Feminists are good, fair and honest women.?

Question

Feminists are good women. In the past I have ranted online about feminist women taking too much of the legal pie. However I was wrong. I meant to say Uber feminists who hate men are not fair.

Now I believe most feminists are fair, hard working, patient and kind humans. Sorry for my mistake. What do you think? Have Feminazis given feminists a bad rap?

Thank you ladies for your kind and forgiving answers. It's so easy for a divorced man with children, who has been disenchanted with the Family Court system to blame feminists.

Hey forgot to thank the guys. If we each can give in a little, perhaps we all can be more civil to each other.

Women and men working together to protect our children is more powerful than us fighting each other.

Answer 1

It is true that man-hating feminists are some of the loudest and give all feminists a bad rap. Just look at all the close-minded people in this section that are bad-mouthing feminists, assuming that we're all terrible people. They assume that we all want to ban marriage, take advantage of the biassed court system and military draft, and give up having children. I'm glad that you understand that this is not the case.

The fact is that almost any woman who knows that women should be equal to men in society is a feminist. She's just afraid of the word because of the negative connotations the media puts on it. The excuse that "women are complementary to men" is ignorant and hollow. Of course women and men are different! Any idiot can see that. However, that doesn't change the fact that they are equal. I hope you will help other men and women to understand that the face the media puts on feminism is not the way feminism really is.

Try to refrain from using terms like "Uber feminist" and "Feminazi." Those are generalizations and are offensive, though I know you don't mean to offend.

Answer 2

Sorry, you are wrong.
Feminism is only for the advancement of women. It has abzero to do with 'equality' or fairness.
Feminists, by definition, want advantages for women only. This can only come about by lowering standards to enable them to compete with men or rewrite laws that are feminocentric to benefit women only.
This can be verified by the fact that domestic abuse is virtually equal in which sex instigates abuse but feminism demand unequal protection for women and extra punishment for men via laws such as the Violence Against Women Acts, 1 and 2.
Firefighter's standards had to be lowered to accomodate the less-able women who wanted to join.
Women have the right to become or not become a parent; a right that is denied in all situations to men.
Women have affirmative action that demands women be hired even if they are not qualified while men must qualify and hope there is an opening.
The government demands men register for selective service but does not for women.
Men are put on the front lines of wars, so-called 'police actions' or other military combat situations; women are forbidden from being assigned so.
Women's standards for the military are less stringent than that for men yet women receive the same pay and accolades even though their sacrifice is much less.
Men's deaths and injuries far outweigh women's in the workplace.
As a rule, women outlive men. yet, research into female specific diseases far outweigh research into men's, including contraceptive methods.
One out of three women will experience heart attacks and this is highly publicized yet many more men die from heart attack and it is virtually ignored.
Feminists see no difference between the guy hauling trash and the secretary in an air-conditioned office shuffling papers other than they want the same pay but for less work and dedication.
As a rule, feminists approve of all this and more. Women who are not feminist, on the other hand, want equal treatment.
Feminists demand equal outcome, not equal opportunity.
Feminists are not good, honest or fair by definition. The only difference between feminist and feminazi is the amount of hatred for men, which they both have and instill in others at every opportunity.

Answer 3

Although I agree with you for the most part, I think that certain negative aspects of feminism have influenced most women. I would characterize these negative aspects as the attitude that women are at least a little less selfish, more responsible, and more kind than men in general. Men's common bad behavior is publicly lambasted and joked about, but women's common bad behavior is only supposed to be discussed amongst women themselves, in private. This leads, far too often, to an unfair playing field in relationships.

Answer 4

Well, I can honestly say that I'm glad you had a rough time in family court. That means its doing its job to screen for domestic violence situations. The reason you find the system so difficult to maneuver is that our culture supports violence against women and the court systems (slowly for sure) are catching on to the problem. As far as feminism goes....Well you would call me a feminist, but I am an equalist. I don't to get a job over you because I am a woman, I want to get a job over you because I'm more qualified. I don't want to get paid more than you do because I do the same work. I just want to be paid equal what you are for the same work. I don't want all men to rot in hell. I want all men to band together and get themselves in check and decide that violence against women is wrong and that they're not going to tolerate it.

Answer 5

I agree. And because of them, gentle feminists like me get criticism from both sides--those who hate feminism and spout that feminists are all the same, and those Feminazis who think someone like me is stupid and weak. But I like girls and guys. I have equal number of friends on both sides (actually, I have slightly more guy friends). I also have a small sense of pride in being able to do something on my own. Some men can relate to that. I also like being feminine and masculine. I'm a girly tomboy! I also like having freedom from the binds of matrimony and motherhood (a topic which scares me). I also like to cook.

The one thing I like most about feminism is that it protects disabled women like me. The one thing I don't like about feminism is the one thing that I don't like about most topics--people change the meaning to suit them. But to me, there is only one truth. All else is lies.

Answer 6

har har check out blabber yaga's reply.

"Calling 'women' feminazis is dehumanising them - therefore you're like a nazi!!"

Dude, most of the people on here that replied agreeing, are people that have purveyed extreme feminist man-bashing beliefs at other times on here. They ALL say they are about fluffy kittens and marshmallows and they ALL point the finger at "factions" for [ insert what your problem is here ].

FEMinist - examine that word for a moment.

If you haven't learned your lesson after your first divorce, how many divorces will it take before you have?

Answer 7

It really is too bad that you have had the misfortune of dealing with certain events. There are some bad people out there who do give others a bad rep. However, the good ones are out there. It just takes awhile to see them. Your realization is all for the better and though I am not at that point, I'm glad you got there. Good luck in life.

Answer 8

You are still slagging women by calling them 'feminazi'". What this does is to de-humanise the women with whom you don't agree. This psychological 'assault' strategy was successfully employed by Nazi Germany - and paved the way for a holocaust to occur. You say "It's so easy for a divorced man with children, who has been disenchanted with the Family Court system to blame feminists." and I agree that it must be tempting (and mindless) to search for a scapegoat as 'Happy Bullet' does tirelessly around the clock, and then to brush entire swaths of humanity with the same brush. You are having troubles with the family courts system? Move to Europe then. The courts wouldn't even ENTERTAIN your 'claims": in the event of divorce women always get full custody - no exceptions. The courts overseas have no patience for the crap that goes on in the American courts. Convicted criminals are left to wander the streets and re-offend in the US because the court system is backed up to the gills with civil cases; people sueing one another in an effort to exact revenge. The way I see it your glass is half full, rather than half empty. Be grateful for what you DO have instead of cranking. Cranking is easy: Happy Bullet has made a career of it. NO CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS REQUIRED.

Answer 9

I believe all your endevors need to be done with for thought and moderation applied because if you act on emotion at the time of duress or stress you are sure to over react and be sorry later.

Answer 10

Thankyou. That's great to hear. I'm glad someone understands feminism is an umbrella term used to refer to the untarnished minority of feminism. When a feminist does something wrong she is a member of an extreme feminist faction and therefore not a part of the overall superset of feminism, which remains unblemished forever, therefore only extreme feminists are to blame for it.

However, blaming extreme feminist factions is unacceptable because it constitutes a blemish on the superset of 'feminism', and you are therefore sexist and should be reproached by feminists of all persuasions.

It's so hard to understand why people think this is some sort of cheap tactic to avoid responsibility, particularly when it is used by proven extreme feminists, like myself.
