Examples of femnists destroying the U.S.?

Question

Please provide me with news stories that demonstrate a clear link to feminism. Show me where feminists have advocated for laws or some iniquitous situation that negatively impacted males in the U.S. besides the fallacious spin on custody judgments, because that horse has been beaten to death. Besides AA, because that discussion pertains to a difference in political ideology that is outside the scope of feminism. I want to see something new.

Examples would be discrimination against males nurses in the U.K. -- show me where something similar has occurred in the U.S.

The trend seems to be for people to post stories relating to situations overseas, then to complain about feminists in the U.S. There is no logic to that approach, so I'd like to know whether we have policies here which are directly discriminatory against men, and whether *feminist organizations* not politicians, have had any part in their design.

The problem with that, Empenada, is that Roe was decided by an all male panel of judges who ruled that a ban on abortion was unconstitutional. Are you claiming to understand th Constitution better or are you saying that we should dismiss the Constitution? Roe was further supported by a neo-con appointed male justice. John Roberts stated that Roe was "settled law"...if that doesn't tell you that men are equally behind Roe, then I don't know how to drive that point across to you.

Baz, please provide a link to your statistics and connect that (with a link) to feminists.

If you're not referring to a specific policy change that happened as a result of feminism (such as Roe, as I assumed), then you're not responding to my question with what I asked for. I asked for policies/laws/incidences that occurred in the U.S. which were *directly discriminatory against MEN*...Men -- both feminist supporters and those who do not support feminism -- are behind a woman's right to choose.

Again, I ask that answers not confuse feminism with a difference in political ideology. Most feminists are liberals, but not all liberals are feminists --and almost all liberals support a woman's right to choose. I don't want a liberals vs. conservatives discussion. I'd really like proof that any justice on burger's court was a feminist, but I don't wish to digress any further.

I have to logoff for a bit, but I'll respond if you keep your answer related to feminism.

Why would I edit the question because you failed to understand? If no policy change occurred as a result of feminism then simply advocating for changes doesn't create discrimination against men. Please be rational.

Pimp (gawd I hate that name): Promise to answer you when I have a chance. I didn't realize you reasked the question. I'm quite busy, but I will answer.

Priscilla: Good call, thanks.

Answer 1

Empanada, I would like to point out that abortion existed long before the feminist movement. Also, the New York Times did a story a few weeks ago on findings from the UN that stated regardless if abortion is legal or not in a country has no impact on the actual numbers of abortions its citizens have.

Answer 2

People will tell you that feminism is responsible for high divorce rates. Actually, rates climbed a considerable amount of time before feminism came along, and except for an explosion after no-fault divorce was legalized, they have been steadily dropping.

People will also tell you that feminism is responsible for women's unhappiness. Actually, the happiest women are the ones who feel the most equal and successful; infringing upon this is what causes resentment.

Answer 3

"The feminist movement is responsible for the abortion of 25 million American men over the past 40 years. By that measure, they have been more effective in their goals than Hitler."

Empanada, abortion is not gender-specific. As many female fetuses are aborted as men. Abortion is not a tool used by feminists to eradicate the male population.

Answer 4

feminism caused global warming, don't ya know?

here is the proof;
feminism started in the 60's (well not really but i will ignore that fact to suit my agenda)

and the earth has warmed since the 60's

therefor, feminism causes global warming (sure thats a logical fallacy; post hoc ergo propter hoc, but i hate feminists, so i don't care if my argument is logical)

/sarcasm

thats the general pattern that these type of arguments follow. anti-feminists always argue that feminism is bad because it happened at the same time as something that is actually bad. it is sad that they don't see how rediculous that line of thought is.

Answer 5

One example.
" Would not physics benefit from asking why a scientific world view with physics as its paradigm excludes the history of physics from its recommendation that we seek causal explanations of ever thing in the world around us? Only if we insist that science is analytically separate from social life can we maintain the fiction that explanations of irrational social belief and behavior could not ever, even in principle, increase our understanding of the world physics explains. "

Sandra Harding, " The Science Question in Feminism "

This bit of tripe that would have you think that the physical world is " socially constructed " and that the ellipses the planets follow could not be " analytically separate from social life. "

This gender or difference feminist nonsense is example of an attack on science and rationality in the US. Many young girls are taught this post-modern garbage, thus weakening science education and education in general.
This is my beef with any feminist who steps outside her purview of equality and attempts to say somerhing about the natural world.

Answer 6

I waste way too much time on this forum. That must be the fault of feminism somehow.

Answer 7

this may be a varied but simple opinion. i am lez but men have been getting away with putting women to the floor in domestic, and the workplace. even in the stalking, rape and sexual double standards. i am fking sick of it.!!!when men get a taste of their own medicine. fair is fair and if they don't like it- TOUGH. a man gets angry? im suppose to take lower pay and deal with sexual harrassment, and you stalking me, no doesn't mean no and i get beat up cause you want to get drunk, get me pregnant, not work or pay child support, and you call me a hoe? no. women do fine by themselves......we don't have a problem with men at all just their behavior and actions. so we will not let men get away with things so if we as women stand on our own and demand our own and respect..too bad. then move over and get out of OUR KITCHEN!!! GO GET YOUR OWN- NOT DIRECTED TO QUESTIONER.

Answer 8

Good luck on getting any good answers from these people. They're probably busy searching Rush Limbaugh's site for some faux-facts.

Answer 9

Look up VAWA and then go check out the facts over at mediaradar.org

This act did nothing. The numbers are the same and its showed that women cause just as much violence and more to the youth then men.

This law is a free pass to kick a man out of his home. Thats it pure and simple.

Answer 10

- American men's tax dollars help fund V.A.W.A., which is a woman-only act.
- Feminism is bad for your health [1]. (This hurts both men and women.)

EDIT:
Thank you! I would hug you but I'm (really) scared you might hurt me (permanently).

EDIT: Be fair to Sarah, dear deer. (Deer!?) She's not attacking--or seems angry at--men in this post or anyone for that matter. I'm sure she's human too.
