I've found that MRA's and self proclaimed anti-feminists are hilarious.
Probably moreso than the pseudo-feminists on tumblr that they think speak for all of Feminism.

What gets me is also people who don't have a p***s who say "I see the struggle men face" when, as someone who has had a p***s, I don't see that there is really male oppression or wtf ever.
Most of the challenges when it comes to things like custody battles are because of backwards ideas when it comes to the sexes anyway, which is something actual Feminism seeks to address in the first place.

So the whole "anti-feminism" thing is a hilarious crock of s**t.
This isn't a shock though, given that most of them seem to just be the opposite of the tumblr psuedo-feminists on the spectrum.

Meaning the majority of these people are 15 and will grow out of it when they find something else to do, learn anything about the dynamics of society and history, or see how ideas actually work when applied irl.


I'm what some people would consider an anti-feminist. For me, I don't hate the idea behind feminism but I dislike how some feminists behave - especially on Tumblr. I've seen a couple of folks on here who behave a lot like that (one of them engages in the whole "screenshot anti-feminist blog descriptions hurhur I'm so witty" bullshit), but I'm not gonna name any names. Let's just say one of them blocked me for not liking the idea of a MRA fedora item.

Ever heard of Big Red? She's most definitely older than 15 years of age, and is a laughing stock among Tumblr anti-feminists.

Maybe for me the issue is people using feminism as an excuse to be a royal a*****e, and using activism to specifically benefit females. I've always had a problem with bullies, given nobody did anything about the ones I had in my life as a kid, so people who think shirts that say "I bathe in male tears" are funny sort of upset me, and people who think misandry isn't real so they're justified in harassing guys for inborn traits make me want to s**t my pants. Also, I find "manspreading" to be a first world problem in the truest sense of the term.

Yeah there's dumb teenagers in every group of people.

So are you also anti-anti-feminist? I don't get how your logic works.


I'm still trying to figure it out. I guess for now the best way to put it would be "I like the idea behind feminism but I don't necessarily like the people who are behind the movement." I hate how some people use feminism as a crutch to bully guys, sometimes for really personal reasons such as low self-esteem and insecurity. People who do this aren't much better than 9 year olds who think boys have cooties.

C. H. Sommers is pretty cool from what I've seen of her but she's been disowned by other feminists and that kind of upsets me. :<

Is this a joke? I feel like it's a joke. 'The real oppression men face' has to be a joke.

I'll remember that the next time some shithead on Tumblr says "lol male tears" or "be mean to boys because they oppress girls". There's a reason the phrase "not all feminists are like that" exists; there are bad feminists out there who make a mockery out of what feminism is supposed to be. It's not supposed to be about mocking guys because they're part of the patriarchy or some s**t.

Your logic is so weak and flawed that I don't even have time to explain all the things that are wrong with anti-feminism.

(Here's hoping this is actually a joke.)

What? I don't believe I ever mentioned being smart or stupid.

Okay, like I said, there's no logic to your argument, so I'm just gonna pop out now.

I don't think Yobyaxes likes being lumped in with my point of view any more than you lumping me in with him but that doesn't answer my question, nor are you correct in your assumption that I am an anti feminist. I am a critic of extremists of every variety but I am not against feminism.

Maybe my question wasn't clear so I will elaborate. Your post was one that implied that it is ludicrous to think that men are oppressed. Me asking "are you saying that men don't face oppression?" was me asking that there are no instances that men face oppression? The reason why I asked it is because I don't think you really thought about the implications of that statement.

Giving you the benefit of the doubt since my question was essentially baiting you I am just going to guess that you were just assuming that I was asking you whether or not you think there are instances where men are oppressed because of their sex as opposed to asking you whether or not you don't believe that there are any instances at all where men are oppressed.

edit:Jesus christ this thread makes me want to take an ice pick to my own head.
