i have discussed this subject many times with feminist activists, and it seems to me like they more about control rather equality. in the modern world countries i don't see how i got more rights as a man, in fact it seems the opposit way.

Typical response you get from feminists are - 1. Read the dictionary definition of feminism. 2. You disagree with feminism, means you're woman hater. 3. If in any situation woman needs to pay for something, that means its inequality. 4. If it requires merit to compete then that is oppression. 5. If you don't find fat woman beautiful then you're woman hater. But men needs to be well toned body and rich. 6. Woman doesn't have to be rich and beautiful to get beautiful and rich man but otherway around. 7. ALL males are rapist. All males are bad. Only women are angles. 8. Only women work hard. Men don't. 9. If you stand for rights that benefit more to women then you're REAL man otherwise you're misogynist. 10. If you disagree with a woman, then you're misogynist And life goes on...

they also claim that there should be no gender differences, so i always ask them "would you date a feminine guy?" guess the answer =)) they usualy try to escape the question

@michasv yeah. that's why always our own self respect is better than being a feminist. Being feminist these days means being anti male for sure.

I think that's true of all "activists." It ceased being about "equality" a long, long time ago.

@michasv -- there's a US conservative talk show host who believes it's a case of what he calls "get even with 'em-ism," or the notion that men have to "suffer" now for all that "pain" inflicted on women in the past, most of which occurred before most of these people in the argument were even born.

@michasv The internet is full of statistics for different countries, even for the different states of the USA. The topic 'equal pay' isn't one for 'I really believe' but for facts which can be studied and compared.

Yes, they try to make everything at their advantage although equal opportunities means having the same rights, but also the same duties. If you're a woman, with a good job and maybe you're even wealthier than your partner, why is he supposed to pay bills or dinner all the time? Why pretending to get a role which traditionally was of men and then you avoid the other ones? Feminists used to be for equal opportunities but they went too far, now feminism turned into "inverted" sick sexism. I would say I'm an outdated feminism, I want to have the same rights as men (and I usually get them, except maybe for some traditions and values which are strong here) but I find it annoying when a man wants to pay a dinner bill: I feel like he wants to buy me.

@michasv At least they served. I don't think the amount of time they did it matters. I'll bet there are plenty of men who would drop out after two years if they could. Many don't because they're afraid of being labeled "cowards".

i see it as a hypocricy to demant equal right only when it serves you but not the same way around. in my country for example every person from age 18 have to serve in the army (woman too) but woman serve only 2 years and man 3 and i allways ask feminist "how much time did you served?" and then "why didn't you extend your serving to man like?" they always come up with stupid excuses but the truth is that it is only a little example and hypocricy

As long as women don't earn the same amount of money for the same jobs as men, equality hasn't been reached.

Men might get paid more, but generally they end up paying for more: Get rid of "ladies night", demand more women pay their fair share on dates, do something about the whole child support mess.

@cupkitties What a bizarre argument. It shouldn't matter how people spend their money. Same job, same pay. End of discussion.

It is human nature to take advantage of other peoples kindness. Feminism was good at first but now its starting to get out of hand. And it is not a womans job to stop feminism, it is mens Stand up for yourselves guys and don't argue with feminists (especially the crazy ones), your'e talking to a wall. Instead try to do something constructive and not resort to violence

In general human being like to control things, in-fact we are obsessed with it. Some people do it in conservative way while others do it under garb of activism. To make it more clear the male chauvinists do it in conservative way, that is , we(men) have ruled the world and it should remain like that, While radical feminist do it in activism way presenting as if the are trying to change the world. Main aim is to gain control. However things are not bad overall, i personally believe that world will get better since economic crisis from last decade has taught people a lot ,the hard way. Disposition of people is more towards compatibility than unnecessary conflicts.

Ahaa Feminism one of the most controversial topic. Its good at certain point but nowadays more misuse of this word. I see many post regarding this. I know only one thing that now the coming future only women will rule then new word came 'Malism' lolz then men ask for gender equality.

Masculism already exists. It's just that they aren't taken seriously thanks to movements like the MRA.

In my opinion our society still have many problems and that's why feminism is so important for all of us. It's not only about rights it's also about tradition (e.g. that women have to take care of children, cook meals, clean house etc.while their husbands are at work) also in many countries many women are afraid to go out at night(because of rapists). Women should have opportunity to chose who they want to be, what they want to do and how they want to look(they don't have to skinny, short and weak).

@michasv That's why one of you arranges your work schedule to be at home when the kids get out of school. Actually make that both of you, because taking care of the family is a two person job. With today's cost of living standard, it's necessary for both parents to work.

well.. i am expected to be a "man" just like you expected to be "woman" so it isnt no feministic problem. a couple its a team. if you and your man would work then who would take care of the family then?
