either call me sexist or ignore answering the question all together, regardless of it being the main question asked.
The original feminism I am all for, equal treatment completely, but today's feminism betrays yesterday's feminism.
Yes, I agree, although domestic violence studies show that women are 40% of the victimizers. Regardless of that, we only hear about male victimizers in domestic abuse cases. We need to start putting the right ammount of blame on women for their actions just like we do men.
That paradox thing, I agree with. Unfortunatly, society tries to help that paradox look like a good way to run, which is terrible.
I completely agree, women aren't paying close enough attention to the men they are having sex with to see if they are ready to be fathers or ever will be ready to be fathers, yet falls pregnant anyway, then they get shocked when he leaves. They think that just by having a child with someone means that someone is going to change completely at the snap of a finger.
It depends, although you listed some reasons why I do hate the feminism brand. I dislike it because in this struggle for equality, only they are being heard aswell.
Yes, I think the financial abortion idea would be the best one for our species in terms of reproduction rights and the population itself. I also think that child benefits shouldn't be offered unless the man did sign the contract to be the father, then something had happened to him when he was the one bringing home the money. Although, I don't think child benefits should be given to the women that have children when they knew they won't have a father to support the child and she doesn't either.
This way, slowly but surely, people only ready to commit to being a parent will want to have children, because without getting money left and right from everywhere just for having a fatherless children, women would be more careful in who they have a child with, which would make them more careful with men in terms of falling pregnant. I think it would solve our population problem aswell.
I've never liked a single piece of feminist literature I've read
