I can't paint all feminists with the same brush. There are those whom I see as supporting a legitimate cause, and whom I could even sympathize with. Then there's the other extreme where they don't care about someone else having to suffer oppression in order for them to get what they want.
I wouldn't want to annoy the first kind. Simply being a man is enough to annoy the second kind.
There are only two kinds of “feminists.” Bored feminists who enjoy studying the relations between the opposing gender groups because they have nothing else better to do and aren’t really interested in gender equality anyway as is proved by how little they care about the issue outside of their own culture, and Psychotic feminists who truly hate men because they have no idea how the world works through their psychosis and no idea how to obtain what they want from the males they believe they are entitled to associate with.
"This is the hard truth for progressive men who care about gender-based inequalities: When you leave the public fight to others, you’re leaving it mostly to women—which, I don’t guess I need to point out to the intelligent and thoughtful men reading this site, is itself a perpetuation of gender-based inequality.
I’ll give you a moment to contemplate the many ways in which treating feminism as “woman’s work” is some *ed-up irony, right there.
Now here’s the other thing about leaving the rectification of gender-based inequalities to the ladies: Misogynist men don’t respect women. They don’t listen to women; they won’t acknowledge a woman’s authority on her own lived experiences; they’re not going to learn anything from women, and certainly not feminist women.
Men who think women are *less than need to hear that they’re terribly, infuriatingly, and demonstrably wrong from other men. Publicly. Passionately. As loud as the loud, so very loud, voices on the other side. One of the ways their self-reassuring bull** works is via the effective void of male dissension, which supports their erroneous belief that they are the “objective” arbiters of womanhood. Well, if we’re so wrong, where are the other people [men] to say so? they wonder smugly. They count on feminist men never showing up en masse for the main event."
That’s why men scour a hundred sites and memorize ‘pick-up’ lines, that’s why they buy you flowers and chocolates and diamonds. That’s why they ask their Amma’s to go to her house and propose. So who’s busy luring who again?
