Question

Why do people mock feminists so, are they not the champions of equality in our society?

Answer 1

No they are like any "ism" they seek to have the world run their way and that always represses some in society.

Two wrongs don't make a right and feminism is wrong in many areas as it does not take into account others opinions how ever reasonable.

Answer 2

Women have been degraded and abused since forever and men and their mind controlled minions that call themselves women want to keep it that way forever and ever

I would rather be able to vote and become a genetic engineer than be forced to be a nurse, teacher, or baby factory

YES THEY ARE

Answer 3

Well, an "ism" aimed at the betterment of one sect of the society at the disadvantage of an another sect of the society CAN'T be about equality. "Mocking femminists"? What alternative do we have? Idiots can only be mocked at. Anything else will make them whine and cry victim more.

Answer 4

Puhleease..... Don't atempt to compliment them by using feminists & champions in the same statement.. Besides, satire is 1 of the spices of life !..

Answer 5

Champions of equality? Are you serious?

They spend most of their time pushing the idea that it is women who are oppressed, whilst doing nothing about, or supporting, the following.

Its all about a mothers rights, but no fathers rights. The new family unit is now defined as a mother and her children.

Women being treat like princesses in prison and men being treat like animals. Female prison guards humiliate and degrade men, but female prisoners get privacy and respect from male prison guards.

Bodily choice for women, but forced genital mutilation for baby boys, referring to womens rights to their bodies in terms of abortion, but boys being circumcised without choice.

Female reporters allowed in men’s locker rooms, but privacy and respect for female athletes. Very strange definition of equality that feminsim was very vocal about as being equal rights. Is this an example of the respect that feminists claim MEN dont have for WOMEN?

Its women getting everything in a divorce, and men being torn away from their children

Female s*x offenders being slapped on the wrist, but male s*x offenders being incarcerated the rest of their lives

Its men being sentenced to more time for the same crime than women. This can be reserached under the US government and shows that women dont get held accountable to the level that men do.

Its a feminized education system that cripples natural behavior of boys, makes being male a crime in school, then girls claiming they are smarter.

Its women being allowed to drown five children and using the fact she is a woman to get away with it - Andrea Yates

Its women being allowed to use domestic violence as an excuse to murder a sleeping husband, even though there is no evidence of domestic abuse - Mary Winkler

Its the extensive abuse of restraining orders to villify an innocent man and get leverage in a divorce.

Its men being jailed for defending themselves against an abusive wife, but called a wimp if he takes the abuse

Its women demanding respect from men, but never having to respect them in return

Its women having the choice between abortion, adoption, dropping an unwanted baby off at a hospital, raising the child with a father, or raising the child without a father, but the only choice men have is to agree.

Its 3 innocent Duke Lacrosse players losing their lives because we dont ever think a woman could lie about rape - let alone prosecute her for doing so.

Its women labeling men as abusive when the US government has shown women cause more child abuse than men.

Its female rape being horrendous, but male rape being funny and made in to comedy movies. Male rape is a legally accepted part of the justice system, but only against men.

Its just about every TV show being allowed to humiliate and degrade men, but women complaining and calling it sexist if they were treated the same.

It’s more health care spending going towards women’s health than mens.Breast cancer receives 7 times the funding of prostate cancer. There are three departments of womens health in the US government, but none for men. However, men live an average of 5 years less than women when the genders used to have the same life span.

Its allowing women only clubs and banning men only clubs

It’s doing everything we can to help girls in math and science, but letting boys fall further behind in everything else.

It’s defining equal pay for equal work as men playing five sets of tennis, but women only playing three. Maybe women claiming 3=5 is the reason for the above point

Its cutting men’s sports in college in favor of women’s sports that have no interest

Its female murderers being mentally ill, but male murderers just being evil

Its claiming men walk out on their family when its actually women who file 80% of divorces

Its men being portrayed as evil, stupid or buffoons on TV and all women being perfect or superior.

Its women wanting equality for their gender, but men being called chauvinist pigs when they want equality for their gender

Its fixing the education system when girls are failing, and blaming the boys when boys are failing

Its women being allowed to level false accusation against an innocent man without consequence. Read Duke Lacrosse and many other examples. Feminism has installed this right to women through the courts.

Its a man being a chauvanist, sexist pig when he doesnt respect women, but a women who doesnt respect men is an admirable, strong and independant woman.

Its feminists not being able to provide one example of legal discrimination against women today.

Answer 6

Those who refuse to accept the basic humanity of women realize they've lost that argument. Makes them bitter.

(Funny how few of them are capable of reading a simple dictionary entry, too. They keep insisting feminism has to do with having hairy legs, and hating men. LOL.)

Answer 7

Champions of equality? What the h**l are you smoking.

Answer 8

It's because the word Feminist has TWO meanings - and most of the mockers are really targeting ONE of them.

There is the EQUAL RIGHTS side (which is sometimes referred to as "old school" Feminism) - and the "Man Hating Butches/Amazonians" (those who feel that men have to "pay" for their past actions - and that it is THEIR time to be in charge).  Usually it's the latter group (which is often called "Hardcore" Feminists) that is mocked...

This particular group happens to be the MINORITY - but typically, they are the most outspoken (and thus seen to have the ONLY viewpoint).

As a man, I fully support the majority - and I try not to let the "Hardcore" members get me down ;);););)

Answer 9

Champions? What are you on?

Equality is what they talk about because it is politically correct to do so. Like all women their actions tell a vastly different story. A story full of hypocrisy. Full of lies. Stories with no studies to back up the "facts" they made up. They may, I stress may, have been for equality at one point in the past but not anymore. Today it's about acquiring special privileges. Not equality. It's about playing the victim card when it suits them. It's about playing the "we are equal" card when it suits them. They will play whatever role they have to in order to obtain benefits.

Answer 10

Even though it sounds like you're mocking feminists yourself-I'll answer your question seriously:



Some people don't want equality or equal opportunities-so they get upset with feminists and feminism-but it doesn't sound good to admit you don't want women to have the same opportunities as men-so they say they're against feminism-not equality. But it seems that these people think that women should be primarily housewives (which is fine if you choose it) and that asking for more than that is expecting "special privileges for women". These people don't see why women need political or economic opportunities-as those are "male" arenas.

Obviously-these folks don't believe this quote one bit:  "You don't have to be anti-man to be pro-woman." ~Jane Galvin Lewis

Answer 11

In our species there is no such thing as equality. Equality will never exist since it is contrary to human nature. It is funny to me that we spend so much time debating the need for equality not recognizing that it will never happen. We are imperfect creatures who have created an imperfect society not from will but from nature. Nothing will change and I propose that as we try to create an equal existence among man we actually create sociological structures that perpetuate inequality.

Answer 12

The feminism today is not empowering women, it is not asking for equality. They are doing the exact same things their male counter parts are. I just want equality, plain and simple for every human being.

I am so tired of fighting with everyone. I know a lot of people are going to hate me for this but; Equality is not a secular religion; which most people have turned the great name of feminism into.

I rather prefer humanism because it is for anyone that is down and out. Anyone that feels like they are being misused; Humanism will affirm life rather than deny it, seek to elicit the possibilities of life, not flee from it, and endeavour to establish the conditions of satisfactory life for all, not merely for the few.

We all deserve to speak; everyone has the right. People need to stop fighting this asinine war between us little people and fight the actual fight.
