Has the Feminist movement created an inequlity for men?

Question

Now beofre you start in on me let me just say, I am all about equality. I just wonder has it gone to far. To me it seems that sometimes the fem movement is about equality when it is convenient. If a man is less qualified than a woman than she should get the job but what about if they are equal or if she is less qualified. She still gets the job. Why? Why do I have to walk on egg-shells to avoid being canned for someone elses thin skin when in turn if a woman does or says something to me I should just "Man up!". I mean it just seems that nowadays men are being subjegated. Why can't we be truely equal. Some feminists even beleive that women are supperior to men. That they are less prone to violence, thet they are morally superior, and that all men are the more primitive demographic. There where matriarichal societies and they still had war, there are plenty of women that lack a moral compass, and just as many women sucumb to their baser instincts. What am I missing?

Answer 1

Are you kidding? Women always get the shaft. You know it's true.

Answer 2

Women don't believe any of that (being morally superior), they just push that angle because they fear having to actually compete with men on an even field and ultimately being determined as inferior.

Look at this:

Pookie-

"Women are very much under-represented in positions of decision making/management in the private and public sector. Many governments acknowledge this employment trend, and so efforts have been made to bring balance to the workforce."

That's your initiative? 'Women are underrepresented' ? SO that of course means that we should first rectify that, then ask questions about qualifications (and trivial things along that theme) later on, right? Ridiculous.

Answer 3

You are totally right man

i support everyword you said

god bless you!

Answer 4

ok so now men r  asking for equality?!...haha good one

Answer 5

I see where you are coming from- but you miss the mark just slightly. The feminist movement has changed the rules of the game, no doubt about it- it is now morally permissible for a female to be an aggressive and ambitious go-getter while men who choose to be compassionate and nurturing are seen as weak and inferior. But the thing that you're missing is that it is men that need to keep up. Feminism changed gender roles, and men haven't changed with them. There has been a drive to empower women with the same cultural influence of men, but there has not been the drive to ascribe to men the cultural influence of a caregiver- or anything but a decent but absentee father and a bacon-fetcher. Don't go around blaming women or feminism about that- it isn't their responsibility, it's yours. Whether people like it or not, being forced into the position of a dominant alpha-dog male has its perks but it also has its downfalls- it simply does not allow men to be human. My suggestion to you: Go be human! No one is stopping you, and if constrained gender roles impede your path from who you are to who you want to be, then there is no one responsible but you for tearing down those gender roles, leaving skid marks on the road, and never looking back at the hollow shell that was once passed off as manhood.

I agree. You have to be careful what you say around girls but we're never careful with what we say to guys because we assume everything's okay with them.

Some women get offended when called a girl (because it implies immaturity), lady (it implies class is everything), ma'am (suggests she is old), woman (because being a woman shouldn't mean anything) & tramp (implies she has s*x for money). But guys get called everything and don't complain. If they did women would say "Be a man and suck it up!"

Double standards are never okay.

Answer 7

Radical feminists disgust me too ... many times they tend to put women above men ... men are above yet women are equal to men ( if that makes sense to you ) ... equality is good without a doubt but it can also cause consequences due it it's " gender neutrality " ... men are men and need to express their masculinity or manhood ( in a good and healthy way ) and women are suppose to be feminine and need to express their femininity ( in a submissive yet strong way )

Answer 8

femenists are evil demons,that's why they mention equality they women are disavantaged but when men are disavantaged,those evil creatures never say anything.

I guess you heard of the case when a girl wanted to join a boyscouts,guess what? they fought for her until she got in.,but there is another case when the guy wanted to join a woman's gym,Where were those dragons? nowhere because they

don't believe in equality believe in female supremacy.

sorry dude but they have created an inequalty for men.

Answer 9

Geeze get an education, learn the language; that was a horrible excuse for even a misogynist rant.

Answer 10

Affirmative action has created inequities, but luckily for all of us, it's going out of style.

"Man up!" is something feminists are less likely than anyone to say.

If a self-proclaimed feminist believes that women and men are anything but equal, she's not really a feminist.

Answer 11

It's a little difficult to decipher what exactly you are asking in your question. I can therefore only answer the one question that was clear  - "If a man is less qualified than a woman than she should get the job but what about if they are equal or if she is less qualified. She still gets the job. Why?"

If you've spent any reasonable period of time here, you will surely have noticed some of the anti-feminists' opinions about women. They'll say things like:

- "A woman's brain is smaller than a man's, Therefore they aren't as intellectual as men"

- "Women are to blame for economic hardship both on family and national levels"

- "Women are incompetent in the area's of science and maths (even though more and more women are studying and achieving higher averages than men at university in those fields), so they should stick to more "nurturing" type positions"

They are only three examples. Now, if any man with this type of attitude was in a position of recruitment, and was faced with the decision to employ a male or female with comparable experience, education, personality etc, 9 times out of 10, (if he's being generous) he will employ the man.

Women are very much under-represented in positions of decision making/management in the private and public sector. Many governments acknowledge this employment trend, and so efforts have been made to bring balance to the workforce.

If your daughter or sister was to apply for a job in a male dominated field and the fact that she's a woman will automatically bring her chances down of getting the job, when clearly, she should have -( based on experience etc) wouldn't you want something in place to rectify this discrimination?

You ask "why should she get the job"? I say "because historically, her v****a has been deemed as an anatomical disadvantage in the workplace." Why the h**l SHOULDN'T she get the job?
