Why do feminists claim to not hate men ? I mean they aren't exactly subtile in their man hatetred?

Question

and hate for men, wouldn't it benefit the movement if they would just admit to hating men, at least they could get a minimum of respect that way.

And what makes you think anti feminists hate women ? Do anti feminists go on about how great it would be to cut up and dissembowl women ? Or do we teach men in mens studies classes how great it is to pour boiling oil on your sleeping wife ?

Optimus I get your point, but it isnd just advancing your own selfish agenda with complete disregard to men, it is full blown in your face hatetred. Cut up men, pour boiling oil on your sleeping husband. A womens studies professor actually told that in class and the hall cheered her for it.

Rebel F if you say it isnt true, you are in denial, plain and simple. Well how did it beneift germanies reputation by adknoledging its violent and brutal recent history ?

REBEL F its like saying what basis is there for assuming a nazi is a Jew hater. DUH !!

66666z what do you mean by acceptable ? He said women become feminists because they are not loved. It isnt about accepting it or shunning it, it is about assuming ifhe is right or wrong. No everything is about how you feel and feelings. And to answer your question no I do not think women who are involved with men are any less imune to feminism than men saudi men involved with loving women are to repressive views about women.

Answer 1

Actually, I would respect someone more for telling me directly that they don't like me than those who use wordplay and innuendo to smile in my face while trying to stab me in the back.

Feminists use subterfuge and innuendo in place of fact. Ways such as their demand for "equality" while also defending the unilateral right for women ONLY to have reproductive choice solely because of their gender, which is sexism.

For instance, one answer mentioned something about anti-feminsts hating women, as if all women were feminists. This is an example of innuendo or word play and is similar to saying that a republican that is "anti-democrat" is "anti-black" based on the fact that blacks as a group tend to vote along democratic party lines. Both are ridiculous but without carefully considering what is actually being said, it passes a lie as truth and goes almost unnoticed.

With a little careful reading, especially reading what is intentionally NOT said, one can determine that feminists almost to a person, hate men and this includes the male feminists. The hatred is not necessarily paramount but can be measured by degrees.

Some feminists hate all men; some hate most men; some are simply brainwashed into believing that men are lesser creatures to the extent that special privileges for women is viewed as "equality". Sadly, most don't even realize they are sexist, in my opinion.

Answer 2

because of the fact how else are you able to describe it? Feminist's have been in can charge of the US residing house of Representatives for the reason that 06, for the reason that then men's well being learn has been cut back while that's already grossly underfunded. If the government creates a software designed in uncomplicated terms for mothers feminist's cheer while a software is created to sell fatherhood(yet is likewise designed to assist mothers besides) feminist's sue to close it down.. and then there is paternity fraud.. you may say that the undesirable gets extra interest properly it is not merely that. At each point of government and society feminist's seek for to shrink and strip us guy's of our human rights. maximum of situation's from our reproductive rights(sorry yet abstinence isn't a valid excuse) to the way the present academic gadget is anti male. there's a wealth of advice obtainable, phony learn outright lies. look at any feminist controlled college direction. you may declare "properly that's no longer each feminist" properly guess what that's. by ability of failing to protest against those "radicals" your rubber stamping them. by ability of claiming to be a "stable" feminist your protective them. Evil happens interior the international while stable people do no longer something. in case you may no longer see it probability is your component of the difficulty no longer component of the answer.

Answer 3

Anyone who falls prey to hate is a lost soul, and sadly there have been many in feminism. There are many examples of this e.g.

"I feel that 'man-hating' is an honourable and viable political act, that the oppressed have a right to class-hatred against the class that is oppressing them." -- Robin Morgan, MS. Magazine Editor

Why do the feminists who hate men claim not to? They didn't care in the past, but are more careful now because they know it makes them look prejudiced thus undermining any claim to rationality that underpins their position. Like racial prejudice, the hate has gone underground to some degree.

Edit
"Please supply one example other than extreme, radical feminists who have ever claimed to hate men". This is a bit circular, like saying 'Please supply one example other than extreme men haters who have ever claimed to hate men' i.e. the assumption is that anyone who hates men is an extreme radical feminist, thus there can be no examples of feminists who hate men who are not extreme radical feminists.

Answer 4

I won't deny that there are a good many people claiming to be feminists that do hate men. But to say that because these people feel a certain way, everyone who falls into that category also feels a certain way, no matter what they say about themselves, is simplistic.

Let's look at another ideological group--minority civil rights activists. Now there are certainly activists who are so angry at the current and past oppression of minorities that they hate white people. But that is definitely not true for everyone. Many, if not most, just want to spread awareness of the problems they're fighting against and back solutions that would reverse the problem.

Feminists are the same way. There are many women who are angry at the past and present inequalities faced by women, and so they've channelled this anger into a hatred of the "oppressors." These people, unfortunately, tend to be the most vocal.

Other feminists (myself included) believe that the status and treatment of women in society has come a long way, but that there are still many things to achieve. In fact, one of my key beliefs about female equality is that for all roles to be available and acceptable for women the same has to be true for men.

Why would I hold a view that strives for the expansion of roles for everyone, but secretly hate half the world's population? That just doesn't make sense. I am not going to "admit" that I hate men because that would be lying.

My theory is that you want all feminists to hate men so that you can justify your hatred of what you conceive feminism to be.

Answer 5

Women are lovely but don't forget that 'feminists' are not normal women, they are misfits, forever in denial, and living in a past of their own making.

Hate is at the very heart of feminism. Those 'feminists' who do not denigrate or hate men are not really feminists at all. Just girls and women who have lost their way.

[Bog Carnival] "... there's several kinds of feminism" - There aren't, you know. That's like saying a nazi isn't a nazi. Feminism is feminism is feminism.

Answer 6

Why do you think that women who want more out of their lives than to be married or to have children must be that way because they hate men? Why do you that all women are a certain way or another? Why do you think they are incapable of thinking logically and are ruled by feelings and emotions? Why do you think that women who genuinely don't enjoy cooking and cleaning must be that way because they hate men or are lesbians? The point is that women vary among themselves individually as men do. Many resent being pigeonholed or forced into behaviors or roles simply because of their sex. That does not mean they want to be men, hate men, or are lesbians if they don't conform to what are considered to appropriate feminine roles.

Answer 7

There may be some who hate men, but what is the point in that? All I'm asking for is getting paid the same as my male colleagues, and that I'll have the same chances as they. I don't think that's such a very unfair thing to ask that I should be told that I hate men, because it just isn't true.

Answer 8

Please supply one example other than extreme, radical feminists who have ever claimed to hate men. I doubt that you can find one anymore than you can find any example in this forum of feminists stating they hate men. This has been proven again, and again, and again. Why do you keep asking the same question when you will obviously never get a different answer other than the truth.

Answer 9

I was talking to another poster and she mentioned something extremely interesting - that she was a modern feminist and saw both genders as equals. For this reason, she was targeted as "anti feminist" by many older feminists, who saw men as the enemy rather than as an equal.

I think this comment makes perfect sense in the light of what feminist origins were and what feminists and women in general enjoy today. So to answer your question, some feminists may hate men because they still view them as the dominant enemy that denied women their rights and liberties for generations and in history. But others don't hate men, just ask that women be accepted as equals. I see myself as the latter -

its a fact that women are treated as equals. I don't hate men, I appreciate their acceptance. I ask this equality remains this way.

And face it Cassius - if they did say they hated men, they would be criticised even more for being arrogant, biased and narrow minded. There would be no talk of respect at all.

You're automatically assuming that if you're feminist, you are a man hater - what basis is there for THAT?

Answer 10

If there is one thing I've learned in 64 years is that the female brain is assaulted by resident chemicals who's interactive behavior is unpredictable, making any normal assumptions on any man's part null and void. Placating and sycophant ism, by men, is the only way to minimally control the female's reactions to make life bearable for mankind.
