I'm the same way. Though if women want to fight for more then more power for them. I'm all for equality. However...I don't like those who are anti-men and think all men are evil (hello tumblr), and I hate being judged for what I decide to do with my life.
I have been told before that I should be working, even have two jobs. I've seen post that say "if you aren't doing (insert something women have fought for) then you are setting all of women kind backwards. Really? I enjoy staying at home and taking care of the household. I enjoy cleaning and taking care of our daughter. No one should try and tell me other wise.
Women fought for the choice to do what they want. Want to work? Okay fine. Want to be a housewife/sahm? Okay thats fine too. Hell even if a woman chooses to be a stripper (hey it can happen), then great. Thats YOUR life choice and no one elses.
Its this kind of common sense that needs to be supported more whereas the whole "BUT UR SUpport dah patriarchy Social construct structure of the woman hating heteronormative white male imperialism don't be a house wife elzzz u support this u big0t!" s**t that needs to be mocked out of existence.
Also if women want equal rights to be moved ahead they need to call out their current spokeswomen (who mainly are feminists) for ignoring facts like the fact that the gender wage gap claim of "Women make 77 cents for every man's dollar for the same work" is pure nonsense and can be demonstrated as such by a quick fact check.
As long as feminism is allowed to be the main voice for women's rights in society women are going to have a harder time getting a larger and larger portion of both men and women to take them seriously. This is because so called "facts" that feminists use all the time (like the one I mentioned above) are used all the time by feminists even though they have been debunked over and over again. First of all it grows distrust in people because by saying "Women make 77 cents to every man's dollar for the same work" it means one of two things, either this person is ignorant of basic facts and just believes anything they hear on television that supports their view (they're biased and stupid) which makes people skeptical of everything else the person is saying, or it demonstrates that the person is a liar. Secondly it's a marketing issue, it's hard to take a group seriously when they make statements that have already been debunked a million times already and yet they continue to say it. It just makes the entire group look really bad.
Feminism is exactly like Creationism in this sense, they essentially plug their ears and go "lalala can't hear you lalala" when someone points out that a factual claim they're making is wrong.
More women should speak out against feminists because when men do it we're just called misogynists. At least when women speak out against feminism they can't use the regular ad hominems like "Ur just pivilegleged white male lolol" and those other logical fallacies. It'd be wonderful if we could get rid of the "Ur privielged her durr durr" argument that is completely logically fallacious but accepted in our culture. If this kind of behavior was no longer tolerated it would help people actually listen to each other more. The problem is liberals who claim to be in favor of just treating people as people, and claim to be open minded, are the most close minded of all and they don't treat people like people whenever they disagree with them. They're total hypocrites and it'd be great if more women began calling out this bullshit because as I said the trump card can't be used against women.
More people will be open minded to changing their views on gender when feminism is gotten rid of and instead a dialogue that involves accurate facts and rationality is in it's place.
We don't need sociology, gender issues, critical theory, and all these other bullshit fields that support feminism. These fields are taken seriously by very few people in the general population because most people have the common sense to see just how utterly intellectually bankrupt and stupid these fields really are. All we need in order to have a dialogue about gender issues is an open mind to the facts and common sense. We don't need all this postmodern nonsense about "Dah patriarchy white heteronormative" these people just look like morons when they say this stuff and it hurts women because these people are the people who claim to be "pro-women".
