Let me start off by saying that I’m not white, so I’m unbiased. This is just an observation and opinion of mine.

I notice a lot of times the men most opposed to feminism seem to be white men, I was wondering if this opposition to feminism is secretly or subconsciously anger towards white women? Because White women are usually the ones most associated with feminism more often then not.

As a women I can see white males point of view. Like it or not a women’s standard of living depends on how their men provide for them, and white males have probably provided better for their women then any other race. Generally women living in Europe, America, Canada, and Australia have lived a much more luxurious lifestyle then women of other races or parts of the world. White males have invented Cars, Computers, the internet, television, Planes, and probably the most advanced countries ever yet their women still constantly complain about it being “a white mans world” and openly talk about wanting to take as much power from them as they can. It gives off the appearance of ungratefulness when even African and Mexican women for example who have a much less comfortable lifestyle are happy with their men, care for them, and less likely to bash them. I think this is the reason white men like Asian and Latin women so much, they are hard working, respectful, caring, intelligent, good mothers, and very feminine. White women are no longer seen as traditional and having a reputation of being promiscuous, materialistic, arrogant, disrespectful, and shallow.

I can also see a white women’s point of view. White women still don’t make the same amount of money as a man does for the same work, white males still hold the majority of the power and white women want to be completely self reliant. I don’t think white women hate white men but have a desire to be completely independent so when they get together with a man it because of mutual attraction and not because they feel indebted to white men. I also think white women believe that they are leading the movement of helping all women become self reliant, almost like they think they are the only ones who can do it.

So I’m I right or wrong?

You are biased.

My husband is Mexican....from Mexico. They are stereotypically VERY dominate. I am white (American), and very much a feminist.

Generalizing perpetuates stereotypes.

Wow, what an observation! I'm not a white male, so I can't answer your question. But I will weigh in as a white female. From my experiences, 99% of the couples that I know (all white) have both the man and the woman working full-time jobs. So the men are not "providing for" the women on their own, its a mutual effort.

I know I'll get alot of thumbs down for this, but if anything, it seems to me like most (not all) married with kids white women got screwed as a result of the feminist movement, because we are expected to be wonder women that do it all- work, take care of the family, take care of the home, and stay attractive. It's exhausting. Lots of women that I know would LOVE to be stay at home wives and mothers, but they simply can't afford it. And I don't mean they can't afford luxouries, I mean they can't afford the essentials like mortgage, car insurance, health insurance, food, clothes, etc.

As far as white women having "a more comfortable lifestyle", the coutnries that you stated are richer and the class structures are not as rigid (ie. there is a larger middle class in America as opposed to Africa), so these items that are considered "luxuries" in some countries are the norm for others. I think that is more of a geographical situation than a male vs. female one.

Ask Mr. White or Mr. Wong I think

anyway

yeah good point

men and women really do hate each other if they are actually honest about it I think

money often does but doesn't have to prevent happiness, the trick I think is to just invest it in something ethical and live as though you don't have it. Then have sex, eat, live, wander, whatever.

yet the need each other for balance mostly too, at least the breeders do

its amazing to me men and women mostly sleep together instead of killing each other actually, its like a cruel hoax, design folks soooooooooooooo different, then make em want each other.

I think the rich poor divide is relevant here too.

Mostly poor are just happy for whatever, water, sunshine, food , sex

Mostly rich people just fuss, cuz they just have all those things, still are not happy, so they blame themselves, at least the honest thoughtful ones in therapy do that. Because no excuse for not being happy.

I really don't think you can make a generalization like that. It's like asking if Black men are angry at Black women or Latino men are angry at Latina women.
