How many black males have you had intercourse with?
None, I'm not gay so it'll never happen anyway.
tumbler or old school feminist?
how does it feel knowing you are always right even when your wrong?
Why should literally anyone care about both yourself and feminism?
What's the recipe for tubby custard?
>male feminist
>not gay
Pick one
Neither.
Tumblr is where stupid teenagers cling themselves to groups (like feminism) and defend it with utmost loyalty. In the process they end up extending over feminism, saying things like "men don't deserve rights" or even taking away their own rights in the process. I.E "men don't deserve to smell our beauty #NoEqualityNoShower"
Feminism means to raise female rights to men's, so you're equivalently saying "why should literally anyone care about women?"
Answer it OP, I want to know
hrmm well seeing as you only 2 options if I had to be I think I would choose male feminist as I think my gender probably identifies me better then my sexuality does.
I don't know either.
liberal or radical feminist?
If you're not a woman you shouldn't call yourself a feminist OP. Women are tired of men forcing themselves in to their organizations and acting like something isn't legitimate until men get involved. Feminism doesn't need you. If you need to call yourself something the term 'ally' works.
I'm actually both liberal and a radical feminist but if you're asking generally then no, I'm not a liberal feminist. radical.
Good job on not answering my question turbofaggot
do you like walking across the top of grassy mountains?
It's quite obvious why we should care about women. I'm sorry if you can't tell why.
I find it more relaxing to just sit up there and watch the view. Never been a hiker, which is why getting up there is kind of an issue
What rights do men have that women don't?
Why do you hate yourself?
Are you born with a fishmouth or did your mouth reform itself throughout the process of becoming a feminist?
Oh I understand completely why women are important.
Survival of the species and whatnot.
But my question wasn't whether or not people should care about women, it was whether or not people should care about both yourself and feminism.
Equal rights between men and women already exists throughout the world. The only thing you, a man, will accomplish by associating yourself with feminism is you'll find out exactly how the underside of their boots taste.
When it comes to rights? Nothing. Of course rights do mean "a moral or legal entitlement to have or obtain something or to act in a certain way." And legally yes, we're equal. But it never matters what it legally is because ultimately that's not what is going to control society.
You'll always here people say "stupid women driver!" Weather or not you consider this a problem or even care about this it IS undeniable sexism. Maybe this alone isn't an issue, its not really going to damage anything. However, it is underlying proof of what our culture thinks of women, and of course - the way our culture thinks ultimately depicts the way we act. That's where it becomes an issue.
In contrast to this you'll also probably hear women say a lot as well "Men are more aggressive drivers then women" And again, same principle here. This acts as underlying proof of what our culture thinks of men.
Lets look at the keywords here:
>men are more aggressive
>stupid women
It is well known gender stereotypes that women are more unintelligent then men. And that men are more aggressive then women. You could then say that sexism goes both ways in our culture, and I completely agree though it is lopsided. As for aggressiveness, well which would you rather be aggressive or stupid? (I think you know) but despite even this, in our culture it's glorified to be aggressive because it's "manly".
But to the point - How does our cultures mindset actually effect how the genders are treated?
Well as I said both women and men have it both legal rights thus legal opportunities!
And women have been taking these opportunities as well, I.E - statistically there are more women in college then men. Now why might that be? Women just took the legal opportunity they have here, because men had a non-law opportunity. You see most men don't have to go to college to easily get a job as a construction worker and make over minimum wage
I don't. thus I can't answer.
no bites. well done everybody.
Why havent killed yourself yet?
I can see your beta overweight ass from here
What's it like knowing that even though you're on the same side, Emma Watson and all the other feminazis will still find you repulsive because you have a penis?
hrmm I wouldn't know because I don't have a fish mouth. However I believe the answer for feminist with fish mouths would be number 2 - their mouth reformed itself throughout the process of becoming a feminist. I think this would be the case because if you even look at tumblr-feminist like in that picture they all have common qualities - dyed her, glasses, skin covering. Perhaps some can be mistaken for emo. The group even attracts some chubby females. (Basically anything but girly) this is because those feminist are trying to demolish and strip themselves of anything that can be defined "girly" so they can demolish gender roles. Anyway, its probably the same principle with fish mouths, looking unattractive.
Do you really really hate TERFs??
(Trans-exclusive radical feminists)??? >>:((((
Well realistically they wont. But besides that if your referring to typical tumblr feminist then I don't even consider them on the same side as me.
Not quite sure what that is. Please enlighten me a little
some things I can agree with, but I don't agree with the "non-law opportunity" stuff. In my Job (IT) i work with a lot of women (cause customer service) and some of them are just dumb people.
Of course the same amount with men. I think the clichè that men are agressive and women dumb comes from the fact that men use to project their mistakes on other people often times. And this is based on the fact that men are under a lot of pressure, so failing is not an option often times. So they tend to get agressive when failing.
Women tend to reflect more and admit mistakes more opently, but it is also more accepted.
The women i have to work with have all good sounding jobs without have to study anything really.
I think it is very dependant on country, ethnics and industry.
There is no country, no industry and no ethnic group where you can apply the same principles.
What we really need is to drive the dicussion away from unimportant topics like sayings (bad woman driver) or bad language. These will always be sexist, unfair and whatnot.
We need to look at the individuals and decide then if something was sexist or not
I took it from some tumblr user. I assume it's a feminist movement excluding support for transexuals (basically shading them off and focusing just on gays and women, i thinhk??)
Oh no, it's retarded
Oh. Well then to basically answer your question:
I just hate transgenders.
Oh don't get me wrong I fully well know you were trying to imply there isn't straight males who are feminist. It's just that you're wrong so I couldn't answer with considerable seriousness.
How do you define feminism?
"the advocacy of women's rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men." Token from google, but this pretty much sums up how I define it.
what do you actively do each day to improve the rights of women worldwide OP?
Oh me alone? Advocate the idea. Which doesn't sound a lot to you I'm sure but ultimately its the first step to anything. Sure there is actual work to be done but it's not like that's ever going to be done without this. The world isn't ready for that yet.
What's it like knowing that no matter what you do, nobody will like you? Men think you're a wimp who's worth nothing, women think you're either creepy or gay (or both) and you said yourself that you hate anyone outside of those categories.
name me a right men have that women dont.
may i ask how?
have you ever had the opportunity to advocate the idea to any one who was in your opinion, in need of it? how did that go?
whats your plan for the future?
do you Like Marina and the Diamonds
I did? would you like to elaborate with me on where, and how exactly I explained that?
Never listened to them, don't know
>Basically, I hate transgenders
What is your problem with gender equality? Do you also classify certain races superior? Or is it just limited to other things you're born into.
A Humanist.
Oh I see. Well I would like to think of it more complex then black and white. but anyway, to answer your question, I don't really know what it's like.
>how
how exactly do you advocate the idea on a daily basis and to who?
the same way anyone advocates anything they support - by simply discussing and talking about it.
with who and how often?
have you 'converted' anyone yet?
Anyone. My family, my friends. How often? Whenever I deem it relevant or necessary - OR similar to how people talk about politics and who their supporting.
Have I got anyone else into feminism? Yes a couple of people I know. Feminism is very radical so its hard for people to grasp. I've definitely got skeptical people to understand it. But as for people who are against feminism prior I don't think I'll ever convince them. And really why would I? Their way to busy trying to convince me.
I guess what I am trying to tell you is that
you dont do shit, you aint a feminist
you're just a raging faggot and should fucking man the fuck up you wierd little girl.
you dont do anything towards the equality of women across the globe you just moan about 'how you're a feminist' to real people every now and then. pathetic. talking with yoor family and friends does not stop clits being cut off in the middle east...
your kind has done more damage than it will ever do good.
fuck you pal
Oh hahaha. I guess my diplomacy finally made you crack.
i just wanted some information on what you 'think' you are doing for women before i called you a cunt
we both knew it was inevitable from the get go
you will never be able to make a man crack you little poof
Another feminist here. The most major difference I can think of is in wage gap as well as employment opportunities.

Also just the way that women are perceived by society is way out of line. Read up on "Male Gaze". It may sound like some random phrase that some tumblr feminist is going to throw around, but it's extremely well researched and well documented. Some nice articles about it on scholar.google.com
>male gaze
kys wage gap is a myth
and yes, men stare at women
some of them for too long and too hard sure but that does not justify little creeps like you or him
swarming the rest of us with you feminist bullshit
>Garbage from Sup Forums is dumped here
what are you doing here?
It's not about men staring at women. It's the way they're portrayed in design and mass media. (Animation and media student, so we have to study film theory). I don't have a problem with people checking chicks out, of course we all do it. It's more the fact that women are almost always just sexual objects on the screen
what a surprise
If the pay gap was true, why doesn't companies only hire women to do the work?
We live in a capitalistic society you know. And if a company could get away with paying 77% of what they usually pay they will. Yet they do not. Esplain.
Can you kill yourself?
pretentious welsh skank
Why do you hate your own existence?
You're in denial of biology, religion, culture, society and above all objectivity. This is basically what's called an 'identity crisis'.
You're aiming to cripple the future for mankind.
Just tie the knot and get it over with.
no thanks
thats egalitarianism, moron.
feminism is putting females above males. liberals will bend and twist any word to get there way and silence people, using like "racist" and "bigot".
Not directly no, you cracked yourself.
Anyway you did decide to make your motivations clear, and I can tell that arguing with you is admissible. I will say this however - The first step to anything is getting it's attention on it.
>your family and friends does not stop clits being cut off in the middle east
Immediately? No it doesn't. Is it alone effective? No its not. And I don't care. Its not like I'm going to single handily stop that anyway. But as I said its the first step to change. Individuals rooting for feminism means more individuals which means more overall support. If everyone was for feminism there's no way our government wouldn't make a move. But hey as I said I don't think me individually is going to effect much. That' why its a collective. But its the same with people rooting for politicians - what do they do? simply talk about them. perhaps donations, and 'converting' people. (Again individual acts) I think you should know how it works.
Anyway I hope that makes it clearer for you, cya.
What feminists fail to grasp is that there is a similar way men are portrayed in design and mass media. You're just to stupid to understand we are both getting fucked over. Yet if I broach the subject I always get told to "stop mansplaining" and "why does it always have to be about YOUR gender!?".
Fucking dimwits.
sex sells
sexy men too
whats your fucking point?
what you are saying does not just apply to women
Hiring only women doesn't make it equal, it makes women superior, which is not what feminism is about at all. And yes, the wage gap seems extreme, but it is VERY well documented and studied as well. Those websites I linked earlier with the wage gap statistics were the department of labor annual stats for 2014. They very strongly show the trends in pay.
Are you deliberately trying to misread what I wrote?
Read my text again then answer.
How does it feel like being in a movement whose people shout rape at anything they believe its wrong but at the same time raped the real feminists ideals, since you guys changed them without their consent?
thanks for typing out what i already knew you dumb fuck.
basically a didn't read.
you dont do anything do you... your a fucking joke mate. just like the rest of em.
you had your little wave last year remember?
isn't that exactly what you are describing kek
look how that turned out you absolute melt of a man.
feel sorry for you bro, go for a nice long walk and shake this pathetic little phase you are going through off.
either that or GTFO
Not a feminist but OP is right here.
>wage gap meme
Every time
Also; checkem
>it makes women superior, which is not what feminism is about at all
That may be what femz say, but it's not how they act. They want to be completely superior.
how the fuck would you personally know if its
very well documented?
fucking idiot
OP here. I do understand we're both getting fucked over. Perhaps a different amount but ultimately its bad for society as a whole. That's why I want gender roles gone.
"mansplaining" is a dumb concept and I'm not going to use that. Also men just straight up aren't protrayed like that. It's simply not true. There are definite occasional circumstances where men are to be looked at sexually, though it's nothing compared to the fact that the sheer majority of women's time on screen is to look sexy.
Yes it very much does sell. That doesn't make it not an issue. Men are seen as strong, and heroic. Almost always the protagonist of the film. Very often aim to either woo a female, or save a female. Usually to try get with her.
Feminist cunt
I find the thought of those kinds of people just as disturbing as the thought of any stupid person
because thats how life works?
the fuck would i want to see a film with a chick saving a load of girly european queers like you?
you guys are trying to change the very fabric of life with your insanity and whining
its not going to happen mate. never
The whole reason women are payed less is because people think their weaker and less intelligent. So why exactly would they start hiring women even if they did think they could get away with it?
Edgy
We don't HAVE to get rid of gender roles to stop getting fucked over in the media.
We only have to assertively say STOP, all of us. Gender roles are a good thing. They give us purpose and meaning. It's worked out well for us during our 200.000 year long history as Homo Sapiens Sapiens.
Why in the fuck are you trying to fix something that ain't fucking broke?
I supplied statistics that quite reasonably verify its existence. Can you counter it with your own?
men ARE strong and heroic. just because you are not does NOT give you the right to try and fuck with people who are
ITT: hypocritical people fight for "equality"
Well since I'm a guy, it would be rather stupid of me to want the other gender to be in a better position than myself. I don't speak for all people who call themself feminist though
Do you have more wallpapers like that?
...
thats not true tho.
its to do with hours worked, type of job etc
not what ever drivel you are offering today
>gender roles give us purpose and meaning
Why is that purpose and meaning separated between men and women, that's what I'm saying.
They are not weaker, and they are not less intelligent. There are individuals that are weaker and individuals that are less intelligent; of both sexes. Right? Follow me so far?
I'm proving with this simple thought experiment that the wage gap is a fucking myth easily explainable by occupation and hours worked.
Companies don't hire exclusively women and pay them less because it's simply not true that they earn less than their male counterparts working the same job.
