The Antifeminist wrote:. wrote:The Antifeminist wrote:I am an ANTIFEMINIST myself. I've seen enough of feministic ideologies and stupidity to be put off it for life. It doesn't mean I don't support women's rights, groups or movements, heck I even donate to women's groups.
But let me outline why I'm against feminists particular the N.O.W type:
-N.O.W has opposed equal parenting movements whether fathers are heavily dicriminated and lose the majority of custody battles due to money leeching courts. Despite the fact that the majority of child abuse is perpetrated by single mothers (though there are far more single mothers and fathers) this group continues to declare how sadistic and evil fathers are. Two parent families have the lowest child abuse rates despite being the most common family structure, so the where's the logic in feminists opposing equal parenting?
-Radical feminists like Harriet Harman are trying to introduce bills which discriminate against men, particular white guys like myself, in the work force. Now, I don't have too much problem with affirmative action but when you start applying all around the workforce including female-dominated work places then I'm sorry; that's down right discrimination.
Harriet Harman is also responsible for introducing a bill which will basically give UK women a licence to kill. Basically all they have to do is shoot their husbands when they sleep then say their husband had been threatening them all their lives. Why is it too difficult to call the police. Of course men can't do the same to women because we all know women are incapable of psychological manipulation and threats (haha).
-Feminists continually create pseudo-statistics in order to form an attack on men. This is most notable at the moment in the US where they were trying to figure out why their aren't much women in engineering. The answer to this according to feminists is that MEN ARE SEXIST!!! Of course then they interviewed many women and found no sexism whatsoever. There was also overwhelming evidence that women simply didn't find engineering as appealing as men. Evidence includes things like men being systemizers and women being emphathizes, though of course this is a generalization it is in fact backed up by the fact that women dominate the social sciences and men the physical sciences. But of course feminists continued to insist it was due to sexism and now they're going to enforce a Title IX on the few male dominated courses left. Funny world we live in eh?
-Feminists continue to accuse men of earning more and say this is due solely to discimination. First of all: Men work longer hours on average, men aim for more money-focused jobs (look at distributions at universities), men take more life-risking jobs that women simply refuse to go for, men fight more aggressively for higher positions, no where is this more obvious than in politics, women also take longer leave including sick leave DESPITE THE FACT THAT MEN GET SICK MORE OFTEN. Secondly in terms of money each gender receives, outside of the workforce far more money goes from the male gender to the female gender. So in fact women have access to far more money; as men pay more taxes, more child support while women get priviledges such as maternal leave. Believe me, I don't have a problem with all this and I know that there are workplaces which discriminate in terms of pay against women, but the pay gap itself and every feminist attack on the gap itself is completely unjustified.
-Feminists killed chivalry. This was more or less an indirect consequence of feminism. However the fact that we now have political correctness as a means of enforced respect as opposed to the willful respect from chivalry tells me that women have to demand respect these days because quite frankly, they hardly worth giving chivalrous respect. Heck, men use to not be allowed to swear in a women's presence, but now we can get away with swearing in their faces. Believe me, I would prefer chivalry to replace political correctness but until women start respecting men back it's unlikely to be happening anytime soon.
I could say more, but I doubt anyone's going to read my whole comment anyway. In summary I'd like to say I support women's rights where they lack them, but I'm certainly not supporting a movement that demonises men (with exceptions like ifeminists of course), gives women priviledges at the expense of male rights, a movement which attempts to socially engineers society by being anti-marriage, anti-father, anti-motherhood etc etc.
So I leave you with this article about a particular dangerous feminism. I think people underestimate the evils of feminism:

scared of women?

Did I say I was scared of women? I said I supported many women's movements but not the one known as 'feminism'. As for single mothers being ditched by their husbands yes it does happen, but has it occured to you that those fathers know they won't win a custody battle in court anyway and therefore don't bother doing things the right way? Look at the custody battles; the vast majority of them go to mothers irrespective of how decent the father is. That said is it any wonder that when a man wants a divorce instead of risking an extremely biased court case he just leaves his wife?
As for demonising men, one has to only go as far as a women's studies lecture to see things like exaggerated r**** statistics, lectures about how white men have and continue to oppress women, how the pay gap is a result of discrimination in the work place which is in the main completely false. One only has to look at feminist sites to see the misandry and complete rubbish preached there.
I agree with what you're saying, but am not against women putting genuine woman haters and misogynists straight.
