Why would you care........?

Question

whether Feminism was around or not? That's if you truly despise Feminism.
If Feminism just magically disappeared, would you think that things would radically change to be in your favour if you're a man?
What would you think would happen in society?
No fairy-tale answers needed, just honest answers.

Can see your point Whiner. :)
I don't think much would change at all, but men & women would be still fighting for better rights & all that hoo-ha.

Whiner, lmao! Now saying sorry for a depressing answer is truly funny.

Oh my, now that's definately took me off guard. Wonder where the lovely Lady lion is to take the focus back?

Answer 1

Many break-throughs happened without feminism.. The pill and certain forms of abortion, for example. Similarly, the shift in cultures would still happen that see more men becoming unemployed, such as coal-mining and other hazardous jobs, for example.
So in many ways, men & women would still be where we are today - perhaps it would have taken longer though for some areas to be 'fulfilled'. On the other hand, I think men would not be so heavily bashed and used as a source of mockery or excuse for any & everything wrong in today's world. Boys education wouldn't be so ignored while girls are prioritized and men would still be respected instead of sneered at.

I know that my love for my daughters will never be broken nor reinforced (i.e. affected for bad or good) because of feminism - and even their mother has tried to sabotage their relationship to me by telling half-stories, and so their love for me cannot be affected by hate inspired tactics either.

This can explain the mass upsurge of suicides (and I couldn't even believe yesterday's cr@p) in young men, especially around Christmas time (alone, missing kids & family, etc.) So if feminism didn't have such a stranglehold on family matters many more guys would be in a better position and not jumping off bridges in desperation.

Answer 2

well, you sort of answered your own question...at least for a little while.

Obviously anyone that truly despised it would care, whether or not the possibly imagined benefits he/she expected would come from it's disappearance materialized.

Me, I don't think much would happen in society. I think we are long past the point where any "rebel with a cause" could go successfully head on head with the media-driven, ostensibly egalitarian, wholesale dumbing down of the collective psyche, which has, among many other weighty sins, succeeded in making unsupportable, unrealistic, uncompromising goody two shoes moralism (the type that can be adhered to ONLY by the folks that write about and speak of the real world - not the people that live in it) a universal standard that can be assailed only at one's personal and professional peril.

So who needs to sweat that? The work is being done for most of the folks that percieve themselves to be iconoclasts and free thinkers. Their howling is merely assimilated into the swirling backdraft following this forced-opinion juggernaut. And I guess it's no real cause for concern that same work creates genuine despair amongst those that really are. I can't help anyone decide which group they fall into.

As for those that fall into the latter category, well, they don't matter. Not now. And they won't. Until what is rapidly becoming an actively policed global governmental and intellectual centralization (on a scale that makes Orwell's worst nightmares so pale by comparison that the average mind would balk at taking the measure of the differential) collapses under the weight of it's own arrogance, like an enormous, rotten pumpkin.

And it will. Anyone that doubts it is a piss-poor student of history.

All the real rebels just have to bide their time, I guess.

Answer 3

Shivers is defenitely the hottest and open minded feminist on YA

edit sorry got caught in the hotness.
I would care if feminism was not around, just not what feminism has become or how women have became these days. Equal rights yes.....but not how women are today and the lack of any connection to family as there use to be.

Answer 4

The way you spell favor leads me to believe you are UK or from another country. I guess it's the same where you are as it is here. Yes, I would not like it if feminism were not around, someone has to stand up for women's rights. What would happen in society nowadays without it? Impossible to answer, really. Back in the 60s and beyond, women put up with a lot of stuff they never would now. Divorce was scandalous, I know that. Women were not allowed abortions. Women just put up with a lot of stuff and stayed married. I guess all in all, it is in our favor.

Answer 5

I could not care less if feminism was around or not.I know what I want and I know what I like.I also treat women with due respect and equality.It is femininity I would be worried about ,if it disappeared

Answer 6

Looking at how towns sprung up in the old west is a clue to how the world would be without the Feminist. In the old west, when men would establish a town, their first and only priority was putting up the saloon. Settlers would later arrive with their wives, and the women would want schools and churches to be built.

It would not be favorable for men. The lesson we learn when we observe how old-west towns were created, is that women brought civility and order, where there was none before their arrival.

Answer 7

I like your question. I know you want answers from men, but I can point to the Conservative Muslim societies for the answer. The balance of society is completely thrown off without the input of women. Aggression and war are the only answers, and centuries of infighting led them nowhere until Europeans (see Lawrence of Arabia, etc.) showed them that it was better to come together and have peace. There are many variables, and I generalize, but it is a point for consideration.

Answer 8

Be a lot less headaches. I dount anything in my immediate life would change, as we already have sexual equality where I live, and feminism here basically boils down to people making much ado about nothing.

Answer 9

The world would be a much better place without feminism. Just IMO

Answer 10

I was a feminist before I even knew what feminism was. So if feminism disappeared, I doubt I'd feel any differently. The name can go away, the concept, in my opinion, would remain.
