What are some things a man will never understand about women?
Her life during periods. The cramps, mess and blood.How ( embarrassing) it feels to always be aware of the fact that her assests are always judged whenever she passes a group of boys.How much she craves to take a midnight walk and enjoy a midnight coffee.Her fear to get pregnant before sex.How irritating it feels to think about being waxed always.How important is it for her to look presentable at every party, the pain that she takes for it and how much she wants to be complimented.That she wants him to call even after she has told him not to call ever.Pleasure of new gossips.The joy of bringing a new life into this world.How beautiful is the idea of being a women.
Do feminist men get offended when some women say men can't be feminist, but allies?
It depends on how sensitive they’re. Just kidding.It always comes on how the said “feminist guy” in specific sees the world. If a woman thinks that men can’t be feminist, then she defines the words “feminist” and “feminism” in a different way than the majority of people do. She probably does so because she sees the world as a product of class antagonism, and prioritizes social strata over individuals when understanding the world around her, and with such premises, she constructs a narrative which points that men, by definition, cannot be feminist.Most people don’t get it that words’ meanings are 100% subjective (they may get it when you ask them, but they forget it once this concept has to be used IRL for the first time), so this generates a lot of misunderstandings. Different ideological groups and even subsections of the same ideological group define words in different ways. What’s “communism” for Marx obviously isn’t the same that is “communism” for Hoppe, and arguing whether definition is correct is nothing more than a dumb waste of time.If the guy sees things in a certain way and doesn’t get it that the woman in question defines the word “feminist” in a different way than him (which probably he won’t get), there is a chance that he will either get offended and try to argue that his definition is correct as if that made any sense, or be full of “man guilty” and accept her affirmation without even understanding it just because she is a female, or, the best hypothesis of these three, just ignore it if he doesn’t care very much at all.
Feminism: A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle?
This catch phrase coined by feminist Irina Dunn, encapsulates the ideology of modern feminism. Feminists all over the world love this phrase, and even walk around wearing tee shirts with this written on them. REALLY??? "Like a FISH needs a BICYCLE?!" By that logic, feminists don't want or need husbands, fathers, brothers, sons... Lets just assume, that women can get pregnant, and have children without men. Lets also ignore the fact that men have built all the buildings, the infrastructure, technologies, and founded all the nations they live in, and that without us... civilization as they know it wouldn't exist.... Even without that fundamental reality... assuming the insane notion, that they actually think that they could have or would have done it without men is true, even though it is absurd... What does that say about what they want??? 1. They don't need/want Husbands 2. They don't need/want Fathers 3. They don't need/want Sons 4. They don't need.want Families to exist 5. They don't want/need men to exist So... basically what feminism wants... is for the entire world to be like that Amazonian island that Wonder Woman, and the other Amazons live on??? Because clearly, a fish certainly would NOT want or need a bicycle!!! A fish can't even USE a bicycle for any meaningful purpose! Nothing could be as worthless to a fish, than a bicycle, so that how feminism really views the relationship between men and women?! Who thinks they should be a feminist?
Feminists, make up your mind?
There are two things feminists really need to make up their minds about: 1. Is the dictionary actually correct? When trying to prove feminism is about equality, you say the dictionary is always correct. Yet you make up your own definition of racism and sexism, rape, harassment, gender, etc. 2. Are men actually the stronger sex? Usually, when someone says men are stronger, you say that's sexist and untrue. But when you say men should never hit women even in self defence, yet women should hit men under some circumstances, you say men are stronger.
Why do many feminists say a man is entitled when he says he can't get laid but not when a woman says it?
I think this double standard exists irrespective of feminism; it’s based on traditional standards of what a man should be. Many men feel entitled to sex because many women still feel entitled to be approached and have the man initiate conversation with them while blasting men who are deemed as passive. As long as passivity is ridiculed in men, and assertiveness is ridiculed in women this mantra will not change. Even Jessica Valenti hinted that she was somewhat depressed that she does not get cat-called anymore despite her negative feelings about it. Nevertheless this still supports my point that entitlement really does work both ways.However, I’ve been at the other end of this being a guy. Perhaps it was naive of me to think that after a date or initial encounter that when I brought a woman to my place, or if I was invited to her place, that she would not expect to have sex with me that same night. It was not my intention to lead them on but that was way too fast for me. The women were nice about this at first, “hey, I understand”, but then seemed to completely turn on me the next day and even badmouthed me to my own friends.Many will claim that sexual compatibility is important, but many times these same people tend to disrespect the needs of others too whether they’re men and women. “Sex is a vital human need”, while there’s truth to this, more times than not this is a code for insulting people in a subtle but yet frighteningly effective manner even if it’s inadvertent. It’s amazing how the human needs mantra (it’s too much a part of being human) can be used to effectively dehumanize people.It’s worse for a guy in some ways because you’re always expected to want it, but I’m no religious purist and it simply takes me a great deal to want to have sex with someone. I can’t change this even if I wish I could - you don’t just turn it on and this does not always mean you’re sexually impotent because the mind itself is the most powerful aphrodisiac in existence. My drive is very strong when I actually feel it beyond belief. Nevertheless men still appear to be far more aggressive with sexual entitlement from what I’ve seen and are the ones who give me the most difficult time over my lifestyle, but not by an overwhelming majority. I limit the company I keep over this issue alone. Despite being an MRA I’m a huge enemy of this red pill nonsense.
Are all misandrists, feminist?
All the misandrists I've ever met were feminists, including a few male feminists. I'm sure there are some exceptions but overall feminism and misandry go hand in hand.
Isnt’t it belittling of women for feminists to say women need special advantages to succeed?
"Isnt’t it belittling of women for feminists to say women need special advantages to succeed?" Absolutely. Pretty much all women of working age today have never lived under anything other than full equality to men. And pretty much no men of working age have ever had any legal advantage or privilege over women. So why do feminist insist that fully equal women, who were born into full equality and raised equally with men side by side all throughout school ... still need advantages today? ...?? Feminists clearly disrespect women and their abilities to be able to compete with men, without getting some type of advantage like AA in perpetuity. The biggest problem is that even properly successful women will be tarred with the same lack of full respect because no one can ever be sure if she is in her position due to merit, or because of job quotas or other feminist advantages that discriminated against men's equal opportunity to compete for the position. .
Are some women afraid to admit to being a feminist?
My response to being asked if I am a feminist is much the same as my response to being asked if I’m religious.What’s your definition of the word?If by ‘feminist’ you mean someone who believes in gender equality with no exceptions, then yes, I’m a feminist. If by ‘religious’ you are referring to my love of Jesus and desire to love others, then yes, I’m religious.Often, though, there are associations that make me really sad. I hate the way that believing men and women are equals has become associated with contempt toward all men, or burning bras and other ‘symbols of male oppression’. I hate the way that loving people can be categorised along with yelling at people in the street that they are going to hell, condemning gay people and rejecting science. It’s stereotyping, but I often think that the saddest thing about stereotyping is always that it came from somewhere - some feminists are feminazis; some religious people are bible-bashing hypocrites.In answer to your question, yes, as a woman I am frequently reluctant to admit to being a feminist. It’s not that I don’t want people to know what I believe in, in fact the complete opposite is true. But I’m free to choose whatever words I want to express it. Word are just words, and I care less about selecting the correct labels than people understanding my meaning. I would never deny believing in equality, or loving Jesus. But if the person asking me has a definition of the word that isn’t what I stand for, then I will say, “In that case, no, I’m not a feminist.” “No, I’m not religious, then.”
