Feminism only perpertrates female stereotypes, by trying to enforce male stereotypes.


Don't want to be called "The Ball and Chain"? Quit calling your boyfriend a pig everytime he changes the channel, or looks at a commercial with girls in it.


Another thing that pisses me off about guys today - too many of us watch too much television. I can't remember the last time I've watched television of my own volition and I've been that much more interesting, better informed and more socially adept for it.

I think if other guys spent less time giggling at fart jokes, beer jokes, retarded standup comics and various sitcom incarnations of Homer Simpson, they might have their heads on a little straighter.


That I agree with. On both sides. But comments like this:

MENtal Anxiety
MENtal Breakdown
MENstrual Cramps
MENopause.....

Did you ever notice
how all of our problems
begin with MEN?

Irk me.

The fact of the matter is that both sides need to learn to respect each other more.

Oh, I get it now.

You're an idiot.

That's right. Because I love a guy in a mini skirt that holds up a sign about how he's not just a piece of meat.

Feminism FTW! Feminazism FTL!
     
Everyone who knows anything of history also knows that great social revolutions are impossible without the feminine ferment. Social progress may be measured precisely by the social position of the fair sex (ugly ones included).

It's nice to know that a man is realizing how stupid some other males sound, although tbh, I think this is mostly a problem with horny, hormone-crazed teenage boys.

Now I'm not saying that older men can't be assholes, but predominately, it's the younger, immature ones that act like such idiots. Of course, there are still many decent teenage guys, so all hope is not lost.

Your rant does make decent guys seem like a much more infrequent occurrence than they actually are. I think it really depends on what types of people you interact with. Even in this day and age, when men that you described in your post exist in abundance, there are still a great many gentlemen in this world that don't abuse a relationship, and that can treat a woman decently.

But men aren't entirely to blame, I would think. I think it was... Dave Chappelle? that said it was women who had killed chivalry, and in a way, it's sad but true.

In terms of brains, bigger =/= better.

Please, they discovered this way back when the Darwinian theories first came out and crazy people were like, "Aryans have bigger heads and so are better! Let's kill the minorities because their heads are smaller!"

yo op, you should support feminism, but not all feminists agree on whether men can be feminists (because feminism contains a wide variety of views), so I've found that for politeness sake you can call yourself a supporter of feminism and get along with everyone.

Unless they get upset and tell you that you are a feminist, then you can just say "Hell yeah"

Feminism seriously owns and if anyone is really curious about being a dude feminist, send me a pm and i'll send you a copy of bell hooks book Feminism is for Everyone which not only owns, but explains feminism and the male role in feminism very clearly and in an entertaining fashion, I recommend yall read it

edit: actually not just dude feminists, anyone who's really interested about feminism can pm me for it, but the thread was about dude feminists so I thought i'd start there
 
     
From the Wood of the Old Wives Fables
They glittered out of the grey,
And with all the armies of elf-land
I strove like a beast at bay;

For they came with chains of flowers
and lilies' lances free,
There in the quiet greenwood
to take my grief from me.

 
You think this is bad, check out r9k on 4chan. Whoo! Talk about misogyny. To them, all women are lying cheating whores.

Most of you morons do not know woman, you do not understand them and you do not value them, and by extension you do not deserve women or have their company.


You spent all this time ranting and raving about how women are so mistreated and misunderstood and men are pigs and nobody understands except for you, and yet you refer to them as if they're a prize to be earned?
