Question

How does women's rights emasculate men like some people on here, both men and a few women keep saying?

Answer 1

Probably because feminists thing equality equates to making men inferior.

Answer 2

seriously?

Answer 3

by making laws that we do not dare speak out or it is domestic violence and punishable under law. This seems to be a new idea forged in this century and is slowly spreading from country to country. Sure its aims is to try and stop domestic violence before it can start by making even a disagreement a factor but it goes to far.

i suppose a few do not get what im saying lol, what i mean is through these laws and even here with the thumbs down you are trying to shut us up, you do not want us to speak out or even disagree with what you are doing even though it is effecting us....... you want us to turn a blind eye and take it like a man, but who is to say just what a man is.......... you!

in this you are in-fact making us even more so your enemy and eventually it will all blow up in your faces.

Answer 4

It only "emasculates" the men whose manhood wasn't affixed very well in the first place.

Answer 5

It doesn't.  If they feel that it does, they must not have been at all secure in their masculinity in the first place.

Answer 6

Only men who feel threatened by women are saying they have been 'emasculated'  Most of the men I know are still men- and they support EVERYONE in having rights.  I don't see how having equal rights would make anyone lose their identity.

Answer 7

I don't think anyone here has a problem with women having the same rights as men

some concerns re emasculating would be

the effect that the media has on young minds, men being portrayed as idiots with domineering wives

men losing their right to verbally defend themselves in a domestic, shout back and risk jail

young males being medicated because male exuberance is now "bad"

all men receive the men are rapists/abusers message and have done for decades now

males who see any of these things as a problem are shamed in various ways, just read some of the answers you have got.

Personally, i couldn't care less how much a woman makes, i don't remember a time when women weren't equal, so why would i be "threatened" by equal rights?

Womans rights do not emasculate men but the feminist agenda does appear to want to. I'm an English teacher. You wouldn't believe the lengths that the authors of our books have gone to feminize men.

Answer 8

How could it? Politics don't affect anybody's age, chromosomes, or genital shape.

Answer 9

They make things better. When one is equal  all are better for it. I'm a man but I'm for women's rights.

Answer 10

Humanism and feminism "emasculates" only those men who derived their "masculinity" from the oppression of others.  When they are no longer allowed to freely oppress others, exploiters ALWAYS whine that their "rights" to exploit others have been violated.  lol.  And, anyone who can read more than the package insert for a video game knows it wasn't women who "emasculated" men.

Not women but industrialists waged huge campaigns of propaganda to shame and emasculate and brainwash men to leave their self-sufficient, pedestrian "caveman" lives in rural areas and move to urban areas to become wage-slaves in factories, mines and industry and hook-up to the consumerism "work and shop until you drop", more-more-more, "energy-in and energy-out", "I WANT A HUMVEE!!!!!!",  "I WANT IT ALLLLLLLL"! tribal rat-race Matrix nightmare of average working men's lives today and near peasant-class financial/credit chronic status of powerlessness.

I collect diaries, posters and books about that era of commercial propaganda because it proved to be the most successful propaganda agenda in history.  In 1900, 95% of men lived in rural areas.  Today, 95% live in urban areas in morbid non-pedestrian suburban communities without traditional extended family (as has been traditional and supportive of families), totally dependent on massive obscene monstrosities called autos and trucks AND the fuel required to run those vehicles if one wants to be able to make a living in non-pedestrian communities.  Everything about our way of life changed due to the Industrial Revolution and greedy industrialists tweaking laws and the economy to force women into the labor force  as even cheaper labor than men.  Yet, there are boys today so stupid and weak and self-emasculated that they blame the bogeyman "feminist" for "emasculating them rather than grow a brain or a truly "masculine" backbone.  lol  

Such ignorant levels of thinking mean trouble.  One cannot remain free unless rational.  In light of how OBVIOUSLY exploited and screwed workers are by an oligarchy that means us all harm, for men to choose as their battle of honor instead to be to d**k around in immature and ignorant La-La Land blaming working voting women as bogeymen for their own lack of self-rising into greater awareness rather than rise into adult rationality and deal with bigger perspectives than gonadal/gender/tribal consciousness is truly an extraordinarily successful outcome of those 20th century emasculation campaigns to make men stupid sheep, that's for sure.  I mean, is anyone having fun at the gas pump anymore?  Are you going to be able to feed your family if food prices quadruple SOON and possibly overnight?  Are you going to be able to keep your home in the recession?  Hard times are coming, harder for people who buy into whatever high school-level flame war's going on, who "blame" mommy and girls rather than grow a brain, stay informed of "reality" (life is not a video game) and get rational, traits of TRUE masculinity.

Anti-feminists, misogynists and any guy with a chip on his shoulder about women are the most ego-self-emasculated men among men.  Deep down, they don't think they can "cut it" on the boy's court so they choose to make their battle with women, and THEN get their knickers in a knot when they find out women got equal rights about a hundred years ago and aren't the weak uneducated women their mother's and other female relatives were.  That's well known in health care sciences.  Their "emasculation" problem was present long before they started blaming women for "emasculating" them. lol

Click on this image when it opens to enlarge.  It's an tame example of that propaganda campaign's level of sophistication at dumbing-down, emasculating and wage-slaving men to replace the freed Black slave workforce that Industrialists needed.

Here are writing samples of ordinary men back during the Civil War.  Note the level of critical-thinking, logic, writing, grammer, spelling and subject.  Even ordinary school boys, not just the priviledged class, were composing lucid essays.  Today, 86% of males entering college cannot compose an acceptable essay.  What caused that dumbing-down?  Hairy-legged feminists?  lmao.

Answer 11

it doesn't, they do it to themselves

Answer 12

I'm shocked.  I thought men and women were equal all this time.

Answer 13

Some people only believe one gender can be "superior" so if men aren't the "top dog" then women would be. They don't believe power can be shared among men so how could it be shared among women and men? To them equality really does mean superiority-they only believe in hierarchies and fear anything else and label it socialist or communist or fascist.

Answer 14

A man's natural role is to be the provider and protector; feminism has taken away that role, leaving many men confused between their biology and a feminised society.

Answer 15

Because they feel any gain for a woman is a loss for man. They are blind to the inequality that is so rampant.

Answer 16

There is nothing wrong with women having the same rights as men. In the long run it might prove a great benifit to society.

The problem exist in the fact that local,state and federal goverments have given women extra ultra rights. That in turn is slowly putting female citizens in a first class situation while pulling male citizens down towards a second class situation.

PFA's are used more often than not as a tool to steal a guys home or a co-owned home instead of as a means of last resort in a violent situation.

The goverment spends over 400 million annually for womens health issue's, while spending only 200 million annually on mens health issue's.

Alimony, women tend to get it way too easily and for far too long. Same with child support.

The courts are quick to punish "dead beat dads" who are delinquint on there payments but ignore when the mother interfere's with visitation or commits parental alienation.

(Side note only 10% of non custodial dads are behind on there child support and most of them is because they cant afford it without starving to death, while 40% of non custodial mothers are deliquent on child support and the common reason is because they dont feel they should have to pay it...wonder who the real deadbeat is?)

And the whole Paternity fraud thing. The courts in many states have ordered guys that where conned into believeing the kid was theres then there wives left them to pay child support because they missed an arbitrary two year mark.

California's former Govenor Davis vetoed a law that would free victims of paternity fraud and there famlys because it would cost 40 million in federal grants because of the loss in child support(the federal goverment gives money to the state based upon how much child support they collect)

That is how the women's misandry movement has emasculated men. By turning us into nothing more than ATM machines in the eye's of the law.

------------------

Any person who would feel threatened about a women doing a better job needs to grow up. If your that worried study how they do there job better, learn how to do it yourself then improve upon it. Basic capitalism.

Answer 17

Buddy, you've asked this question a heap of times but you just change the words around. You have to be blind if you don't see the effect of feminism is emasculating boys more so than men. Because of feminists form of, i guess you could say propaganda, boys feel left out of place. In Australia, campaigns are saying Girls Can Do Anything. The government here boosts up girls confidence yet boys are the ones who are instead of being given a few empowering words they are just labelled with ADHD and put aside. This is a form of misguided childhood and everywhere i go i can see it. Why don't you care that boys are being raised in this way? If i don't make sense, research it.

EDIT: Tasha, you are clearly misinformed and in your own little world. I explained WHY feminists are behind it, it's because of feminists on the media having their say of what is right and wrong. It's ridculous how small minded women like you see their is no issue about the childhood of boys. You really need to get your head out of the dirt. Male role models? They exist and are fairly common, although their are alot more negative influences out there that easily out weigh and shadow male role models.

How about we start with the education? Boys were succeeding 20 years ago, now? Today a sum of girls have better marks than boys, and why you might ask? Because feminism changed the education system, go look it up because i'm not going to delve into it anymore.

The media, you only see men commiting crimes, men shown as dumb as dog S**t, dirty, doing stupid things, sexual obessors. Jackass, dirty sanchez, the dudesons, wildboyz, viva la bam, dr steve-o, king of queens, yes dear, how i met your mother, every body loves raymond and the list goes on. It's ridiculous and it is even more evident in movies. Feminism isn't exactly to blame but it plays a huge role in sending the wrong message.

When i say white your just going to say black so lets agree to disagree.

Answer 18

"I'm shocked. I thought men and women were equal all this time." - Hello

Politically they are.  Economically and socially is a different story.  Financially, men tend to make more money for whatever reasons there might be.  Yet, women and men have different roles in the society and except for when it comes to money, it's kind of hard to measure where in the social hierarchy men and women stay.  It seems to me that both have two completely different roles in society because both tend to have natural resources that the other party wants.

As for how women's rights emasculating men, in theory that shouldn't happen.  So long as men don't lose their rights, then no one is being emasculated.

Answer 19

“Needsmuchhelp27” still didn’t answer the question. I think she would like to know (in limens terms) hows is having our rights as women respected taking away from your rights as a man?  How does respecting us a people emasculate you as a man? And how does respecting our rights threaten yours?

Now I sort of agree with Liz M. Most men do feel threatened by a woman that is able to do their job better than most men.  But it doesn’t mean that you should sit tight and listen to sexiest jokes and sexually suggestive cementation with out speaking out against it. Within my work center that sort of behavior is not tolerated from either s*x. And it’s put to a halt before it even get’s started. It’s not about suppression of your goals to advance in your career to make them happy, it’s about standing up for yourself, speaking out against what you don’t approve of, and letting it be known that you will take further steps to solve the problems if you don’t’ get the assistance you’re seeking from upper management.  They only make these jokes and comments as a means to keep you uncomfortable with stepping outside of your comfort zone and proving them wrong. Let no one bully you with words into suppression.

Keith, if you’re a man that is being abused by your significant other my deepest apologies and heart felt sympathy goes out too you. And I pray that you seek the assistance needed to take yourself out of the equation of abuse. But I do have a question for you, since you feel so passionate about these laws that you feel is suppressing your opinion and voice against domestic violence. What law do you speak of that prohibits you (as a man) from speaking out against domestic violence? When I worked as an Advocate, the last time I checked everyone (men and women) can be both affected and protected by the laws that govern domestic violence. Please give examples of how this “law” goes too far. What exactly is it that people are trying to “shut you up” from speaking out on?

Liam, correction, feminism was not created to emasculate a man. It was created to give women the rights to chose a career field of employment, to chose to carry a mans last name, to chose to have a child or not. Feminism was a way of women giving themselves the rights that many men believed they shouldn’t have.  And many fathers do have paternal rights. But only the one’s who chose to exercise them and act upon them. Some men (Not all) don’t really care about them, because they where never there for the child(ren) to begin with.

SP, NO one is trying to make men inferior. Get over it! The only thing we’re asking for is the recognition as a human being, not as a baby making machine, a trophy wife or sexual object. Feminist are not working around the clock on capital hill to take away your rights as a man and make you the inferior species.

W3ST SID3, you’re really not making sense. The only one that understands your ranting is the many men who think like you and yourself. Let me explain something too you, feminist are not the one’s neglecting little boys.  Show me how feminist are behind young boys and girls being diagnosed with ADHD? The campaign slogans of “Girls can do anything” is a means of showing girls that they don’t have to give into the views (of many men like you) when it comes to our capabilities and who we are as people. It’s to show girls that they can wait till marriage before becoming sexually active, they can obtain degree’s that's considered traditionally male, and they can accomplish anything in life if they put their minds too it. It’s not to push boys off to the side, and it’s not to make boys feel as though they’re worthless. Young boys have always had positive roll models to look up too, so these campaigns where foraged to give girls the same opportunity to see the positive side of becoming a woman.  Boys have always received empowering words of encouragement from some of their superstar heroes, it wasn’t until recently that girls have start to have women they can look up to.

And last to Char-Curves and Curls, feminism hasn’t taken away any roles from anyone. Men are confused as far as their natural roles as the provider and protector is concerned because a lot of them chose not to assume those roles. Anytime a man can father a child and leave them behind without a single thought or care in the world then he has no idea of what the word responsibility really means. Feminist have nothing to do with a man deciding to leave his family behind, or assume the role as father/husband. Any man that takes on these roles I ( and many other women) tip my hat of to him.

Answer 20

They no longer necessarily have the role of 'provider'. Women are not completely reliant on them. This may be seen by some men as 'emasculation'. Other men, who are not dependent on gender roles for validation, will not feel emasculated by women providing for themselves.

Women not taking a man's name upon marriage may be seen as another example of 'emasculation' by some men. Traditionally women have been seen as men's property and hence took the man's name upon marriage. Having a wife and family was a sign of status. If a man cannot force his name upon a woman and their children, what is he?

Of course men have also lost the right to rape their wives, which may be seen by some as being emasculating.

Answer 21

women's rights don't emasculate men.men feel emasculated by women being treated with respect and having their rights respected.

when the rights of one are threatened then the rights of all are diminished ... or however it goes

but basically every ones right need to be recognized.and anyone saying otherwise if full of sexist S&#T

Answer 22

men are fine with women having rights as long as they don't become more powerful or knowledgeable than them. i work with all men and i listen to idiotic sexist comments and sexual jokes all day long. i guarantee im smarter than and could run the business better than all of them. but i don't let them know that because i don't want my position jeopardized. we have to act dumber than them because they still have all the power and if they suspect we could do a better job, they will do everything in their power to put that to a halt quickly. you must remember that the male species is a simple creature, easily manipulated and incapable of complex thought due to the interference of an overblown ego. ironically, this ego is incredibly fragile and easily destroyed with a few simple words. men run their lives based on what women think. if you don't believe me check out the "men's health" questions on here, it's nothing but how their ***** don't work right.

play the game well and you will come out on top. although you will never achieve glory, you may have more wealth, status and power than your male counterparts. stay under the radar.

"who cares if men have their faces on money as long as we have our hands on it?"

:)

Answer 23

The men who say this are insecure for one reason or another. Most men don't really care what women think as long as they can find at least one fairly attractive one who will be married to them without making their lives miserable. But men who have been routinely rejected by women and/or a pattern of interpersonal relationships with similarly unbalanced females will tend to develop a tendency to see women making challenging affronts to their manliness at every turn.

Answer 24

Well equality is all about breaking down the differences in gender, which means the point of equality is to get rid of the idea of 'masculine' and 'feminine'. Taking away masculinity from a man is called 'emasculation'. In that sense, i'm not suprised people talk about feminism emasculating men, that is the whole point.

But, the word emasculate is more commonly used to mean a mans freedom is being infringed, which is true in some areas of society, the main example being the fact that fathers rights do not mean as much as they used to.
