Soraya Chemaly: International Women's Day: 10 Reasons Why Feminism is Good For Boys and Men

There is a lengthy article posted by Soraya Chemaly on why feminism is good for boys & men... aharrahahahahahaha...

OK, now stop laughing, wipe those tears from your eyes and focus on the subject again..

Above is the link to the original article which you're welcome to follow & read. You will find propaganda, sexism and typical promotion of feminism as superior to all other ideas (anything non feminist is portrayed negatively), thus reaffirming the notion that feminists suffer from a mental condition whereby they actually believe they are superior beings purely because they affiliate with the hate movement known as feminism.

And my reply to their ignorance, which I have to post here as it is 'too long' for a reply on the site itself. Apparently, 250 words is considered ample to reply to a lengthy article... duh.

10. Freedom from the tyranny of stereotypes.
May be true in some context, but it is primarily mothers who teach children of both sexes how to behave according to gender roles. Feminism has spent most of it's time finding ways to blame men for any & everything from the world of violence (pretending it's a one-way street) to the boys crisis (which they initially denied the existence of).
Instead of focusing on "how can we blame men for this.." mentality, feminists should focus on educating mothers to bring up children without saying to a hurt son "man up" while saying "Oh my little princess come to mommy" to a hurt daughter.

9. Greater academic success.
Feminism made demands to make schools more & more girl-friendly.. Now schools are so boy-hostile, that boys are feeling very much discriminated against in schools. Claiming "it's not feminisms' fault that we keep teaching boys they're all abusers & rapists and all girls are victims" is rubbish. You and your kind have gone out of your way to ensure boys have zero confidence in academia. We can't even engage our own preferences without a feminist claiming she's being 'somehow' discriminated against - while happily ignoring the discrimination boys face due largely to feminist demands.

7. No sole breadwinner workhorse expectations
And yet, women still eagerly lap up the primary parent position - even when they're not. Feminism has promoted a one-way mentality where women ALWAYS win and men always lose. When a couple split, the man will stand minimal chance of gaining primary custody of his children but will face an almost exclusive likelihood of paying her for the honour of having his children kidnapped via the sexist legal implementation of laws that are supposed to be gender neutral... which feminists either defend or promote, thus confirming they do not seek equality but rather superiority.

6a. Broader range of work and life options
In your example, nurses and school teachers, you could try reaching out to women (who dominate said professions) and tell them to back-off the guys who try to enter their realm instead of being silent and telling bullied men to 'man up'.

6b. Less insistence of violence
What a sexist POV you project against masculine values. You also completely ignore that many women promote violence between men. And you choose to ignore that the vast majority of child abuse is at the hands of women, not men. So if anyone is teaching our children that violence is the answer.... talk to women about how they treat children and men who disagree with them. How often have we seen women slapping children upside the head for simple infractions, like crying? How often have we seen women slapping men - the majority of whom do not retaliate - for minor infractions such as not giving her the 'correct' answer to a question, causing her to feeeeeeel bad?

5. More time with fathers.
Again, look to women for answers here.. it is women who do the maternal gate-keeping and stop fathers being involved with their own children. Feminist inspired hate campaigns against men & fathers has done considerable damage to families - nothing good at all.

3. More time AS fathers.
See above; again, talk to mothers about this - stop pretending feminism has done good for fathers when in reality your kind have done all in your power to dissolve the role of fatherhood (while simultaneously promoting the role motherhood as being God-like). Schools are now too scared to let fathers be involved in their own children's academic welfare thanks to feminist propaganda against dads who separate from the mother, portraying them all as potential abusers of women & children.

2. Less chance of becoming a father through unplanned pregnancies.
Wrong - women still have those "Oops, I 'forgot' to take my pill" issues going on, and men have no ability to ensure their own integrity. Feminism has promoted women-only reproductive "rights" while insisting on male-only reproductive "responsibilities". Women choose - men pay. The sexism is clear for anyone to see.

1. Last, but not least, feminist men and women have more and better sex.
Any advocate study (e.g. a study designed to say 'xyz' can be manipulated to say xyz at the end) will say the author wants it to say, so it's little surprise to find feminist authored "studies" systematically 'finding' that feminism is 'better' than other people... Such elevated opinions of self come across as narcissistic and egotistical.

There are a lot of cool-aid drinkers that posted under the original thread... The day feminists acknowledge that violence isn't gendered but a human problem, then we can talk...

Well dear, with two number 6s in there, you've almost adopted the number of the beast. As you've observed, feminism is NOT good for boys and men who wish to learn to count to 10.

What a condescending and sanctimonious article. The author is basically saying that men and particularly boys must be brainwashed into a female way of thinking. She quotes someone named Michael Kimmel:

In every arena -- in politics, the military, the workplace, professions and education -- the single greatest obstacle to women's equality is the behaviors and attitudes of men. I believe that changes among men represent the next phase of the movement for women's equality -- that changes among men are vital if women are to achieve full equality. Men must come to see that gender equality is in their interest -- as men.

In other words, decades of feminism have failed to give women the feminist definition of 'equality' (whatever that might be - it's never explained), because most women have made their own choices not to stampede traditional male roles. So if they can't make women more masculine, then they'll attempt to feminise men. Don't be surprised if the electrodes are brought out!

Listen up guys: THIS WOMAN WANTS TO DESTROY MASCULINITY! But it's for our own good you understand.

This is SO TRUE. A couple of days ago I posted on the Women & Hollywood blog about the mutual respect between men and women at my workplace. A response from one nutjob insisted that because I respected the women I work with I must agree with feminism!!! The arrogance!. I know that if feminism infested our workplace it would destroy what we have built.

The more I read about feminism the more I realise what a vicious, nasty, jealous, supremacist, control obsessed ideology it is.

But also good for a laugh!

Doesn't she mean "more and better rape"?

These type of articles seem to be coming out more and more often lately.

Sure signs that the fembot's are getting worried.

They think they can convince men that being on their knees is a good thing????????

No matter how hard they try,the backlash has only just begun.

**Zerbu** · 21st-March-2012

I guess it's true that if men were more feminine it would help women achieve equality... but, equality would be a downgrade for women, since they're provided for and protected while men are forced to do all the difficult work.

What feminists actually want is for men to switch between masculinity and femininity whenever it benefits women.

**haute macabre** · 21st-March-2012

Feminism isn't good for anyone. I'd rather have a root canal than be a Feminist.

**Zuberi** · 21st-March-2012

Feminism is social cancer that isn't good for anyone so it makes sense that such a movement would appeal to the greedy and the stupid.

Not even one of feminist has wised up the fact that women were only given equality so they could work hard and be taxed!

**felixblue** · 21st-March-2012

I am sure all the points made by the OP and marx are perfectly fine if one wants to think that way..

Personally I think feminism is good for men and boys because it enables us to take the piss just like women have always done!

But of course that is the last thing that "feminists" want us to do!

I have monstrously huge amounts of sex beyond what is humanly possible for the sane..

However I don't particularly enjoy it.. So maybe the OP has a point!

Sex is the primary tool of the feminist manipulators though so no surprises that they want to suggest that men who do whatever is expected by madam will have better sex..

Haha! I guess every poodle who works hard and slavers for meat will enjoy it when they get it!

In the event that radical feminists get their way and engulf the Western world, I will seriously consider moving to the Middle East. One of the Radfem posters said when radical feminists take over the world, they would kill off the remaining women who still support the "oppressive" leadership. If I end up not moving to the Middle East, I'll be stocking up on tons and tons of ammo and build up an army with the remaining women to fight them off. Best to prepare in advance!

This has been my contention all along, that modern feminism is a con sold to gullible women by capitalists and politicians who saw a wealth of untapped labour being 'wasted' on things like staying at home bringing up the next generation. "You can have it ALL!" they promised, and women sucked it up. And when they can't "have it all" because it is physically impossible, they blame men.

Life is about making choices about what's best for yourself and those around you. If you make the wrong choice and end up with a bloody nose, you can't blame others ....... unless of course you're a feminist.

The narcotic of entitlement and self delusion is at the core of feminism. The "system" keeps men in line and keeps women blind to their shared predicament. If women really opened their eyes to the reality of their making, they would be running away from the "system" screaming in horror. As long as the government, schools, and courts pander to women's desires, they will cheerfully keep their eyes closed and demand more "benefits" as the "system" grinds them (and men) into dust for the benefit of a few mega-wealthy families.

9. Greater academic success.
Studies indicate that boys with an entitled sense of power, based largely on gender, are less likely to do well academically or to try as hard in school. This isn't just a "third world" problem, but evident in the "boy crises" that we often hear about. Feminism isn't to blame -- sluggish culture is.

What an outright LIE! Boys with a sense of power do very well in school and excel because they feel good about themselves. We've all seen what the feminist model of education does to young men, it relegates them to second class citizens because of their gender thus making boys feel crappy about themselves. That's what the feminists want, young men who are demoralized and confused, that way they are easier to control.

The author's inability to count (two number 6's and missing number 4) demonstrates clearly for us all her so-called superior feminist-education... I'm so glad I wasn't taught that way, I can count to 10 without too much of a problem.

That's right, just like how when the Nazi's were destroying the Jews, it was for everyone's benefit!

Indeed, their egotism seems to know no bounds. Try this with any feminist, just get into a conversation and ask them if xyz or feminism is better (replace xyz with ANY subject) and it is confidently guaranteed that the feminist will claim feminism is the better of the two.

From where I'm stood - it's no different to any religion.

Oh but it is good for some... feminists. No one else. Just feminists. Especially if you're part of a group begging the government for a monetary hand-out.

Funny how 'others' always, but always, ends up being 'men' though, isn't it...

That's what the feminists want, young men who are demoralized and confused, that way they are easier to control.

Which is precisely what they need - a few generations of artificially created 'stupid' men to 'prove' that women are superior, again. With the men lacking confidence, as indoctrinated through the female dominated school system we currently observe, they will be less inclined to defend themselves from feminist hate campaigns, such as 'walk a mile in her shoes', which teaches all male students that they are rapists just waiting to happen.

...feminist men and women have more and better sex.

There is no empirical or statistical evidence for this. At the most, I might concede that if both partners are feminist, they are likely to be well matched in many of their thought processes, and the compatibility can lead to good lovemaking. The same could be said for partners where both are anti-feminists. It should also be mentioned that a deranged man or woman who sees nothing wrong with the world can be very happy indeed, in all areas of life. It is only us poor mugs who perceive what is happening to men, children and society who can be unhappy enough not to have a good sex life.

The study that is used to back up this claim is headlined "Feminists Have More Fun" but it is actually not based on feminists at all!

The study, published online this week in the journal Sex Roles, relied on surveys of both college students and older adults, finding that women with egalitarian attitudes do find mates and men do find them attractive.

Most people have no problem with egalitarians. Most men and women have issue with feminism, however.

For people needing some counter-point to an unsupported claim ..
