How Can Any Regular Here Continue To Be A Feminist

Why aren't there more male feminists?

There are many male feminists! But here are some plausible reasons why more aren't:they don't see what's in it for them- most humans- not just men- are self-interested.they simply don't care. How many women self-identify as feminists? Sometimes, it's just apathy, the ultimate energy-saver. the lack of introspection, and ignorance: this TED talk explores the way we, as a culture, think about gender: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTvSfeCRxe8they tried, but face exclusion from feminist activities and debates. see: Can Men Really Be Feminists? - The Atlanticthey misunderstand what feminism is about, and believe it is about subjugating and humiliating men.they fear getting called out for acting as a so-called White Knight. scratch that: there is full-on character assassination from misogynistic websites: 7 Traits Of The Male Feministsome male feminists give others a bad name. See one: Hugo Schwyzer, and The rise and fall of America's most infamous 'male feminist'. It's also worth noting that he probably isn't a real feminist, just one piggybacking on the movement to make a name for himself, and sleep with his young students. Ironically, if more people knew they might achieve fame and get to hang out with porn stars (both male and female!), they might take up the mantle. Not that it's a good thing, but they would.and lastly, from a dude creatively named 'dude' on the manosphere: "But the vast majority of men still believe and support feminism, either because they are manginas or through sheer ignorance. I don't see it changing anytime soon I'm afraid." From: Don't be that wannabe male feminist, which means there was nothing to worry about in the first place!PS. I think that's another problem: many men do want to be feminists, but they require the proper avenues, too.

Why should we reject feminism?

I remember watching comedian Ali Wong. In her gig she was explaining how angry she is at feminism. Here is a small quote from her performance:I think feminism is the worst thing that ever happened to women. Our job used to be no job. We had it so good. We could have done the smart thing, which would have been to continue playing dumb for the next century… And then all of these women had to show off and say, ‘We can do it, we can do anything!’… They ruined it for us.At first while watching this I was a little bit concern, but finally Ali Wong convinced me.Of course that women are capable of the same things that men. But is it really smart of us to let them know about it?Because of feminism now I'm feeling guilty when a man gives me seat in the bus. I hate standing and I really enjoy a possibility of comfortable seat. But there is always this annoying voice in my head "Should I let this guy know, that I am in the same way capable to stand during the ride in a bus like him? Does he realize that?".And why am I bothering like that?If we as a women really would like to do it right, we should just shut up, sit back and let all men do work for us, as it used to be. Giving us a seats, caring heavy stuffs. Going for work and bringing us money to spend. And what if some accident happen? Do You really wanna take a responsibility and take an action? When You could just cover Your mouth with hand, scream "I think I am fainting" and let a men to go through all difficulties and drama? Our sisters from decades before us had it all worked out. But then feminism come, and started to destroy well created cover, that was being held by women through centuries.No, don't think that it was unmoral of us. Most of a men were really enjoying doing everything for us. There were happy with that. Sure, ones for a while, there was some more intelligent guy who would notice "hey, wait a minute, actually why women just sit at home and do nothing? Can’t they do the same work as we do?". But those were in minority.I believe that it's not too late yet. (Just look on some of a stupid questions that men ask here, on quora). We can still repair a damages that few decades of feminism done and come back to old good times where we were using men to do everything for us. That world was better for us all!Me- Got a master degree, worked as an architect, soon to be a single mother, traveled a world on my own (yep! I'm a big victim of feminism).

Discussing feminism: "You have the right to free speech"...?

Randomzzz has got it right, but many women here badly need a reality check e.g. this is what happens to your career if you challenge feminist dogma (see p.801 here http://www.law.fsu.edu/journals/lawreview/downloads/304/kelly.pdf
...or if you want to discuss in public what goes against feminist orthodoxy e.g. http://youtube.com/watch?v=qodygTkTUYM
Many writers get blacklisted if they challenge feminism e.g. Neil Lyndon. Admit it feminists - you won't tolerate your views being challenged and will persecute anyone who does.

Why is obnoxious feminist Julie Bindel still working for the Guarfian?

"Why is obnoxious feminist Julie Bindel still working for the Guarfian?"

Because our society, with the blessing of the mainstream media, is fully OK with man-hating and misandry in our feminized cultures. That's why.

If the tables were turned, and she was advocating the same things against women instead of men, she would be out of a job, and charged under hate crime legislation. Big time double standard here.

The fact that the *true feminists* have not risen up to have her removed from her position of power, where she is able to define feminism as the misandrist and bigoted ideology that it is, tells us all that there is to know about modern feminism. That it is tolerant of such hateful ideas.

This is not new. It has been going on for well over 40 years now. And it's the same every time. No feminists even call out the man-haters. Yet we are supposed to continue to believe that feminism is just a movement for equality even though we live in a post Equal Rights first world.

Do you pass the feminist litmus test?

Many women claim not to be feminists, and that I am false when I accuse them of being so. Well, here is a feminist litmus test:

1. Have you being discriminated against based on your gender?

2. Do you think women should lead the household?

3. Do you think gender is a social construct?

4. Do you think the current divorce laws are good, and that child support and welfare should be given to the women who can't keep their legs closed?

If you don't take this test, or if you take this test and answer yes to half of these questions, then I will continue to consider you a feminist.
