I love men. I think they are great. I just think women are equal to men. That's it.
Here we go again. Everytime I say I wouldn't want to date a woman because of something I don't find attractive (my right by the way!) I get jumped on for my choice! A lot of women on this forum wouldn't date men for petty reasons like height and shyness but since I don't want to date a feminist I'm committing a dating world sin. I love women as well but if I don't want to date a woman then I am a bad person. Smh whatever

Most people are sheep and just listen to what the media and society tells them. It's cool and trendy to be a feminist in today's world. So you'll see most women and many men saying that they are feminists.

These are the same people that, if they lived in a different time period, would also agree with the propaganda pitched during that particular time period (ie: they would dislike the military during Vietnam, dislike Jews during WW2, dislike blacks during the Jim Crow error). The average person is incapable of original thought and follow society without question.

Only on a conservative internet forum is the word "feminist" considered a pejorative.

And you're able to see this because you're above-average, right? Thanks for enlightening us.


What I don't understand is why the Op would prefer a woman who doesn't value herself and her job skills enough to want to be paid fairly for her work, and who would be ok with workplace harrasment. If such a woman even exists. Some guys seem to gravitate towards women with low self-esteem.

In some ways, I'm above average. In other ways, I'm not.

But the vast majority of people don't really have original thoughts and simply regurgitate what they are taught from a young age.

My generation has had feminism shoved down our throats since we were born. Like many other things in life, we were lied to.

It was important to my husband that his long term partner be a feminist since he is one as well.

Like the awesome Justin Trudeau, Canada's Prime Minister, states:

You are right, and that is one of the tired old cliches right there. ^^^^^^

There are three completely different concepts that are called feminism:

1.) Activism to gain equal rights for women, the "original" feminism as intended when it was first started. Almost non-existent today.

2.) Taking away privileges from men and handing them over to women. All the rights with any of the responsibilities

3.) Blind hatred for all men.


I have no issues with woman #1, all the other ones, well - goes without saying...
