Why do I see so many questions that disrespect feminists and none that disrespect men's groups?

Question

If you read my answers you will know all about my wife and my family, my two daughters. Possibly you don't think that a man can think more openly than you do. As a man, I feel protective about the women who are constantly debased on this Forum. It makes me angry.

Answer 1

We only disrespect the blatantly disrespectful men's groups.

Answer 2

Well said and as for celtish he was annoying and  me at one time.  Obviously some people have too much time on their hands.

Answer 3

I'm very disappointed by the level of hatred that so many men seem to harbor towards women.  I'm not sure what happened to them and I fear about what will happen in the future with these men.  I think that in order to have a successful society both sexes are respected.  I agree with you about this constant battle about what equality means.  It makes for some ridiculous points.  Good luck in raising your daugther to be proud, athletic, intelligent and successful young women.

Answer 4

Thank you.   But they don't see that they have a problem and anything they write, sprout, etc is fine.  I disagree with Flyinghorse they do know what feminism is because we tell them day after day.    They refuse to listen.   [Those that are coming off a failed relationship probably refused to listen to their spouses when they said "somethings wrong"].

Answer 5

The reason why men's groups are not as popular is because men had a head start in human rights, women were lagging. Of course the group that had and sometimes still retain more privileges will have fewer protest/rights groups. That is common sense. And the reason why there are questions here that are so rude and trollish is because 1. The person is a troll or/and 2. An ignorant male thinking he's being funny/intelligent. I bet those trolls wouldn't say 99 percent of the things they type on the internet about women to a woman's face in real life.. the internet is where trolls breed, they come out at night full of false bravado knowing no one knows them. Until their mom happens to come across their web history and then they'll get it.

And looking at the number of thumbs down, you can guess it's the same trolls who create clones to give those thumbs down.. they sure do have a lot of time.

Answer 6

Thank you, this is wonderful for a change in this category.

I find, that the reason is just to attract attention. There is a lot of misinformation about what a feminist is, besides there are many different trends of thinking. But, still ALL of them are put into a little box.

In here at the end who cares, it matters what we are really doing outside of this forum, and many are doing that, especially concerning Global Feminism.

Yes, REAL life is what matters after all, not about some few private opinions in here, as annoying as they can be ;-)

Answer 7

Because you are looking for them.

As a man I "know" every woman from 1 to 100 feels she has a God given qualification and right to nag me narrow. Whereas if I utter the slightest criticism back I get alll the "ists" and "isms" on my case immediately.

Answer 8

Men have been scrutinized by women for so long, that there really isn't any point in having women disrespect men's groups, although I'm sure many of them do in some other forum besides yahoo answers. Many women think we have it better than they do in every aspect of life, and that just isn't the case.

Answer 9

Men groups such as ?

Answer 10

It's cause we get a bigger reaction disrespecting the feminists.

Answer 11

This must be a joke.

Answer 12

Some men need to 'assert' their masculinity by surreptitiously posting answers using the pusillanimous expedient of anonymity that comes with the sanctuary of being a troll in any guise, other than that of an identifiable person, or a real man.

Answer 13

While I could not possibly hope to cover all the reasons why, I do have a few theories:

1. Most of these questions are asked either by teenage boys, or those with the equivalent maturity. They know that they can post items on here, and revel in the relative anonymity the site provides. They can state things on here that they would not dream of saying to anyone in the real world

2. The "Fun" factor -  the knowledge that a few posters on here will predictably rise to the bait that is dangled in front of them

3. Most legitimate mens "groups" are about building individual self esteem and not about challenging individual perceptions. In other words they do not tell you that you are wrong for thinking a certain way.

4. The name of the forum "Gender and Women's Studies" places an undue emphasis on the rights of women over men. Simply by changing the name to Gender Studies we may see a more reasonable discourse from some.

Answer 14

What a refreshing outlook from a male poster on here.  As you see there is a serious case of group think mentality here and those who enjoy attacking in packs probably have not had an original thought in decades.  Please continue to post your observations you are a breat of fresh air.

Answer 15

Because men's groups are asking for equality.

Answer 16

because mens groups came as a result of the feminists.

Answer 17

Feminists have earned any bad feeling men have toward them.

Feminists started the war. Men will finish it.

Answer 18

Oh because women tend to be more respectful than men. Alternatively because women just can't be bothered.

Answer 19

Because the more frightened one is of something, the more hostile they become.

Answer 20

I think it's because of the level of the people asking the questions.

Someone asking questions to troll will of course ask more "questions" that are not legitimate but intended to insult others and provoke. And the trolls here ask questions out of proportion to their actual numbers. They want attention and they want to vent their anxiety and bitterness.

An open forum online where women gather is a target for men who have issues. The normal men and women here don't have a neurotic need to harass people from behind a screen. When you look at it that way I think the skewed nature of the questions here is understandable.

Answer 21

Fear dahling.

Answer 22

Men's groups support families, feminist groups support narcissism.

Answer 23

There aren't hardly any "men's groups" out there that anybody knows about.  There are a number of feminist groups that most people know about.

Is this really that hard for people to understand?  Go out on the street and ask somebody how many men's rights groups they know.  Most of them will probably either look at you like you're crazy or will be dumbfounded that such a thing exists.  Heck, I barely knew they existed before coming on here myself.  I think it's kind of hard to disrespect something you don't know much about.

"Oh because women tend to be more respectful than men."

Why does a sexist remark like that get 9 thumbs up?  If I said that and reversed the sexes, there's no way I'd come close to getting 9 thumbs up, and for good reason.  Can somebody explain that one?

Answer 24

I don't think the mens groups ideas are as easy to pull asunder.

Having said that, i don't know any mens groups.

Answer 25

You either aren't looking or you're a feminist.  Feminists don't see anything that negatively affects males.  Their hate makes them insensitive.

Answer 26

I have long suspected that you are a feminist woman trolling as a man...this question only confirms my doubts. To answer yourquestion, the reason is simple, trolls know that this is the place to go to if they want to p**s off feminists moreover the reason why men's rights aren't discussed is because men's rights are largely ignored men such as yourself (if at all you are a man) have become oblivious to the disparity that exiasts today, women's rights today are protected by law, there is no oppressive patriarchal government that attacks women or denies them rights anymore, on the other hand men's rights are often disregarded all together and i don't blame this on feminsist as much as i blame it on men like you who not only fail to aknowledge thse things but encourage it (even though at the end of the day you are more than likely to get screwed over in a divorce or falsely accused of rape) but then again...you could just be a woman posing as a man.

Answer 27

The obvious discrepancy points to intellectual dishonesty.  They are just people blinded by hate for women they are unable to be fair and have reasonable judgement, replying with at best nonsense and at worst pure hate.  

I'm assuming they probably have no had no real positive relationships with the opposite s*x so (or because?) they objectify them, and by dehumanizing them it is easier to hate.  They do so online because that is where they spend their time when they don't have women friends to socialize with or date romantically, and therefore probably no normal guy friends that have positive relations with women.   Plus it's easier to hide behind a screen and say things they wouldn't dare say in real life.

Also, a lot of these men have a major persecution complex.  If they're white too and raised in the West, that's even better...

Answer 28

How many men's groups are as numerous, outspoken and belligerent as feminists?

Answer 29

The women are here because they have legitimate concerns.  Although there are legitimate concerns for men's rights, the men/boys who post here are not her for that reason.  That is only an excuse to come here and write nasty things about feminists.  They are seriously mentally disturbed, and as you can see they even attacked you.  Most have more than one account so they will look like there are more crazy men in the world, and they also troll as women.

Answer 30

Sheer ignorance. You must be a feminist with bias eyes.

Answer 31

because most feminists aren't nearly as creepy/insane as many of the anti-fems on here.
