100% true.
Men are VERY actively discriminated against at the hands of feminists.
Women are actively treated like delicate little flowers that need "big sister feminism" to save them.
It's a divisive, anti-male, hate-filled movement.
Women that choose to stay home with their kids aren't "good enough" for feminists & the guilt & shaming machine will begin to work it's magic.
Feminism in 2007 has veered 180˚ from the original course.
The fight for "equal opportunity" somewhere became the quest for "equal outcome."
Unfair & sexist laws were devised to achieve this.
This shackles both sexes & only makes matters worse.

There are women who take the feminism thing too far and they end up ruining other people's lives. I have been a victim of feminist slander because I am a guy. The problem with feminism is that it is almost always an extremely volatile topic and quickly degrades into just man hating for one reason or another.
I am neither sexist nor racist and I judge people depending on their individual ability, and I look down on those who do not try to better themselves and degrade into a stereotype. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people like that here in Southern California.

It sounds like an obstinate insistence from the male supremacists. It's certain that the feminism freed women to be more significant and influential in society and gender relations. Therefore, it's understandable that men could have been relatively oppressed by the fact that the feminism has granted women more control and dominance than before. However, if one argues that it oppresses both genders, to me it sounds merely like a stubborn complaint with insufficient reasoning behind the presumption, made by particular group of people that believe feminism has damaged their dominance that they used to occupy before the feminism movement.

In a way yes. Becuase women are told 'Yes you CAN have a career' etc I have found that someone like me who is a housewife and doesn't want a career is lokjed down upon by other women.
I don't think feminism opresses men, I think there should be a male liberation though.

Before anyone can be oppressed they have to feel a grain of oppression within themselves; otherwise even the efforts of feminism/whateverism will not/cannot work. How have I come to this conclusion? Take a person; who for instance; who does not believe in/follow the femimist rule of thumb; meaning this person does not believe in equality; it can be male or female; gender doesn't matter. Let's go further and say that this person follows a different set of rules; normally it would be said/suggested such a person is oppressed. Yet, there is a catch. The catch is this. In order for that person to be oppressed; they have to have a grain of oppression in them in the first place; otherwise even the tiniest effort to oppress them will be/are futile.

wheras I agree that there are women who misunderstand the concept of feminism and fight for the wrong things the majority of feminists just want that women be given the freedom and dignity of CHOICE and that cannot be opressive to any human being either a man or a woman.

My first thought is "utter bulls**t.
You might as well say that racial equality is the new oppressor for all colours. Or that gay rights are the new oppressor of heterosexuals.
Whoever came up with that quote has the brain capacity of a cauliflower.

I think that people on the right have pretty successfully turned feminism into a dirty word.
Feminism, at its core, simply represents the belief that people are equal, and that neither gender is better than the other.
How could that be oppressive?
What IS oppressive is when people, of whatever belief system, try to impose their belief on others, without regard for others' right to disagree or believe something entirely different. It's not the '-ism' as much as it is the people who promote a narrow interpretation (and this goes for politics, religion, you name it).
