I was recently asked by someone in my email why I hate feminist and I figured this would be a good opportunity to clear up some misconceptions about me and my beliefs. To answer this person who I will keep anonymous question to put it simply I do not hate feminist. Nor do I hate the feminist movement as a whole.
What I do not like is what the feminist movement seems to be turning into. Note I say do not like instead of hate is because I rarely hate anything (minus sauerkraut blargh!). Those out there that actually take the time to read a lot of the things I say and do on my personal blog would know that I support equality. And that includes gender, race, religious beliefs etc etc. As well equality doesn't just mean only the same rights it means the same rights, privileges, and obligations. But that is something that cannot be achieved by focusing on a single side of the problem, and by fighting for laws that favor one and harm the other.
Now I am sure a lot of people will not agree with me but I believe based on my own personal experiences with feminist, situations that have happened around me, and my own research I believe that the feminist movement is slowly turning into a hate movement instead of its original noble purpose of seeking equality. I say this due to the fact that most feminist tend to promote the idea that a man is a horrible person simply by being a man for it is in his nature to be as such and that women by their very nature are not.
This very concept alone is something I find laughable because I have met a lot of people in my short life and have found that there are just as many good people as there are bad and the percentile of of good men/bad men & good women/bad women has been 50% though I will admit the ways they were bad & good tended to be very different.
The bad men tended to be more up front with whatever they were doing and thus was more easily noticeable where as the bad women were more likely plot, and do things behind others back to hurt them only revealing it was them once it is all said and done to let the person know that they are the ones responsible. I say mostly because I grew up with a woman who was the opposite of that at least with me anyway she wore her cruel nature out in the open when it was just the two of us but hide it like a spy master when in front of others.
So no I do not hate feminist or the feminist movement what I hate is what they are slowly becoming and I pity them for while a lot of them see it and try to prevent it. It seems that for every 1 good feminist who truly is seeking equality there are 5 or more Feminazi's who automatically treat being male as a disease that needs to be destroyed.
Perfect examples of this are Valerie Solanas the writer of the Scum manifesto. The Femitheist Divine and her idea's such as male only abortions and international Castration day. And others such as Marilyn French, Barbara Jordan, and Andrea Dworkin just to name a few. So other examples of feminist who go around promoting quotes such as the following.
"Men never treated women as human, only sub human, the only reason we are treated better now, is because we have equal rights, if this culture was to break down, law & order disappear, we would have mayhem and men again would justify raping and abusing women with impunity, it is not men who have changed, it is only the laws that keep men in line." - Random Anonymous on tumblr
"All men are rapists and that's all they are." - Marilyn French, Author
"All sex, even consensual sex between a married couple, is an act of violence perpetrated against a woman." - Catherine MacKinnon
"I believe that women have a capacity for understanding and compassion which man structurally does not have, does not have it because he cannot have it. He's just incapable of it." - Former Congresswoman Barbara Jordan.
"Men who are unjustly accused of rape can sometimes gain from the experience." - Catherine Comin, Vassar College. Assistant Dean of Students.
"In a patriarchal society, all heterosexual intercourse is rape because women, as a group, are not strong enough to give meaningful consent." - Catharine MacKinnon, quoted in Professing Feminism: Cautionary Tales from the Strange World of Women's Studies.
"Women have always been the primary victims of war. Women lose their husbands, their fathers, their sons in combat." - Hillary Clinton.
And before anyone NAFALT's me or says that these women do not represent feminism or its ideals I would like to point out that most of these women's ideas are feminism just taken to the extreme.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, and if you have any other questions please feel free to ask them & I promise that I will answer them to the best of my ability.
