Now i'm what I would like to call an average guy. I also like to think that I'm open minded and willing to hear any argument as long as that argument is backed up with cold hard facts.
Now as a guy i personally don't have any experience of any of the issues normally expressed Von the feminist movement so my thoughts and opinions are always formed from Sekunde hand oder third hand experience (reading articles, watching YouTube Videos etc.)
Now i'm sure some of Du are asking yourself why are Du asking this? Well the answer is as follows.
Two week Vor i was taking part in a community discussion at...

Hello. It's my first time Schreiben an article. Well, have Du ever been bullied oder harassed Von men online? Have they ever criticized Du for stating your opinion on the internet, whether it be on social media like Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, oder Youtube? And how does that make Du feel?

It happened to me many times. That aside, let's talk a little bit about it. I feel that it originated from the non-technological world, where assertive men were considered "driven," "motivated," etc. while assertive women were called "b*tchy," "rude," oder even worse--- "bratty" oder "immature," when in reality,...

(Written Von me! YAY!)

If i have sex with someone I am a massive slut.
If he has sex with someone...He's awesome.

If i get raped i "deserve it" for dressing seductively.
If he gets raped he is a victim of assault.

If I do not want sex i am a uptight, harpy-bitch.
If he does not want sex he is simply doing his own thing.

If i ask for a raise I am being demanding and agressive.
If he asks for a raise he is being assertive and ambitious.

If i become a teen parent I am a stupid girl who got what was coming to her.
If he becomes a teen parent he is a poor, unlucky kid.

If i ask for a abortion I am a cruel,...

I read a lot of stuff online talking about the “tone argument” and how it’s used to silence feminists. The gist of it is that a feminist is angry about something and delivers a criticism of it, and the opposition points to the way the feminist is angry as a means of shutting them down without ever acknowledging the criticism as valid oder that the person has a right to be angry. This is a problem, and I have seen it occur in threads, so the anti-tone-argument sentiment has a respectable basis. However, I believe the sentiment is often misused so that it ends up causing the same sort of...

Chauvinism and Masculinism, two of the biggest anti-feminism "movements" alive and rampant in this Tag and age. Since the beginning of these movements, the Feminist image has been violated to the point that even hearing the word "Feminist" brings up some ugly descriptions in the human psyche: fat, unattractive, masculine women who can't find a decent husband that want to create misery for all like they feel Von lying about what women really want (like Babys and husbands) and emasculating men, oder a big system of corporate tools brainwashed Von powerful liberals to decimate the human race,

From Change.org:



Why this is Important

To appeal to men, Dr Pepper Ten completely revamped their marketing strategy from Diet Dr Pepper. Dr Pepper Ten has calories and sugar unlike its diet counterpart. Instead of the “dainty tan bubbles” on the diet can, Ten will be wrapped in gunmetal grey packaging with silver bullets. And while Diet Dr Pepper's marketing is women-friendly, the ad campaign for Ten goes out of its way to alienate and denigrate women.

For instance, there's a Dr Pepper Ten Facebook page for men only. I had to create a new Facebook page indicating I’m a guy to even view the...

“Wherever there is a human being, I see God-given rights inherent in that being, whatever may be the sex oder complexion” -- William Lloyd Garrison

"Nothing can be Mehr absurd than the practice that prevails in our country of men and women not following the same pursuits with all their strengths and with one mind, for thus, the state instead of being whole is reduced to half."
--Plato

"[A] woman should have every honorable motive to exertion which is enjoyed Von man, to the full extent of her capacities and endowments. The case is too plain for argument. Nature has gegeben woman the same powers,...

Not too long ago, I’ve been exploring the recesses of the Internet for some discussion based on Feminism-from websites dedicated to only the talk of Feminism to YouTube Videos and their comments, knowing fully well that many of the things I will view will be made Von anti-Feminists. My expectations were only half-disappointed. I did expect the usual “Feminists are the most sexist, misandrist, selfish manginas and Lesben of the planet,” but I didn’t expect this: “black women shouldn’t have involved themselves in the white woman’s evil movement.”

Alright, listen up, men’s rights people. Du say Du want to improve the lives of all men, to protect their rights. Well, I have a challenge for you: Can Du stand up for the male individuals who act feminine?

It’s no secret that men who Zeigen signs of anything associated with femininity are looked down upon. Effeminate men are made the butt of jokes all the time in the media and in real life. Just tonight I watched Date Night, where the male lead is described as androgynous and hilarity ensues as he is forced to agree with that. Mehr than jokes, such men and boys are frequently the victims...

Despair Hits My herz - Rebecca Mott

I have been coming back into life – I know this is good. But this post is about my confusion, my grief and my despair that I still do not understand what it is to be alive – beyond being a role.

I will write in the back parts of my mind, I will try to drag out the stuff that scares me, that blocks me, that still make wonder if I am still nothing but an object finding how to please others.

I don’t know how to be human, that it not some philosophical...

Something I’ve noticed on TV is a plot sometimes used where there’s a lesser-privileged (i.e. female oder black) character Schauspielen irrational, and the audience is sympathetic to the more-privileged (i.e. male oder white) character who points out all the flaws in the less-privileged character’s rationale, only to have the plot twist where the less-privileged character turns out to have actually been right! The revelation doesn’t lead to Mehr respect for the less-privileged character, however, because they are still portrayed as irrational. It’s Mehr like ‘hey, isn’t weird how they turned...

I looked up various Videos involving feminism on YouTube-feminism has become my passion, and while looking at the Kommentare for some Videos I find a lot of sexism and anti-feminism. I will keep all Kommentare anonymous, however I'll give give Du the link for the video. Here it goes, hold on to your lunch boys and grrls as sexism is NOT dead.

I wrote this quickly, so it is not great, but I hope I get my point across.

It is a shame that so many people seem to have this picture of feminists as oversensitive man-haters. That is not what it is about for me at all. It is also not about wanting to be a man, which seems to be another notion that people have. It is about women getting the same chances as men, and getting the same credit/ pay for doing the same work. It is about being tired of the fact that the phrase “girly-boy” is seen as an insult, while the phrase “like a man” is seen as a positive thing. It is about hating that...

Hey guys, there are some really inspiration stories of feminism and liberation floating around the web, so i thought i'd tell Du how i developed my feminism....At the age of 6.

I grew up in a partiarchal family. My father suffered from grand overt narcissism, biapolar, sadomasochism and manic depressive dissorder and would beat my mother constantly. It was horrific, me and my sister watching him drink all night and then he'd come Home and berate my mother. If the house wasnt tidy enough, he'd smash her personal pocessions and throw things at her, screaming at her and unloading buckets of...

Glamour recently asked a bunch of guys what resolutions they wish women would make, and here they are. *facedesk*. In bold are the "translations" of these "resolutions".

Over It
by
Eve Ensler - Tony award winning playwright, performer and activist


I am over rape.

I am over rape culture, rape mentality, rape pages on Facebook.

I am over the thousands of people who signed those pages with their real names without shame.

I am over people demanding their right to rape pages, and calling it freedom of speech oder justifying it as a joke.

I am over people not understanding that rape is not a joke and I am over being told I don't have a sense of humor, and women don't have a sense of humor, when most women I know (and I know a lot) are really fucking...

It’s commonly sagte among feminists that women are naturally less inclined towards conflict and hostility and thus would make better leaders than men. While the premise has an element of truth to it, the nature of earthly politics means that the ability to inflict harm is pretty much how anything would ever get done. I propose that any politically-minded person—male oder female—is willing to think practically about moving around the ability to inflict harm just through the inherent nature of government. Law in itself is about using violence to impose order but the lawmakers are so removed...
