>>7743763
There is no man, regardless of how feminine they act, with anything to gain by supporting feminism. Feminism has done nothing to improve the lives of men, gay or straight.

>>7743763
Because feminists never did anything to improve the social standing of feminine men, all they ever do is to hijack their problems by lying that femmiphobia is caused by misogyny.

ITKF, back when I was still questioning one of my worries was that I might just be trying to get away from negative male stereotypes.
I'm very much in favor of equal opportunities for both genders and reducing the social pressures for people to behave a certain way based on their gender and such, and I'm sure there are plenty of feminists who genuinely want the same thing, but I'm not terribly eager to call myself one while the crazy man-hater types are still running around. I feel similarly about MRAs, there's some good ones like Warren Farrel, but I don't want anything to do with the douchebags like Paul Elam.

>>7754688
whats wrong with Elam?

>>7754683
I don't really have any "contempt for orgasm", or sex, or porn. I'm "sex-positive" or whatever you want to call it. But I just can't understand these trans women who whine about how feminism negatively impacts them because they still see themselves as feminine boys who were somehow maligned by feminism. Just seems dumb.

>>7754692

I'm >>7754601. My problem with trans women – from the standpoint of feminism – is how 99 in 100 perpetuate the worst patriarchal, most backwards, most oppressive stereotypes of "feminine". It's reflected in their aspirations.

For this reason, I don't consider any of them "tru"; they all are patriarchal caricatures of femininity. Even their HRTs are patriarchal caricatures of female hormonal system. No real woman has null testosterone; and no SEXY woman has LOW testosterone. And in any case no true woman is an average woman. It's a hysterical femininity.

But hey, we are talking about people who literally hate being sexy, per >>7752051. So they ARE feminists... of the WRONG kind.

>>7754809
How is HRT patriarchal?

>But hey, we are talking about people who literally hate being sexy, per >>7752051.
How does that show they hate being sexy?

>>7754688
>back when I was still questioning one of my worries was that I might just be trying to get away from negative male stereotypes.
i still kinda worry this myself

>>7754824
>How is HRT patriarchal?
I explained it right in that post!

>How does that show they hate being sexy?
1. Why do we spell "sexy", not "seksy"?
2. Fuck you.
3. It takes some mental gymnastics to see it. These "trans women" are simply rebranded mediaeval eunuchs. Their trick is that they rebrand "asexual" as "cute" and "cute" as "feminine", so they can call themselves "trans women" to fit better in a post-religious world. That thread is consistent with this theory because it reports that the majority of trans women prefer being "feminine" to being sexy. One thing is that they can't be sexy when "feminine" means what it means. Second thing is that you can't be ACTUALLY feminine and not sexy... unless you're a feminazi. Third thing is much more simple: if you prefer A to B, you love A, not B. They fucking literally say in your face that they DON'T like being sexy as much as they like being feminine... and you're asking me how that thread shows that they hate being sexy. They may say they don't hate it but their true love is revealed as soon as there is any hint of conflict between "sexy" and "feminine": they will enthusiastically destroy anything that makes them sexy if doing this can give them "femininity". Do you call a mother who kills one child to please another "a loving mother"? Guess what? I'm tired of talking to you. Don't forget to answer why we don't spell "sexy" as "seksy".

>>7754953
>I explained it right in that post!
No, you just said it's different from "real" women, no reason for it being patriarchal.

>They fucking literally say in your face that they DON'T like being sexy as much as they like being feminine...
No, they just prefer passing because under feminism they suffer if they are read as male.

>>7755003
>They don't hate being sexy, they just prefer passing.
"They aren't trans, they just prefer passing." It's the same logic. If you can prove it wrong, you can prove you wrong.

Its logical for anyone to be critical of feminism, because it is authoritarian and supports protecting the feelings of a few specific groups over everyones rights

They also wrongly accuse groups of being responsible for whats wrong in their life, make vast generalizations, are anti anyone who doesnt conform (like a right-leaning gay), and cause pain to people because of their insanity. Like doxxing people for making rapist/racist jokes online.

I'm not trying to say anything here, I'm ignoring politics altogether right around D now but, pure stats show that after a couple years on hrt that's got like, a 75% chance of flipping to maybe not identifying as a feminist, but going left of center when they never would've expected it

Suffragettes defended "Women and Children First" in emergencies.

Suffragettes defended the draft that saw countless men die.

Were they not first wave either?

The anti-ERA slogan was "STOP - Stop Taking Out Privileges"

Hi,
>>7755223

>>7755247
Suffragettes were looking for suffrage and suffrage alone, you retard. You know why movements are called movements? They are ongoing processes, not static moments in time. You think the feminist movement would have gotten women's suffrage successfully if they demanded every single fucking concession up front? Of course not.
>The anti-ERA slogan was
That was the anti-ERA camp. There were just as many feminists for the ERA; in fact is was written by Alice Paul and Crystal Eastman in the 1920s. You know who Alice Paul was, right?
kys you uneducated faggot

>>7755271
Can you please be a little less triggered?

Interesting that you defend feminists supporting female privilege and anti-male sexism with the justification that they wouldn't have extended female privilege so successfully had they done so.

This has been the pattern of feminism from the start to today.

>>7755545
That was not my claim. I said I liked the egalitarian feminism like the first and maybe second waves. These movements were overtly egalitarian movements. Then you sperged out, because they didn't strive to do more than they did, which is an unreasonable position and is moving the goalposts of the original claim.

You're delusional. They were suffragettes. They weren't fucking social justice warriors, asshole. They were after suffrage. Plus, men upheld both the draft and "women and child first" policies. How is that any different? Or are males also anti-male?
Besides, the ERA sought to do away with that, and was written and defended by core suffragettes after their voting rights had been secured.

>>7754706
It's because as trans women we've seen life from both sides. It's not about feeling personally attacked, (aside from the TERF ideologies of course) it's about seeing the double standard for what it is.

>>7755715
What's triggered you so bad? You thought feminists used to believe in equality, you were wrong, what's the big deal?

I mean unless you don't believe in equality yourself and the whole thing about feminism being good once was just a deliberate lie so you could pretend modern day sexist feminists are Not True Feminists?

>Or are males also anti-male?
There were Jewish Nazis, why are male feminists such a far-fetched idea?

>>7755696
I'd like to see some sources for those claims. I know there were some early feminists that went around shaming men who avoided going to war during WWI. But that wasn't something feminists just randomly decided to do on their own, it was a project organized by the military leadership to help recruit, and women were the only ones suitable for the job, both because men were more likely to care about how women felt about them, and because having a bunch of guys stay home and tell other guys to go off to fight would be hypocritical.

Also that was a very early formative stage of feminism, at that point they were really focused just on getting the right to vote, it hadn't become a whole broad philosophy later on, so there wasn't even a "feminist position" on things like the draft at that point.

>>7755863
>There were Jewish Nazis, why are male feminists such a far-fetched idea?
Male feminists definitely do exist, but the policies that hurt men (like the draft, and "women and children first") were created by men BEFORE FEMINISM WAS EVEN A THING, and some of these men were even opposed to female suffrage and feminism in general. So the idea that all these men were secretly feminists doesn't hold any water.

I think you're mistaking 'disliking feminism' or 'disliking women' or something. Just about all of my friends laugh at SJW shit and none of them are even internet people. Modern feminism is just an inherently dislikable thing, along with starving African kids or sluts getting beheaded in the Middle East.
Not that you're any kind of normal if you let that kind of hate actually effect your real world opinions, mind.

It's stupid internet shit that hardly even exists outside of American (and some European) cities

i've heard butler express a few of her opinions from an interview of her in the 90's i think.
like about how "gender is performed".
sort of an attempt to turn the classical idea of womanhood & manhood on its head, also to point out hypocrisy among feminists who demonized potential allies, including feminine & gay men & trannies.
generally, we shouldn't try to hurt anyone or turn them away on the basis of them being male or female, nor on the basis of how they identify w/ or "perform" their gender.
i think what feminism meant to her is a means to liberate sexuality, & i applaud that.
now for my criticism:
i think this is one of the origins of the belief that gender is just a thing that's made up, & when taken to its logical conclusion, it kind of destroys the fundamental principles on which being transgender is built, yet paradoxically we see feminist idiots act out in ways that would suggest they don't believe in the concept of gender yet still believe that they were forced to live as the wrong gender.

i like the idea that i don't have to be punished for doing & being what comes most naturally to me, but when taken too far it becomes a tenet that defies fact & logic, which is unpalatable to me, even if it is convenient to the way i choose to live my own life.
judith butler is actually a decently competent philosopher, but it would benefit everyone, especially radical & 3rd-wave feminists, not to take any of their own ideas too seriously.
that's my take on judith butler

feminism "became" a joke when people on the internet pointed out the most ignorant, stupidest shit people have done in the name of feminism.
now all issues that are important for women are shut down because people treat feminism as a joke.
trans women and fem men have varied opinions of feminism mainly because no one can decide what feminism is anymore.
this entire board believes western stereotypes to be the pinnacle of human truth when it's just bs.
all of 4chan seems to not care for sexism or racism or transphobia because its a joke.

1. Good summary.
2. You need to add: destruction of valid feminism using strawman feminism is one of /pol/'s great stories of success. It's as if "radical" feminists are a false-flag op by fascists. The whole modern "liberalism" feels like a false-flag op by fascists.

You know, sometimes it's hard to believe that highly educated people can be so stupid with an honest intent.

In any case (whether it's a case of false flag or inherent stupidity), the usefulness of present-day liberalism for furthering fascist causes points to the intellectual and moral weakness of the present-day liberals themselves.

In other words, it's not the fascists but the "liberals" themselves who appear to be the greatest threat to liberty.

I still find it hard to call such people "liberals" at all. It's as if the political opposition in 2017 were comprised of just fascists and "fascists in liberal clothes" – authoritarian bigots poorly indoctrinated into liberalism, lacking innate liberal instinct.

And that's just female normies... not the finest representations of their gender.

And I lose capacity for erection and meaningful orgasm even at a much higher testosterone level than both (lower male range 350 ng/dL). So anything lower than 400 makes you (a man or a woman) a sexual cripple.

There's a lot of people just on /pol/ who organize false-flag attempts as well as smaller scale stuff like making fake social media accounts that act like raving strawmen. There are definitely some genuine crazy extremists out there, but they're not nearly as common as the internet's obsession with Le SJW Boogeyman would lead you to believe- the vast majority of liberals I've known both online and off take those people about as seriously as goths or juggalos, regarding them as just some silly subculture to giggle at.

>>7766050
I never said that SJWs didn't exist, just that there are some groups who have a history of false-flagging in order to make them seem like a much bigger issue than they actually are, as well as trying to give the impression that they speak for liberals in general which is most definitely not the case. From the way some people on the internet talk about them, you'd think there were SJWs hiding behind every bush just waiting to jump out at you, its ridiculous.

>I don't understand you TERFs. We give up on ALL our privilege as men yet we're still oppressing you somehow?
The amount of wrong that one line of text can pack will never fail to amaze me. It will take me a disproportionately long post to fix it.

*

1. It would be easier to interpret your act as feministic if you deprived yourself of male privilege WHILE STAYING MALE. But even that would be merely feminazi... not feministic.
2. Masochistic gratification doesn't count. The relation between you and the gender equality movement is like the relation between a white man who enjoys living as a slave and the black liberation movement. His act could please black supremacist (like your act could please feminazis)... but what benefit is it to black slaves and to white people who want a free world? He's doing no favour to neither blacks nor whites. Likewise you're doing a favour neither to men nor to women. You literally chose the worst of two worlds. Your antidote to inequality is the communistic "equality in poverty". Your influence is a gender equivalent of the tall poppy syndrome.
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tall_poppy_syndrome
3. If you really did it to yourself, that would be fine. But no, people like you make OTHER people like you. You are a castration cult in trans clothes. You advertise lies and you drag others into self-harm (proof in the picture). You repress trans people who don't join you. So you are the TERF one really. You are the one who excludes AGPs, shemales and high-test women. You are the one aligned with feminazis. You are trans-exclusionary (TERF) – I'm feminazi-exclusionary (RFET). More: >>7754601

>What kind of woman turns a sister down? To me you're as bad as the men.
4. You'd have to be a WOMAN first. I don't call a WOMAN somebody with testosterone levels of a 11 year old (or even those of a normal white woman)... regardless of her birth gender.
5. I only turn down "trutrans", TERFs and feminazis. You are as bad as patriarchy.

Femininity is a useless concept so long as it continues to be defined by men.

>>7766353
>if you deprived yourself of male privilege WHILE STAYING MALE.
That's not even an option though, you don't choose to have privilege, the best you can do is acknowledge of it, but if you live as a male you're given male privilege whether you want it or not. You could be some kind of flagellant who hurts or disadvantages yourself to "counteract" male privilege, but that really doesn't make sense as anything but a symbolic gesture.

> you drag others into self-harm (proof in the picture)
I really don't see how that's "self-harm", it's just body modification. There's no issue with it as long as you pay for it yourself, and are aware of the consequences.

>I don't call a WOMAN somebody with testosterone levels of a 11 year old (or even those of a normal white woman)... regardless of her birth gender.

>>7766934

Funny, that's exactly what people said about first and second wave feminism.

>Women in the United States, Europe and basically the rest of the western civilized world have total equality under the law. The current things 'feminists' advocate is literally non-issue bullshit
So legal equality is where we must stop? Not saying legal equality isn't a good thing, but you seem to think that social norms should be held sacred and questioning them should be forbidden, even when they do harm women.

>>Stop telling women to defend themselves! Tell rapists to stop raping us because criminals always obey the law when reminded
What anti-feminists dismiss as "telling men not to rape" is actually encouraging people to gain a more complete understanding of what consent actually is. Most people, if asked, will say rape is wrong, the problem is they don't REALIZE what rape is. And no, obviously criminals won't stop committing crimes just because they're being "reminded", that's where punishment comes in.

It would be entirely enough if they had low testosterone compared to HIGH-TESTOSTERONE MALE standards... but I could even dispute that.

The point of HRT is to make them WOMEN, not cripples.

Low testosterone isn't any more "feminine" than low IQ or brittle bones (osteoporosis) or breast cancer. Even though all these things are "normal" for women.

>>7768340

>>7768789
But the female brain does not function properly in the presence of male-level testosterone. That's WHY dysphoria occurs in the first place. Not to mention that a reduction in testosterone below the normal male level is really the only way you'll ever have a chance of having an even remotely feminine body.

The reason eugenics is bad is because it was forced on people. If you think voluntary castration is eugenics, you must also think that any sexual decision made by anyone is eugenics as well.

So, according to you, it's "the rights of others" when you turn 99 trannies in 100 into voluntary eunuchs for YOUR fulfillment... but it's "infringement" when I turn 5 trannies in 100 into voluntary semen demons for MY fulfillment?

And this is exactly why? Because your fulfillment isn't sexual?

Classic feminazi impudence. "My rights are anything I approve of."

But I'm not saying I'm entitled to "turn" anyone into anything. If a femboy wants to undergo medical transition, that's his own choice. I'm not entitled to demand they transition, and you're not entitled to demand they don't transition.

But if a femboy wants to become a milk & cum fountain for me, that's not his own choice??? Nice double standard.

You say this... and yet that's what you do. Those femboys don't indoctrinate into castration all by themselves.

Because at least in my experience, feminists not only play by the tribalist theme of "if you're a guy you HAVE to be a piece of shit unless proven otherwise" but most women in general will give a guy major shit for coming off as feminine.

>>7773388
>But if a femboy wants to become a milk & cum fountain for me, that's not his own choice??? Nice double standard.
I never said that though. Either is fine with me as long as they're not forced into it.

>You say this... and yet that's what you do. Those femboys don't indoctrinate into castration all by themselves.
No, I'm not saying we should force them into anything. Some do have dysphoria severe enough that they want medical transition. And realistically, the number of femboys genetically fortunate enough to be able to age naturally without ending up looking like a gross manbeast can be counted on one hand. For all the rest, if they don't want to end up looking manly, the only real options are suicide or transition.

What are you talking about?

In theory, they don't.

In practice, most girly boys want to be super Staci Bubblegum J-idol objects of desirability, and that's bad, because the male gaze is problematic and we shouldn't reward it, even if we literally have a willing population of dudes who have nothing else to do besides altering themselves in order to meet the fucking demand.

The men's rights movement isn't interested in any change that actually benefits atypical men, which is why feminism opposes them.

That's very interesting. I've just checked it and MANY posts in that thread were deleted seemingly randomly. It suggests that they belonged to the same anon and that anon got banned.

On the other hand, 4chan currently has some technical problems: many files have disappeared from many threads. It doesn't look like DDOS, it looks like 4chan is underfunded and its servers are creaking. So maybe vanished posts are part of this.

I, and I feel like many people, called themselves "feminists" in the past, because we believe the women should be treated as equals to men, but as the radfems became louder, the general idea of what a "feminist" is changed, and we no longer feel as if the label of "feminist" describes what we believe.

I think the new term people are using is "egalitarian" or "humanist" to mean they believe in equality between the sexes, not the perverted ideology associated with the term "feminism".

>>7757902
>Because that's what women without testosterone are. I call it "unfeminine".
Oh wow, so you made up a word because you're a woman with high-T and you don't like that you have masculine features, so you put down women with low-T to feel better about yourself.

The only real problem girly men have nowadays is being the target of violence at school, and even that lasts only some 10 years or so.

>>7824382
Your own side admitted feminism kills men earlier in the thread.

>>7768103

They think they are and that's what matters. Being a good man is taking a sacred vow to keep them and their children safe.

That's just an anecdotal observation.

Patriarchy theory is a load of shit that blames everything on some plot to oppress women. And that's why feminine men do not like feminism, becaus all of their problems are said to be just the 'patriarchy' backfiring on them in the process of oppression women. (and if a woman is discriminated against for acting masculine, it's also oppression against women!)

You're not wrong however that unfortunately most men don't support men's liberation. Of course feminism is a large part of that in suppressing and smearing any attempts to liberate men so that men don't wake up.

>>7831703
I agree that the problems of fem men have nothing to do with patriarchy or misogyny, but I don't think supporting woman-hating dolts like those of the MRM will ever bring anything good.

>>7827166
>The only real problem girly men have nowadays is being the target of violence at school, and even that lasts only some 10 years or so.
Even if there is no other stigma for being an effeminate man, school violence can be very bad, especially over 10+ years.

>>7832154
>men start a movement to get equal rights in court, etc.
>they get accused of being misogynists for this

This is why people see feminists as man-haters and the movement as a joke.

>>7831703
Patriarchy theory has nothing to do with a "plot". That's like saying "gravity is the scientific theory that God doesn't like you steeling his stuff."

And it's not "backfiring", it's functioning exactly as expected, the patriarchy is for the exclusive benefit of HETERONORMATIVE men.

>>7833999
One of the main "issues" that MRAs are supposedly fighting for is for the "right" of fathers to keep children after divorce. Only, the disparity is almost entirely explained by men being less willing to fight for it in court. And yet they have the nerve to say the wage gap isn't a problem because "women choose lower paying jobs".

>>7834310
>the patriarchy is for the exclusive benefit of HETERONORMATIVE men.
It really sucks at its purpose then considering under "patriarchy" women are by far the most privileged people.

>>7834323
It's a well known fact that father get screwed over in divorce courts. That study you referred to isn't exactly accurate either: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/men/relationships/fatherhood/11647915/Are-divorced-dads-really-treated-fairly-by-the-family-courts.html

women hate inconfident men. it's in their nature. if you're a uncle tom fag / trannie who fits all the stereotypes they'll get a kick out of adding you to their friendcircle as some weird accessoire of broken, deconstructed masculinity that they can use to fuel the gril power train with and bitch about their hetero guy peers using classic one liners such as
> why are all the best looking guys gay?
which to them seems like a brilliant twofer in that it both makes them look super progressive and that it acts as some twisted shit test to potential jock twats the most macho of which they will without fail fuck and enter consecutive short term relationships with only to turn around and bitch about how all men are uncaring dicks after they drop their sorry ass; all the while rejecting less traditionally testosterone-fueled, macho men who sit and watch and casually contemplate suicide stuck in traffic on their morning commute

>>7836665

FTFY

>>7837022
Let's see how you twist it so that recieving special treatment is sexist towards women.

>>7837038
It does benefit them, they're just so used to benefiting from it that they're incapable of comprehending that women don't also benefit from them. But it goes beyond benefitting them, it also grants them autonomy, wheras the "benefits" women receive from benevolent sexism are just a gilded cage.

>>7837045
What you call "special treatment" is merely a euphemism for sex segregation, and you'd have to be literally retarded to say that forcing different roles and opportunities on people solely on the basis of sex isn't sexist.

>>7838412
>they're just so used to benefiting from it that they're incapable of comprehending that women don't also benefit from them.
Switch the genders here and you've just explained why feminists deny female privilege.

Men do not have autonomy under our gynocentric society. Women do.

The only reason men have little freedom in gender role is because they don't want to have gender role freedom, plain and simple.

>>7840949
You're not wrong unfortuntely, the feminists wouldn't be anywhere near as strong if they didn't have so many white knight collaborators.

>>7840949
Lots of men want more freedom to express themselves. Those men are called fag, get shoved in a locker, and are laughed at by people of both sexes.

>>7844415
But that's not something that can be blamed on feminism.

>>7844569

>>7847635

It's the men beating you up faggot. It's the patriarchy telling you you're a fag. Men are the cause of most problems.

Yes men are also the cause of most solutions STFU.

I don't think feminism is a conspiracy, or virus or religion or whatever but I do think it's a ridiculous ideological lense in the West. Most issues pointed out by Western feminists aren't questions of sexism but the result of their actions and society.

For instance, not many women in stem. So get a stem degree. Don't get a degree that enables you only to point out the lack of stem women.

Sometimes they twist information for personal gain. Wage gap myth is a biggie. Silencing dissenters Mccarthy style is another.

They've also historically been critical of transitioning, so they're not any kind of natural ally of mine. Doesn't help they lump those non binary guys in with me creating a cluster fuck.

They redefine words to suit their agenda, cite bogus statistics and most importantly of all: refuse to address the real misogynistic cultures in the world.

Keep your feminism, I don't want it, I don't need it, I don't want your representation.

Emma Goldman was okay though.

>>7847907
Are they allies in the fight against misandry as well as misogyny?

>>7847924
I don't think they do much to really combat either. It's just another overstudied underthought academic past time. Some shady people use it for a quick buck or social protection, I'm sure others are just ignorant or think it's helpful. But at I can't think of any major advancements made by Western feminists recently outside of dumbing down whatever issues they insert themselves into.

Abortion right? The debate should be about bodily autonomy, when the fetus is alive, what kind of a life is it, the founder of planned parenthood embraced eugenics, should the government be funding this, is this is a state issue, can we really expect somebody to mother a rape baby, etc

Instead it's set aside as a "women's rights" issue and we lose all this nuance in the noise.

It just makes people more galvanized towards misandry/misogyny.

>>7847974
I agree about the abortion debate. It's not a woman vs the world issue, even though it's one that applies to women more directly than men.

What can be done to fight genuine misogyny and misandry then?

>>7743763
Because the left 'tolerates' trans women and gay men on paper, while laughing at them for being 'weak' behind their backs.

>>7753187

You find the archetypal feminist critique of the MRM wanting?

>>7847871
>it's the men beating you up faggot
Usually yes but not always (and that's not counting the cases where a woman tells her white knight boyfriend to beat up another man or he does so to impress her)

>it's the patriarchy telling you're a fag
Ah the mythical 'patriarchy' again (which of course is the fault of men so men don't need to their issues solved women are oppressed!). Feminists also enforce gender roles, like with their male tears mugs and attacking their enemies as 'whiners' and 'neckbeards'.

>>7848102

That's true

>>7848140

Dude all the times I've been called a fag irl and not playful like here it's been by men.

Walking down the street? Men.

At a party with girl friends? Men

I've never been an object for a girl to tell her bf to hit. That's silly. Women may not respect me if I'm trans and that's shit but they're not gonna beat me up for making their penis confused.

Men need to solve so many issues and feminism helps some of them. Mra's are fucking themselves complaining about nonsense. They run the fish on becoming the very sjws they hate.

The femanazi and the MRA/rp guys are the same on opposite ends. No one's doing shit to help. The MRA's don't start shelters or help gay and trans men.

WTF are you doing except complaining and straw man feminists and circle jerkin pussypass denied shit.

Do something about male rape in prison. Bring awareness.

Do you know how often I see rape jokes from men about male rape? "He's gonna get it in prison!!! Lollll"

>>7848140
Men beat mtfs up for "threatening their women" by using the female restrooms.

>>7848176
Gender norms are almost 100% of the time reinforced by the same gender. Men and women pick on GNC men and women respectively, men are violent to men, women are catty to women. In other cultures too, footbinding and FGM were/are both done by mothers to daughters.

>>7753200

>>7848176

That explains it, trans acceptance is a lot stronger than acceptance of feminine men.

>why aren't mras doing anything
The MRM simply doesn't have the manpower or support to do it. They are a small movement intensely despised and demonised by feminism, traditional gender role propotents and the media. Right now they are currently trying to raise awareness and support. Earl Silverman tried to open a shelter and look how he ended up.

>>7848245
Me too. Maybe that's why I wish I was a girl.

>>7848261
>They are a small movement intensely despised and demonised by feminism, traditional gender role propotents and the media.
Why do feminists and traditionalists both hate them?

>>7848271
Because neither feminists nor traditionalists want an end to men being disposable providers and protectors.

>>7848283
Put like that things don't look good for men.

What does this conflict mean for LGBT people?

>>7848298
Lesbians and bi women aren't really affected and gays should be fine as long as homophobia doesn't rise again and feminists decide they are also privileged. Bi men face trouble gaining female partners due to bisexuality in men being seen as 'unmanly'.

It's bad for Transwomen though. If TERFs manage to gain control of the feminist movement (and they are gaining momentum), transwomen might be screwed. Transmen won't fare too well either but TERFs don't really care about them as much other than seeing them as traitors.

>>7848261
I find it very strange it's more socially acceptable for a boy to become a girl than for a boy to behave in a not masculine manner.

Because nearly all the abuse in my life has been from women to the point where I actually find myself unable to connect with women because after the 10th backstabbing it's just not worth it.

>>7849931
Because transgenders are a lot more accepted due to LGBT and feminist efforts while men's liberation has little support (in many ways due to those same feminists).

Yeah except these people are actually big names in the Manosphere. The "bad feminists" are usually either teenagers who don't even know what they're talking about, or "feminists-in-name-only" like the TERFs who are pretty much unanimously rejected by the mainstream feminist community. The problem with MRAs isn't that "some horrible people call themselves MRAs", it's that even MRA's who are moderates, or "don't worry, I'm not one of the bad ones" types, still end up defending those scumbags, rather than recognizing that they're a threat to the legitimacy of the movement and need to be cast out if you actually care about the well-being of men.

Like Mary Koss? How about the feminist movement campaigning against gender neutral rape laws in India and Israel? Or the Duluth Model? Or Hillary Clinton saying women are the primary victims of war and supporting 'gender responsive courts'.

>>7855327
>Duluth Model
Why do MRAs go on about this so much? It's not a cornerstone of feminism, I wouldn't have even HEARD ABOUT IT in the first place if it wasn't for MRA's, even though I know a lot of feminists. And people bring it up as this horrible thing, without saying why it's bad, but merely bringing it up like everyone should be expected to KNOW it's bad. But if you actually read about it, really all it's saying is that domestic abuse can be caused by social norms, and I don't see why that's so controversial, unless you're the kind of person who's gone off the deep end and outright deny that social norms can ever have any effect on human behavior. Most of the criticisms of the Duluth model that I've found are basically based in a black-and-white view of things, basically being "this is a bad model because it doesn't explain everything", even though that's true of most theories, they're just general principles. Their reasoning that the Duluth model is "harmful" depends on the assumption that everyone who uses it treats it like the literal word of God and assumes it explains literally all domestic violence. When that really doesn't seem to be the point - it's just a theory explaining a specific pattern of domestic violence, not a one-size-fits-all model.

FYI this poster has just got destroyed in another thread over Duluth.

>>7743763
I'm MtF and always acted feminine since I was young. I'm not critical of feminism really, I'm just critical of some of their ideas and radicals, but gender equality as a whole is something I'm wholly for. Men and women both have certain advantages and disadvantages in society and I wish both sides could realize that and try to fix both of those problems rather than only focusing on their own and ignoring the issues of the other sex. That only helps to create more division and lessen the goal of gender equality, it doesn't help.

>>7743763
But OP you realize most people in general dislike feminism or at least don't really care either way, that includes biological women.

Feminist are just that 1% of annoying people (who happened to be women usually of the masculine variety) that most people don't care about.

Idk why people keep making these threads....nobody likes feminists anyway lol.

Can a feminist explain how women are oppressed to me?

When I think of oppression I think of the way that gays and blacks are treated in society.

Black are more likely to be assaulted and murdered than white, therefor they are more oppressed than whites.
Gays are more likely to be assaulted and murdered than straights, therefor they are more oppressed than straights.
Women are less likely to be assaulted and murdered than men, therefor they are not oppressed.

Blacks and gays get longer sentences for the same crime. Women get shorter sentences
Blacks and gays have less access to education. Women have more access. Blacks and gays are more likely to be homeless. Women are less likely to be homeless. Blacks and gays have harmful societal injustices that make them resort to alcoholism and drugs. Women are less likely to resort to alcoholism and drugs.

Literally every way blacks and gays are oppressed women are the exact opposite. From the point of view of a gay poc women, especially white women, are the most fucking privilege people to have ever walked the planet.

>>7863098
I'm with you

>>7863122
>most people in general dislike feminism or at least don't really care either way,
This^

If most of the population doesn't really like feminism then why should we?

>>7863152
"Privilege" isn't only about treatment, it's also about power. Women get preferential treatment, but for the most part it's just a gilded cage. And this is true even in primitive/third world societies, in those societies women are CLEARLY lacking in rights, but they're still taken care of by men, and not expected to have to fight in combat, etc. Defining "privilege" based ONLY on preferential treatment is silly, because it leads to conclusions like physically disabled men are more privileged than able-bodied men, even though until very recently men with severe physical disabilities were for all practical purposes unable to leave the house.

>>7865311
So do you really believe that women, who make up the largest voting block, lack power? How do you define power? What gives the average man more power than the average woman?

If you define money as power consider that although men earn the majority of money women are the ones that spend the vast majority of money, and they spend nearly 5 times as much on themselves as men do. Considering women control the majority of money do you think it is odd that we have coalitions for the rights and needs of women but not for men.

>>7865311
Sure is convenient that your definition of privileges absolves you of being privileged. Again there is no way women can not be privileged if gays and blacks are oppressed.

>>7866539
>So do you really believe that women, who make up the largest voting block, lack power? How do you define power? What gives the average man more power than the average woman?
Doesn't it seem odd to you that the United States has never had a female president? No women has even come CLOSE before the last decade or so. And even in countries that have had female presidents/prime ministers/chancellors, the vast majority of people holding those positions have still been men.

>If you define money as power consider that although men earn the majority of money women are the ones that spend the vast majority of money, and they spend nearly 5 times as much on themselves as men do. Considering women control the majority of money do you think it is odd that we have coalitions for the rights and needs of women but not for men.
Spending money doesn't mean you can control it. Men merely ALLOW them to spend the money, and can reverse that decision at any moment, you can only really control money if you have a way of obtaining it on your own, not relying on handouts from others who you don't control.

>>7866605
Privilege arises from a confluence of different factors. Obviously a white cis het woman is more privileged than most gays or blacks. But a black woman is less privileged than a black man, for example. Privilege isn't something you either have or you don't, it's a scale.

>>7866694
Black me who are the most likely to be shot, most likely to be incarcerated, most likely to be followed in a store, most likely to be harrased by police. Do you really think they have it better than black women, and if so how?

What about lesbians vs gays. Gays are still the number one target of hate crimes.

If privilege is a scale why do women so adamantly deny they have it.

Also you brought of politicians which again mean nothing to the average Joe. How is the average women not more privileged that. The average man. I think you spend too much time looking at the top when if you looked down you would find you are walking on the dead and dying bodies of blacks, gays and men.

Okay, that's different. The poster I was replying to claimed that women were privileged because men allow them to spend their money. Which is nonsense, because that means women don't actually control the money. If women earn more money, then they do control the money.

>>7866792

They don't. They just deny that they have privilege FROM BEING A WOMAN. Most white cishet women are well aware that they're more privileged than white trans people or black people.
