Yall will hate me for this post

But I think I might be a sexist. Females don't talk to me so its like I've started to see them as an alien race. I can't help it.

They always seem like they think they're better than everyone else. And they gossip all the time even my mom. On other forums males only like my post. I liked that the new Star Wars lead was female but now their are too many Heroines in movies.

My favorite video game is Zelda and Link is one of the most iconic video game characters ever. A female Link was included in a spin-off game and now some want her in the new console game. Why not make Mario and Luigi female versions too? I swear ima be angry if Nintendo caves into that bs.

Another thing is I had a facebook before and my friends would always like girls from my school's posts. It would show up on my wall thing. A picture of them and something about privates or sex. They do this for the likes and attention. I guess men are at fault for this too, guys never get attention on thier profiles. A popular guy at my school gets 15 likes while a girl gets atleast 80.

Feminism has succeeded in turning the culture into an estrogen-fest. Now they are coming for the male spaces like action movies, video games and sports

And yes, guys need to stop handing out the "likes" on social media. They won't though because so many are absolutely thirsty for female attention.

Maybe you should talk to your mom.

Not really. I think it's okay to feel things have gone a little overboard with feminism. I'm a girl, but I don't go crazy with feminism, like some people do. I get annoyed when girls act pissed off if a guy holds a door open for her. Seriously? It was a kind act, just say thank you. It's not that the guy thinks she can't get the door herself. Anyway, I feel that there are just stupid double standards.

I will say not all girls are like what you mentioned, but it is irritating that a vast number of them are. Again, I think some things have gone overboard, because people overcompensate and feel the need to prove they believe in female empowerment. Some things become a little cheesy and worthy of an eye-roll when they do that. Like, why does nearly every speedy/adventurous car commercial now have to feature a woman driving the car?

As far as the male roles in video games, I think that they need to stop re-doing characters. If they want to cast a female character as a lead, then think of something new. Don't re-do an iconic male character just for the sake of having a female equivalent. It defeats the purpose to me. A female character won't come out as strong and iconic if she's just based off of another. Seems unoriginal to me.

Link is so pretty, that I dont think it'll make much of a difference haha. The only dude prettier than Link is Cloud Strife.

Yeah I bet they said the same when the black people came for the white spaces like buses, bars and restaurants

(Ok I'm done b*tching, I think I'm tired)

I always believe this new feminist thing was part of an conspiracy that increase the number of gays. Because I notice an increase in gays almost the same time this new feminist thing started.

I'm pretty sure you would get that in any culture that moves away from persecution and towards acceptance.

Tbh I would think feminism would actually be a good thing for men.

No it's not a good things. Everyone in 2016 knows that everyone is equal. Feminism is just putting females on a pedestal.

It is actually in a round about way.

In the past a man's life was pretty much planned out by society. Family, marriage, work, war...of course all that still exists but the pressure to perform isn't as great now.
However, there is still some shaming going on for men who don't follow the script.
That dude's Facebook post that went viral this week is a good example.

Add to the fact that "liberated" females are willing to have sex outside of marriage and you can see how men win on that front.

However, as Chev said, feminism has gone too far and has robbed many women of their feminine energy.

It's actually reached it's tipping point and has become something bizarre.

No sir, what you're seeing on facebook is dudes looking to get lucky. And we're not the only species on this planet where males compete to get female attention. If you should dislike anything it should be the cruelty of natural selection not feminism.

What post went viral?

I've been averse to the feminist "movement" from the get-go, pretty much since the first time I even took a look at it beyond the textbook definition. They don't represent me at all, no matter how much they claim to be about "equality."

To be honest, from what you've said, you don't sound like a sexist. There's a lot of behavior many women take part in (often without even realizing it) that is just ****ing annoying and insufferable. I'm sure men feel the same way about other men, and women feel the same way about men. When you keep seeing a behavior (and the attitudes that often come with it), it's easy to be contemptible of all people in the group exhibiting it. I often have to remind myself that everyone is an individual before they are part of a collective. It's what keeps me from automatically assuming someone is a certain way without giving them a chance to prove me wrong.

It's okay to be wary due to personal experiences and/or observations, as long as it doesn't cloud your judgment.

What is feminism?

If feminism is the idea of equal citizenship rights and responsibilities for both men and women, then pretty much everyone in the western world is a feminist.

However, modern feminism is not that. It's actually a bunch of pressure groups demanding influence over governments, when they are not trying to become the government themselves, for creating laws undermining individual freedom. They want to dictate how much employers must pay and who they must hire, they want their fringe ideology brainwashing the kids in every public school, they want laws censoring who opposes them while they want the freedom to disrespect, attack and even destroy the lives of anyone in their way.

But their influence on the culture is equally bad, they bully women into obeying their ideology, women have the right to behave and think like them, nothing else.

Many of them are backed up by so******t and communist parties, but they usually keep those connections away from the eyes of the public.

That's pretty much it, a pink and histrionic so******m.

S o c i a l i s m and derivatives are censored? I loved it! :bigsmile:

I think this is feminism if you add equal pay rate for equal work

I think it's like saying that kamikaze is modern islam

I have a lot of brain ideas of things I think that I need to word.....overwhelm...so.....

deep breath....

Feminism.....I have this love/hate relationship with it. What I think it is and what other people think it is seem to be very different. So I think it should allow me- a woman in a male dominated area to study/work in that area same as a man. But other "feminists" seem to think it means that I a woman should make a big thing about being a woman in this area and attend regular conferences about what its like to be a woman in this area. Yet men don't have to do that. Constantly feminists are promoting getting more women involved in the area and I don't think it should be about getting more women involved-I think it should be about getting more people who have the right skill set and an interest involved

I think now theres so many other ways we identify than just male or female....'feminism' just doesn't cut the mustard and it doesnt serve to make things better for everyone. There needs to be peopleism to promote equal rights for all genders.

I'm so so so fed up of cliche female protagonists in movies i.e. michelle rodriguez. Script writers need to understand that there are other types of female personality. Feminism does not equate to Michelle Rodriguez.

Then there's social media the majority of it.....terrible, a place were society disproportionately rewards women for being pretty. mg: technology has in fact brought us back in time.

Feminism seems to mean too many different things now. People can't agree what it actually is. Society needs something new.

And also taking away maternity leave and being able to retire earlier?

Also, if having women work for you is cheaper, all employers would rather be hiring them instead of men. However when there is a preference for having a woman for the job instead of a man, it's never because of the payment but related to the nature of the job.

That sounds like a fault of the employers rather than women wanting equal rights. Thats like me getting mad that Mexicans are taking the minimum wage jobs, but they're not forcing companies to hire them. As for the preference for a woman, that sounds like another equality issue that I would think feminism would be against. Say that woman wants to do more than answer phones for a living. But no, thats a womans job. What if MY dreams are to be a secretary? No thats a womans job. Its not good for any of us.

As for maternity leave, the only way we would make that fair is if we alter everyone's anatomy so that we're all physically the same.
