As egalitarians, we want all people to be treated with equal consideration. There should be no favorites. All people, be they men, women, or children, deserve the same human rights, and the same amount of support.

As it comes to gender, which is our focus here, there are still many problems to be addressed. But we call upon all, paraphrasing a famous actress: you’re either an egalitarian, or you’re a sexist.

What do you think?

    When Emma said what she said, I seriously doubt she thought about male issues. Not that I blame her completely, since society in general is so blind when it comes to issues that primarily or uniquely affect men. Sometimes they are even reframed to become ‘Benevolent Sexism’ against women.

    But yes, I agree with the premise of this post.

      All male issues, when brought up, get thrown back in men’s faces about how it’s actually sexism against women. Feminism is cancer on society.

        Menimism is a group of humans focused on single issue: men’s issues.

        Feminism is a group of humans focused on a single issue: women’s issues.

        Why do you think the former will evolve in a different direction than the latter?

        You call feminism cancer, radical feminists think men are the cause of all issues. Why do you think behaving like them and copying their rhetoric is good? Why is it wrong for them to think badly of all men, and you to think badly of an entire movement? Do you think that hatred for each other on both sides is the solution?

          Except we don’t behave like them. We don’t demonize a whole gender.

          You need to differentiate between gender and ideology.

          “Menimism” was a joke to make fun of the name feminism and how stupid it was, it’s not a group

          Why do you think the former will evolve in a different direction than the latter?

          Mostly because we’re not meninists, we’re egalitarians on a sub with a mens rights focus.

          See what happens when you manage to include your equality in your naming for things? Shocking right?

          You call feminism cancer, radical feminists think men are the cause of all issues.

          Because feminism is cancer, it convinces women that all men are the root of all problems, in the way you are trying to blame this group for doing (which we don’t, and basically no men’s group does)

          So, fucking again, women =/= feminism, and we can say feminism and all feminsts should go to hell because their actions and the group they choose to associate is a bigoted hate group.

          That doesn’t mean we’ve done anything close to saying “hate all women” or “all women should X”

          Something feminists (see the difference yet?) do fucking constantly

        Feminism is not cancer. Can you talk about some of the issues that get thrown back in men’s faces?

          Feminism is absolutely cancer. It, as an ideology, is as toxic and cancerous to gender relations as the KKK is to race relations, and we know this because feminists adlib the same bigoted arguments that racists and Nazis and KKK members use and have historically used.

          As an example of them doing exactly this: gendering of domestic violence data collection to minimize male victims, hide female perpetrators, and throw any attempts at including males back in those males’ faces with fallacious and insanely sexist takes like “who is causing the violence” (which they also only say after hiding the female perpetrators)

          Edit: this is called Gamma bias, btw, and is one of many examples of feminists using KKK tactics against men. For those who would like to see feminists version of Mein Kampf, it’s called the S.C.U.M. Manifesto and has been cited as a “seminal feminist work” by feminists in politics who are creating this sexist DV legislation
