Bitter neckbeards hate feminism, because they know that the more rights women have, the smaller their chances of getting pity laid get.

So most of CE, exactly

Yeah, really not that surprising. All they do is make it seem as if most feminists have crazy opinions in order to shut down legitimate concerns about women's rights.

Sad, virginal nerds.

Then call it that. Feminism is female supremacy like look at the root word in the name and actions.

When it was originally conceived of, it was chiefly focused on addressing the huge gap in rights between men and women. The intention was always to bring women up to equal standing to men. Once that is done, I guess the name could be changed? We obviously have achieved equality though, since women still aren't being paid an equal wage for the same jobs men are doing.

:v Once that gets worked out I'll get started on the name change paperwork.

If that's true then why don't they hire more women if they get paid less than men? Just curious.

Um, what do you think feminists do to any mention of "men's rights" at all? Fucking hypocrites.

Masculinism actually started as the male analog to Feminism by male second-wave feminists in the 1970s with full support by the second wave feminist movement.

The fringe and many if not most third-wave feminists that have emerged since then, unfortunately, refuse to acknowledge male issues and consider masculinism sexism. At best, they'll condescendingly consider "approved" male issues a part of "feminism." All of which is quite frankly disgusting, given the consequences of this attitude in the legal and social realms.

Look at all the men in this topic explaining what feminism is. Thanks for explaining. As a woman I get confused by concepts that permeate throughout every interaction I've ever had and will ever have.

If perspectives in this topic are wrong, offer counterarguments rather than fallacies.

I'll agree with this one. I find "MRA" stuff to be radioactive, but reading sources like the Good Men Project and /r/MensLib is somewhat fascinating.

Trust us. Us embittered dorks who are more than a little angry about our lack of success with women will explain all you need to know about the evils of feminism. As a woman, you have no idea how hard it is for us men out there.

Yeah, any feminist worth their salt knows that patriarchy and toxic masculinity hurts men as well as women.
