Question

What does feminism hope to gain by promoting misandry (fear or hate of men and boys)?

Answer 1

jeeez!  u seemed to be obsessed with this feminism bullsh!t.

Feminism isnt ment to be like that.

Answer 2

Celtish, you're turning into Cassius. Stop now before it's too late and there is no point of sanity to which you can return.

Answer 3

FEMINISM = EQUALITY...

...women treated EQAUL to men, NOT women treated better than men. Real feminists are not supposed to hate men at all?

Answer 4

Very few feminists promote misandry, and those who do are from the older generation. Marilyn French, for example, felt that she'd been hurt by men throughout her life, and that this had marked her so that she'd never again be able to see any man in a positive light, even if he was a wonderful person. Things have changed since then.

Answer 5

Nothing really.  They can't help it, hate is irrational.

Answer 6

Ad hominum and Straw Man! Wow quite and accomplishment you have there in your argument- Both arguing against the people rather than their argument AND misunderstanding their argument and misrepresenting it.

Feminists arguments are based on tu quoque, and when it comes to law that is rightly so. (You have it this way... so should I)

Perhaps you should learn how to make an argument and question that isn't so easily pulled apart by an A level student.

Answer 7

Feminism is about equality between men and women.  Promoting misandry is not the goal of feminism.

It's kinda like religious zealots - every organized group has a faction of whack-jobs that take a good idea and turn it into something sick and unrecognizable...

Answer 8

Please, tell me, how are feminist today promoting misandry (fear and hate of men and boys)? What actions have they taken lately that would lead you to draw this conclusion?

Answer 9

They hope to make a world that is devoid of any straight-thinking men who have the guts to put a stop to there misandrist ways. An Amazonian Utopia, in short.

Answer 10

I really don't think that this was the original intention of the feminist movement, but you know what? I think they just couldn't help themselves. But of course we are not supposed to notice the vitriol, though it is totally obvious.

@ Rio - LOL! Can you say 'in denial'?

Answer 11

You are living on parnet I do not think. I am a man. I have worked with children when I was young, and as a professional auto mechanic. I now hold a degree in electronics and work in that Field. The time I spent working with children in day care centers made me a better parent. Not only for my children,but for my children's friends as well. We need to feel more better about our selves as men before we ask questions about women. Stop looking at Feminism as a group of people that Hate any one. In every group their are going to be some people that are extreme.

Answer 12

What does anti-feminism hope to gain by pretending that feminists promote misandry?

JIM: Misandrists promote misandry; feminists promote feminism; the two are incompatible.
