Should masculists support women’s rights?

Question

If feminism was all about equality then we would not have ended up with laws that favour women over men e.g. in divorce. Some women say: ‘If you think you don’t have equality then start a men’s movement’. Fine. So should men make the same mistakes that the feminism made i.e. go for selfish gains, promoting men and putting down women? Or should we go for equality, promoting the needs of both men and women?

My worst nightmare is a men’s movement that apes the radical feminists, with slogans like ‘All women make false rape accusations’ etc. Far better that, for example, men should campaign for fair treatment of men accused of rape in tandem with campaigning for improved methods of finding and convicting actual rapists. In short, should masculists support women’s rights?

"I think you need to chill out". A personal attack will not answer the question.

Spuddy - point taken.

"I am sure a white man's movement for equality will get you plenty of praise and accolades". Great! I take it I get your vote when I run as the White Icons' League Against Women candidate?

Answer 1

If you focus on mens rights alone, then you become like the feminists.

If you focus on fairness and equality then people will help. Feminism is losing support because people are beginning to see that they are NOT advocating fairness. If you could start a movement that was indeed fair, men and women would follow and something more might actually get accomplished, rather than the mudslinging we are dealing with now.

Guns -guys have been screwed in some ways, if the feminists had sought true equality rather than supremity you and other men would not be in the world you are today. Someone must take the high road and do what is right for all. (But I do agree that until the feminists are completely obsolete and equalists rule, there is a need for mens advocacy groups to counterbalance)

Answer 2

People don't realize how tricky this question is.
People see the parallels of the ideologies, but don't realize the polarization of the Political Movement. Most of the political arena is for women, which sometimes and sometimes don't negatively affect men. Well, considering that some of the political actions pushed by feminists are solely for women, at the expense of men, I'm not sure why a MRA(Men's Rights Activist) would want to contribute to that.
But also, I do agree with progress, instead of equality through regress. I don't think that MRA's should take away women's rights, to make things equal... but to progress. This truly applies to reproductive rights, as being the best example.

Apart from the political movement... on the social level, I think it would be great if they work together. Working together to get donations for Breast Cancer and Prostate Cancer alike, would be a good example.

And, of course, the MRA's would have to avoid the misandrous.

Answer 3

He believes they have the right to close up and not argue with him. McCain said Cindy's alma mater, the college of Southern California, because the college of Spoiled little ones. McCain in basic terms adores Sarah Palin, keeps calling her a woman and a gal. Did you spot McCain on television, on that clip the position Sarah gave her first little communicate? He changed into very a lot observing her cabin motor vehicle. In public. How does Cindy positioned up with it? He in basic terms seems to tug her round and order her to grin, like the former time trophy spouse. i trust so sorry for her. he's no longer much better than an previous pig. once Cindy playfully twirled McCain's hair and reported, "you have become a touch skinny up there." McCain's face reddened, and he replied, "a minimum of i do not plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you c@nt." McCain's excuse changed into that it were a lengthy day. If elected president of america, McCain might want to have many lengthy days.

Answer 4

Support, slightly, advocate, no.

The same as feminism is, from my perspective, a woman's advocacy group not intended for both gender arguments, but only given the generalized definitions of "equality for both genders" in an attempt to be politically correct, masculism should be a men's advocacy group.

Your target group of men should always have first priority, same as feminism has for women.

Answer 5

I don't think you're looking at the whole picture. If you have a daughter, do you want her treated equally and as fairly as if you had a son? I have a daughter and I pray she doesn't have to deal with the ignorant things that some men (AND WOMEN) have put me through. Until we live in a world without gender and color lines, we're not gonna get anything resolved. People should support PEOPLE...everyone should be treated equally because that is a basic human right.

Answer 6

The laws dont favor women that much

Society however does favor women over men.

1. Children
2. women (epesically younger)
3. men

You go to the bar the women cut in line, probably 1000 examples.

Masuclist should not support women's rights because there are feminst to do that.

And "women not being successful as men" is not a law. Men work harder, not to say women dont work hard but, for example, 24% of men work hard compared to 13% of women.

Answer 7

Absolutely. I view us and feminists not as enemies but as two different sides of the same coin. There are ways I think it could be improved, but I'm not really "against" feminism or women's rights advocacy. We should support each other, even though we might not concentrate on the same issues.

When we support each other, we end up supporting everybody.

Answer 8

men and women are different from each other physically as everyone can see about that don't hit girls **** still goes on today and women say they are equal with that don't hit girls saying everyone follows obviously not equal and men get restraining order because they are physically stronger and men go into the army more because they are stronger they do the hard stuff obviously and women still keep complaining about equal rights. women are better at different things and men are better at different things but they are not equal because then their why is their a discriminiation for insurance and tax on men because they are men why they need to pay more.

Answer 9

Of course we should! women are not the enemy here, they are part of society and some of them even contribute to bring feminism down.
We must make people see that equality, while underachieved in fields like cultural recognition, promoted by society, is waay in favour of women in other aspects like education and child custody, and the justice system, promoted by the state.
even more: I bet the movement that will end feminism, will be started by women.

Answer 10

Masculists and feminists should support each other's causes, as long as those causes are demonstrably in need of support; that is the essence of equality.
