Answer 1

Well, here's the thing. As a man, you are part of a completely dominant and privileged class in every way. Don't you think that it's a little much for you to ask that the feminist movement, a movement that is all about women trying to be granted equality, soften up a little so that you are comfortable with it? Don't you? I mean, it's kind of like if I approached a Black rights organization and said, Hey, fellas, I feel kind of bad about having it pointed out that I sometimes unwittingly do racist things and that white society as a whole oppresses Black society. That makes me uncomfortable. So, lighten up, okay? I would like your movement to be more about me. 'k?

Frankly, there isn't much of a feminist movement anymore. It's run out of steam. But I think you need to question your own perceptions. When you perceive something as anti male, do you actually mean that it just is not malecentric? Think about it.

Answer 2

Feminists these days are not in search of equality...today, feminists are the ones who have been convinced that they are better than men, that all men deserve to be run down, and that they should be able to do everything men can do and more. Feminists think they have to be men instead of women, and as a result are never happy. Would an apple that was expected (even by itself) to be an orange ever be happy? As a result, feminists then turn around and run down men and blame them for all their woes...the ones that were caused by themselves and their own misguided beliefs. If women would just go back to being women, they (and men) could be happy. They'll have to learn to ignore the media, though...and the truth is that most are too weak to do that.

Answer 3

I think the perception of feminism is widely innacurate.

Feminists are generally people seeking equality of the sexes. They don't wish to ignore the male perspective, & don't have to be hairy-legged cranky women shouting at any man showing some politeness.

The third wave of feminism is currently in motion. This wave is acknowledging the importance of what was considered "womens work". This means accepting that areas such as child care and domestic work are equally valuble as being a lawyer or doctor.

Also, you can be a feminist and still wear make-up, wear revealing clothes, shave your legs etc. The key element is seeking equality, not what you look like.

It appears that there is so much anti-male sentiment because so much of our society is andro-centric & also vast inequalities. Women are still payed far less than men, our language is centered around male as the norm.

Feminists are not against males, but they are against those, male and female, who support the inequalities of our society.

Answer 4

Yes, it should focus on more tangible issues (like getting us some damn equal pay already) as opposed to more abstract philosophical issues (such as whether all orgasms are the sexualization of men dominating women).
