would men trust femmenist more if the femmensit self policed themselves ?
That is to say there are good aspects to femmenism equal pay or the struggle to achieve , voting rights jobs etc .Thats the good stuff.
I think a lot of men would respect the various aspects of femmneism and womens movement if the women in these womens told misandrist women who hate men to shut up.

I actualy see men self police other men .that is if a man is a mysogynist and does something to hurt women normal men will exert social pressures against the offending male and come to the aide of the women in question
However if a women does something to a guy based on misandry men do not have the same luxury of a women stopping and saying to the misandrist women to stop her actions .Its time for women to exert social pressure on malicious misandrist.
Until we see you activley taking care of the worst parts of femmist element we will regard femmensim with skeptisicism and caution.
We need caring femmmist to stand up agaisnt the misandrist .We want you to social pressures on those that say all men are evil and that would hurt men for no valid reason .

Well, you can't control what other people do or say, but I do try to engage them in conversations, and make them see the error of their ways. However, the result is usually the same as trying to talk "sense" into the misogynists... more anger and hostility. Women that hate men, and men that hate women are NOT NORMAL, they have anger issues, and really need counseling to deal with it. Telling them to "shut up" only makes them more
angry. Believe me, misandrist feminists are a very small minority of the movement, and you don't have to be a feminist to hate men. I'm not sure how the feminist movement got such a bad reputation...I think it's a combination of only the worst and most extreme of the group getting all the attention (because the rest of us are not that "newsworthy") and the result of a backlash against the movement. Demonizing all of us for the actions/ideas of a few. BTW, it's interesting to note that there is a lot more misogyny going on in the "women's studies" forum than there is misandry. I hardly ever see questions degrading, objectifying, or demonizing men on this forum, but I see A LOT of questions doing the same to women. Why is that? Is it because men are feeling marginalized, degraded and made to be "less than human" by women, or is it because they don't like the idea of women having equal rights at all? From the tone of the questions, the latter seems to be true. Maybe if guys like YOU would talk to THEM, and tell THEM to shut up, misandrists would have less fuel for their hatred.
EDIT--
Hmm...well, let me explain something about Feminism. This is an umbrella term, under which many different "branches" of feminism exist. And there isn't a lot of "mixing" going on among them. It's a lot like the disparate branches of a religion. Each thinks that the other group is (more or less) wrong ideologically. There is a great deal of debate among them, and MOST Feminists argue that misandry is no way to forward our cause, that it is morally wrong, and that it will lead to the destruction of the movement all together. You must realize that you are generalizing, and putting a whole group of people (who are generally fair minded egalitarians that think that the Feminist Movement has a lot to offer for the betterment of men, as well) into the same box because of a few women, who may not ACTUALLY be part of the movement at all. (The most destructive women I know are manipulative, leeching, and abusive users, and HATE feminists because we would tell them that they are a disgrace, and we look down on their behavior...even though they may use "feminist rhetoric" to excuse their behavior, they are completely ignorant as to what the movement is really about). And I appreciate your endeavors to curb the misogyny you see going on, but I don't see misogynists changing their behavior because of "societal pressures." Again, I think both misandrists and misogynists are mentally ill (more or less), and usually will not conform to social pressures because they are incapable of doing so. However, fair minded people have an obligation to work toward keeping things "fair" to the best of our abilities.

See, the basis of this question is all off. By self-policing, I'm assuming that you mean - stayed away from topics that were likely to insult unintelligent men ... Stuff like gender roles in marraige and the use of misogynist terms as rallying cries in the military.... Feminists are trying to get away from the sort of male-centric climate that would ask them to shy away from such topics... And, btw, it's ironic that you hypocritically deem some feminists "misandrist" and generalize that all men ignorantly mistrust feminists(another generalization, there are many schools of feminist belief) in the same breath. Many men are feminists(if you need someone to identify with).

Feminists, like so many other groups, harm themselves with their diatribes. The basis of feminism is the same as the black's movements, equal rights. And like the blacks they go off on these wild tangents that harm rather than help their cause.
All of us, every person should be working towards the goal of equal rights. Any of us should have to opportunity to achieve and be rewarded for our achievements fairly without regard for any other issue. It isn't about color or religion or gender, its about us all being members of the human race and having the reasonable expectation of equal rights. So long as any of these groups spend most of their time and effort trying to prove how bad every other group is this will never be accomplished.

I dont understand approximately cheating with different coppers yet i understand alot of cops in relationships with one yet another, uncomplicated motives is they spend time with one yet another, they paintings shift types so as that they are in a position to spend extra time mutually exceedingly in the event that they have the comparable days off, its very annoying while your parnter works a 9-5 mon-fri with sat, solar off once you paintings shifts with each atypical weekend off to confirm them. Relationships fail by way of fact of loss of seeing one yet another. in case you're dating yet another officer it particularly is often lots extra handy to rearrange your shifts to spend time mutually. As for cheating etc, nicely i settle for that alot of male cops do get there trustworthy share of females throwing themselves at them, occasion from a drugs operation the different evening grow to be while my collague grow to be approached by employing a youthful lass saying "can i take the police guy domicile and function intercourse with him!?!" concept the cheating section is a attempt of the guy no longer the uniform. however this comparable question would desire to be asked approximately medical doctors and Nurses, the Airforce etc etc etc.
