Because most so-called "feminists" go past equality and attempt to get social and cultural reparations for their oppression.

As for the OP, as everyone else has said, feminism gets a bad rap because of the vocal minority who stand out for their radical beliefs. As I recall, on a popular imageboard it is not hard to find several images of real people posting things such as refusing to breast feed baby boys because of "gender equality", being able to hit a man but not allowing a man to defend himself, and finally, taking a man's money in a divorce because of men's "disgusting nature". It wouldn't be so bad if those weren't absolutely real posts and that there are people out there like that who do in fact call themselves feminists.
Do you not realise that those posts are obvious trolls? Really?
The stories and information posted here are artistic works of fiction and falsehood.
Only a fool would take anything posted here as fact.

As I replied above, you can claim those photos were made by trolls, and they certainly might have been, but I've encountered many of those similar thoughts in women throughout my life. I am by no means a misogynist, but I have seen those stereotypes out there in the real world.

I mean, feminists are just people who want equal rights for women and men alike.


>Feminists
>Equal Rights

They exist I tell you! I have no proof but they exist!

You know, you'd do your cause so much better if you get shaky image of a person in a Hilary Clinton suit beating up a man in a forest

You can't talk about the demographics and goals of most or all or a minority or any other percentage of the feminist population without using anecdotal evidence. Your post is unneeded. Nice try, smartass.

Do tell me how I might go about recording my memories and placing them in a digital format for everyone to see?

Oh right, I can't. See, you can't run about screaming for evidence when I clearly stated that my beliefs stem from personal encounters. I am not trying to convince anyone why I am right (Entirely subjective), but rather I was stating the clear basis for my beliefs. I was answering the OP's question. So instead of pandering about like an attention craved child begging for "citations" when it is clear that this subject cannot be recorded or reproduced easily, try and make a decent argument for yourself. If you think everyone else is wrong and you are somehow right, please do me a favor and tell us why, and while you are at it, post some evidence for your position, because apparently that's all you care about.

They exist because they say that I do, sounds like it's straw-feminist time!

Not going to tell you how to do that, the patent is still pending.
However I do find it interesting that this 'prevailing belief' that you've heard everywhere from so many feminists can't be reproducible in any way, and that no similar thoughts can be found anywhere on the internet can back up your claims.
It's really lucky, isn't it? That your straw-man argument can be used without any verification?

My english teacher (though not as radical as some feminists) has us read every book through a "feminist lens" which basically means go through and find all the reasons men are useless pieces of -blam!- in literature.

There is a certain point of tolerance that should never be reached.

We're all just hanging out on the Flood now?

OT: Have you ever seen the movie The Boondock Saints?

Remember the beginning of the movie, when the lady kicks Conner in the nuts?

Everybody thinks that's what feminist are. In reality, a large majority of them are very rational people simply asking to be treated fairly.

I'm going to write on my Tumblr blog (with my Mac of course) about all these white privileged scumbags being so privileged and bigoted. Men suck. Also, LGBT rights are a bigger issue than war, renewable energy, the economy, and these school shootings. Maybe one day I'll be a Gawker journalist where I can tell people to check their privilege on a massive scale. Die cis scum, I'm autistic btw

Raptor, why are you so goddamned stupid?
Trolling is fun and all, but you've got to have some sort of inferior complex to be this angry.

Because Feminism is different to Equalism.

If you're a Feminist, you believe Women should be raised above men. And that just makes you look like a delirious, pretentious, douche.

No, obviously not. You can infer this from my use of the word "basically". If you're going to be fickle and asinine I'm not going to discuss this with you.

Check your privilege cis scum. How dare you offend me like that? I mean, if I'm offended like that any proper, politically correct conformist society would ban that phrase, right? I need to go write a Gawker article on this and blog about my progressive ideals lest I be cast out of the internet elite progressive hip club master race!

No worries, champ. As soon as you learn that your inane statements can be backed up with facts, then learn that said facts don't exist, we can continue this discussion. Good day to you
